1260 Mansfield-Woods Point Road, Piries, VIC 3723

This remarkable architect designed home pays reverence to both passive solar and Feng Shui principles. Floor to ceiling North facing windows frame beautiful views of the river and park like grounds. The unique roofline design (inspired by Japanese temples) and magnificent deciduous trees help keep the home cool in Summer and allow the sunlight to stream in to warm the natural stone heat banks in Winter.

The rare Riparian title (where you own half of the river) ensures absolute privacy as well as endowing the property with river water pumping rights. The established gardens and paddocks are fully reticulated by the river pump. Lush lawns and huge shady trees complement the beautiful gardens created by garden designer Ralph Bristow, and there is also a productive fruit orchard and vegetable beds. There's enough pasture to run a few head of cattle or other livestock enabling you to enjoy a self-sufficient lifestyle without the responsibility of a larger farm.

As well as the incredibly energy efficient home there is also an interconnected fully self-contained guest 'cottage' with it's own private entrance (currently utilised as consulting rooms for the owner's Oriental Medicine practice) and substantial shedding.

The booming regional town of Mansfield is only 10 minutes away with a bus service to the local schools including the Mansfield Steiner School. You can launch your boat onto Lake Eildon from the deep water boat ramps just down the road in Goughs Bay, and if you're a snow bunny we can show you the shortcut to Mt Buller to get you on the slopes for first tracks.

There are so many features here, both inside and out, that we haven't listed them all here. We can provide detailed information and more photos, just complete an enquiry with your email address.
