Situated within the upper reaches of the Mitta Mitta River region, Payne’s Hut is a unique high-country retreat offering one of the most remarkable lifestyles we have encountered in 40 years of selling high-country real estate.
Payne’s Hut is set on 1 acre (0.4 of a hectare) and is a totally secluded Shangri-La within an expansive backdrop of the high country. Glen Valley and Shannon Vale offer, without doubt, the most genuine connection to the high country that exists in Alpine Australia.
Payne’s Hut has been hand crafted with unbelievable dedication and attention to detail by the present owners over the last two decades. It is celebrated for its authenticity and its harmonious relationship with the high-country environment.
The property is secluded, yet allows for access to Falls Creek, Dinner Plain, and Mount Hotham in under 90 minutes for the summer activity enthusiasts. Its surrounds offer, world class mountain trails, all within close reach. The pristine rivers of the Mitta Mitta and Bundara further complement this holding and not to mention the abundance of off road 4WD tracks.
It is incredibly difficult to accurately convey just how exceptional Payne’s Hut is; however, we will attempt to describe the buildings and their connection to the high country. In essence, there are three hand-curated and crafted building components to the holding.
The Residence
At the heart of the retreat is The Residence, with an abundance of natural light, across it’s two-storeys. You quite possibly will never see such a living room, well-equipped kitchen and star-gazing outdoor decking, making entertaining effortless in any season.
The Hut
For visiting guests or family, this hand-crafted timber structure is the epitome of high-country living. It consists of a bedroom, bathroom and private outdoor viewing deck, and just steps away is an outdoor four-poster bed for the day-nappers and book worms to breathe in the aromas of the meticulously kept gardens that surround it.
The Barn
This timber structure is divided into two private wings. Each with their own bedroom, spectacular bathroom, and woodfire heating. The Barn provides independent accommodation and entertainment areas to The Residence, or can be combined to accommodate multiple families or additional parties wishing to dwell on the property.
The outdoor bar, communal fire pit and extensive lawns lend themselves to the gathered or the go solo moments. Payne’s Hut truly does provide a deep connection with the rhythm of the high country, no matter your lifestyle or interests.
The Alpine Garden has been developed over the last 20 years, is fully irrigated, and has an abundant water supply. It complements every aspect of the hand-built buildings and the land on which they sit.
Payne’s Hut is more than a home; it’s a sanctuary. Whether you envision a private retreat, a space of wellness, or a base for high-country adventure, this property adapts to your vision. Enjoy world-class trout fishing, hiking, kayaking, bushwalking, and the best horse trail rides in Australia, all at your doorstep.
