Sir Roden Cutler VC and Lady Helen Cutler's family retreat, Rohaven, is offered for sale after nearly six decades in the family. Designed by Pollitt, Malcolm & Bell and completed in July 1968, the four-bedroom house faces north over Lake Eucumbene, at Eucumbene Cove on the border of Kosciuszko National Park.
The house began with a love of fly fishing. Sir Roden's visits to the lake led the Cutlers to commission a home where fishing, boating, walking, and skiing became part of family life for generations.
Retaining its original floor plan, Rohaven places living and dining at the centre, opening to a northern balcony and the lake beyond. The main bedroom is separate from the other bedrooms, providing privacy for family and guests. Approximately 136 sq m of internal living space sits within an established garden on 2,864 sq m of land.
The original interiors and fittings remain remarkably intact, reflecting the family's careful stewardship. Practical updates include replacing the kitchen's oil-fired heater with a wood-combustion stove and adding air-conditioning, while preserving the house's mid-century character.
Retaining a wonderful collection of original furniture, Rohaven offers its next owners the opportunity to begin their own chapter by the lake fishing, boating, camping, walking and skiing connecting family life with the vast alpine landscape beyond.
We look forward to welcoming you to this remarkably intact mid-century country retreat.
