Tucked privately right in the centre of Metung township, positioned on approximately 8,863sqm of land, this property delivers fantastic seclusion while still offering the rare advantage of being within easy walking distance to the village centre, waterfront hotel, clubs and the local primary school.
The property comprises two distinct residences alongside shedding, forming a highly versatile holding suited to permanent living, guest or extended family accommodation, or an income-producing arrangement.
The main residence is a character-filled two-storey Western Red Cedar home full of personality. Distinctive features include a repurposed Bairnsdale Rowing Club boat reimagined as a feature ceiling light, and a decorative 'Mirror' dinghy suspended in the high void above the kitchen and living space - adding a strong reference to Metung's coastal identity. Recent upgrades enhance comfort and liveability, including renovated kitchen and bathrooms, polished timber floorboards, and newly constructed decks on both levels.
On the ground floor, the open plan living includes kitchen with electric cooking, island bench and meals area, which opens onto the deck. The spacious lounge is warmed by a combustion wood heater, creating a comfortable central living zone. The master bedroom includes a renovated ensuite and direct deck access, while the main bathroom offers shower, bath and vanity, separate toilet and integrated laundry facilities.
Upstairs, two generous mezzanine-style bedrooms each open onto the upper deck, with one including a built-in robe. A connecting passage leads to a separate study, storage or robe space. Year-round comfort is provided by reverse-cycle air conditioning.
Between the two dwellings is a large, sunny alfresco area, creating an ideal outdoor entertaining space for gatherings, celebrations or relaxed everyday living.
The second dwelling is constructed from mud brick, known for its natural thermal efficiency - remaining cool in summer and warm in winter. It features slate flooring, open-plan living with a new kitchenette, two bedrooms with built-in robes, renovated bathroom and a second toilet. This self-contained space is well suited to guests, extended family, or potential short-stay accommodation.
Next to this dwelling is a substantial 11.5m x 7.5m shed, providing secure storage for vehicles, boat or caravan.
Adding further value, the property holds a current planning permit for a two-lot subdivision. Endorsed plans allocate Lot 1 including the existing two dwellings and shedding on approximately 6710m², while Lot 2 represents a vacant 1214m² block to the left of the driveway. This presents flexibility for the future, whether to complete the subdivision, build, or sell the vacant allotment.
Despite its incredibly private and hidden position - so discreetly tucked away that many locals are unaware it even exists - the property sits within easy walking distance to cafés, shops, the waterfront and community facilities.
This property was recently sold following strong interest and multiple interested parties, and has now returned to the market due to a change in the new owners circumstances. Now the opportunity has arisen once again to secure this unique property – contact us today!
