Some places are so rare, so beautifully untouched, they feel like another world entirely. Welcome to 'Wares on the Howqua River'. Imagine owning your own slice of the Howqua River winding through your own private sanctuary.
Hidden deep within Victoria's magnificent High Country, where the Alpine National Park meets the Mansfield State Forest. One of only a handful of privately owned properties within the historic Howqua Hills precinct, this is wilderness in its purest form. Crystal-clear trout waters wind around sweeping green lawns, ancient gums, towering tree ferns and dramatic rocky escarpments, creating a natural paradise of remarkable beauty.
For the angler, the adventurer, the hunter and those who simply crave the extraordinary, this is a place like no other.
At the heart of the property sits a modern six-bedroom lodge, thoughtfully equipped for off-grid living with solar and battery power, generator backup, wood heating, gas cooking and bathroom facilities.
An enormous covered alfresco area, complete with the ultimate outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue and magnificent open fireplace, sets the scene for unforgettable gatherings, long lunches and evenings beneath the stars.
Spend your days fly fishing for trout, exploring remote High-Country trails, horse riding, four-wheel driving or simply enjoying the extraordinary peace of your own riverfront retreat.
Located approximately 6km beyond Sheepyard Flat, just past Tobacco Flat, Wares Flat is accessed via High-Country tracks. Four-wheel-drive access is essential, and its remote location is very much part of its unique appeal.
