477 Buttercup Road, Merrijig, Vic 3723

A lifestyle revelation in this highly prized Merrijig location, the stone-clad home is an absolute entertainer's dream with a complete lifestyle focus. While the horses and highland cows are welcome, so is relaxing on the terrace after a refreshing dip in the designer infinity pool. The winter draw of a soak in the spa after a big day on the slopes or cosying up with a book in front of the stone fireplace overlooking the snow-capped glow of Timbertop is unbeatable.

Just under 15 easily managed acres, the ingenious vision of this property includes extensive landscaping and clever use of local stone and timber. With its gorgeous post and rail fencing, 'Buttercup Retreat' sits perfectly amongst some of the High-Country's most elite properties. This six-bedroom home responds well to its environment with natural hues and luxurious textures giving each generous living space and bedroom a bespoke feel.

The only effort is adventure – hit the High-Country trails for hiking, motorbike riding, horse riding or fishing. Mt Buller, Mt Stirling, and Lake Eildon are all on your doorstep. Accommodating up to 20 guests, this could be your new High country base, or a weekend escape and lucrative Airbnb.
