5 The Dress Circle

Some properties are simply houses. Others become a feeling and once you arrive, you'll understand why. Perched above the valley with open area views and the distant peak of Mt Buller quietly anchoring the horizon, this is a place that wraps itself around you. The kind of place where mornings begin slowly with coffee on the deck, and evenings end warmly by the fire. Built circa 1999 and solidly constructed to make the most of its privileged elevated position, the home is designed to maximise privacy, natural airflow, and a genuine sense of outlook.The area views stretch pleasantly across the surrounding landscape, with Mt Buller visible in the distance - a subtle but ever-present reminder of the remarkable alpine country you're nestled within. A view that shifts with the seasons and never loses its quiet charm. Inside, the large open-plan living and dining area is anchored by polished timber floors and flooded with natural light. A wood heater makes the heart of the home truly sing in the cooler months - this is hygge in its purest form. A dedicated bar area and pool table zone speak to the property's entertaining credentials, while the spacious kitchen with generous bench space, ample storage and a 900mm gas cooktop connects seamlessly to the main living area for effortless hosting. Three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, offer comfortable accommodation for family and guests. The oversized main bedroom features a walk-in robe and private ensuite - a genuine owner's sanctuary. Step outside onto the expansive wrap-around verandahs and elevated deck where external speakers set the mood and the pleasant area views do the rest. Fully dog-proof fence, the property is as practical as it is appealing. A key to the water awaits Included with the property is a key to the private boat ramp - your direct gateway to the lake. Whether it's an early-morning fishing session, an afternoon on the water, or simply the knowledge that it's there when you want it, this is a rare and coveted inclusion in this tightly held pocket of Mountain Bay. The infrastructure underpinning this lifestyle is equally impressive: approximately 65,000 litres of rainwater storage including gravity feed from the shed, a near-new heat pump hot water system, a powered shed with mezzanine storage, and a single carport. The practical bones are as strong as the lifestyle appeal. Whether you're seeking a permanent tree-change escape or the ultimate weekend retreat, 5 The Dress Circle is ready to deliver that rare thing - a property that not only meets your checklist, but genuinely moves you.
