Perched on a picturesque cliffside is a one of a kind property comprising two unique homes set on approximately half an acre, with spectacular views over the lakes and beyond to the Bass strait. From here you can enjoy endless sunrises and sunsets, watching dolphins, birds and sailing boats go by. It is truly magic.

Located in a secret hamlet on the Gippsland Lakes and away from the crowds of the nearby towns of Metung and Lakes Entrance. Local tales say the original historic home was once a tea house for the passing steam boat passengers. The property has been tightly held and is only the third time it is offered for sale in the last 60 years. It is a private oasis consisting of two fully self-contained houses which perfectly blend into their natural surroundings.

The Tea House has been lovingly restored to become an elegant and cosy home, where the large glass windows and wood fire allow the indoor and outside surrounds to meet in perfect harmony. Features of the main living area include the reclaimed European Oak flooring and travertine flooring in the bathroom. The Antique wrought iron and timber French doors to the butler's pantry, 100% French linen curtains to the living kitchen area, and wool carpet. The home consists of two bedrooms, large bathroom, workshop/studio, open plan lounge, kitchen, with LPG oven, split system, fans, wood fire, and roof top storage. A real highlight of the property is the stonework outside, blink once and you might feel like you're in a Mediterranean dream.

The Little House has been updated in a similar fashion, with reclaimed European Oak flooring and 100% French linen curtains, travertine tiles in the kitchen, window seating, wood fire, split system and fans, and an outdoor soak bath. This property has been operating successfully as a boutique Airbnb listing.

The garden has been planted with veggie boxes and an orchid. In addition there is a 6.5kw solar system, 4 water tanks with a capacity of 32,000ltrs and a sanden eco heat. There are no water bills here. Extensive car parking for 8 vehicles. Turning space for cars, boats and caravans.

Sitting below the property is the gorgeous Nungurner Jetty, where you can moor your boat, or dip your toes. Metung is only a short car or boat ride away. Here you can enjoy cafes, the local pub and pamper yourself at the newly opened Metung Hot springs. Or head to Lakes Entrance to pick up fresh seafood from the various trawlers, and enjoy the alfresco dining on your private cliffside. Commute to the Barrier landing for a swim in the 90mile beach where you are spoiled by an endless beach and clear water. It is only four hours away from Melbourne, with trains running from Southern cross station to Bairnsdale.

This property is a life buoy to those drowning in a sea of business, a place where you can catch your breath and enjoy the tranquillity. Are you the new custodian of this truly stunning lakeside property?
