1814 Maintongoon Road, Maintongoon | Mansfield Real Estate

Description

Perched high above the valley with sweeping views over Lake Eildon, this special 20 acre property offers space, serenity and a warm, design focused character that is rarely found today.

The main residence showcases a beautifully curated 70s aesthetic, defined by rich timber ceilings, textural stonework and a warm, earthy palette that ties each space together. Original tilework, geometric patterns and period details have been thoughtfully preserved, creating a cohesive blend of character and comfort. The interplay of textures, from timber to brick to mosaic tile, gives the home a refined retro feel that is both inviting and genuinely unique. Light fills every room and enhances the home’s connection to the surrounding landscape while drawing you naturally toward the expansive entertaining deck.

From the cosy lounge with its wood fire and split system to the classic kitchen and adjoining dining area, every space unfolds with a sense of ease. The main living area opens directly onto a huge elevated deck that becomes the heart of outdoor living. It is an ideal setting for long lunches, sunset drinks and relaxed gatherings while taking in the sweeping outlook.

Downstairs, a fully self contained two bedroom apartment adds superb versatility. With its own bathroom, private courtyard and two split systems, it is perfectly suited to guests, extended family or short stay accommodation. For anyone considering a blend of lifestyle and income, this dual dwelling arrangement offers genuine earning potential. With the right marketing, the apartment could operate as a premium High Country getaway, capitalising on the property’s views, privacy and proximity to Lake Eildon, Alexandra and Mansfield. You could live upstairs and lease the lower level for consistent supplementary income, or rent both spaces as a high yield retreat. There is also the option to purchase the property on a walk in walk out basis, making the transition into holiday letting even easier.

Outdoors, the sense of retreat continues. The outdoor spa sits on its own dedicated deck, positioned slightly apart from the main entertaining areas to create a peaceful, intimate place to relax and soak in the view. Additional garden nooks and sitting areas offer even more spaces to unwind and enjoy the ever changing landscape.

The shedding on the property is a real standout. The main shed is enormous and provides space for multiple vehicles as well as a basic games room set up, secure lock up storage and a large additional area currently used as a home gym. Several smaller sundry sheds throughout the property add even more practical storage options.

Peaceful and private yet within easy reach of both Alexandra and Mansfield, this is a rare opportunity for those seeking a permanent home, a family retreat or a ready made short stay haven. It is a truly memorable property that celebrates space, outlook and timeless character, with the added benefit of income flexibility that makes it just as smart as it is special.
