5 Old Howes Creek Road, Mansfield | Mansfield Real Estate

Description

Just a short stroll from the lake’s edge, this charming and character-filled home feels immediately grounded in its setting. Tucked away in a wonderfully private position, it is surrounded by lush green lawns and mature planting that create a sense of seclusion and calm, while still keeping the water within easy reach.

Built with warmth and authenticity, the extensive use of stone, tile and metal gives the home a sense of permanence and individuality. Step inside to a light-filled, open plan kitchen, living and dining space, where large windows draw in natural light and connect the interior to the surrounding greenery. Designed for comfort in every season, the home features a fireplace, underfloor heating and ceiling fans, making it equally inviting for cosy winter stays or long summer escapes.

Accommodation includes two generous bedrooms plus a large separate study, offering flexibility for guests, working from home or extended visits. Living here naturally extends outdoors, with a series of sheltered sitting areas that invite you to relax, entertain or simply unwind after a day on the lake. The stone pizza oven anchors the outdoor zone, making casual meals and easy evenings outdoors part of everyday life.

Practicality is thoughtfully integrated throughout. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances, the bathroom is well proportioned, and storage has been carefully considered. A large garage provides an electric door, internal access and excellent additional storage or workshop space.

Sustainability has been addressed in a meaningful way, with an extensive 10.81kW solar system and substantial water storage via multiple tanks. The low-maintenance garden is designed to work with the environment, with wide eaves and established vines offering natural shade and cooling during the warmer months.

Whether you are arriving for weekends or settling in for longer stays, this is a private and peaceful lakeside retreat, rich in charm and character, and designed for a lifestyle that values space, comfort and connection to the outdoors.
