Happy Valley Retreat - Your High Country Escape: Pool & Valley Views

Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of Ovens Valley. Find your perfect balance of relaxation and adventure at this light-filled, two-story home set on 1.5 serene acres. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a trip with friends, or a peaceful couple's escape, this is your ideal base for exploring the best of Victoria's High Country, from the charming towns of Myrtleford and Bright to the scenic drives beyond.

This home is designed for comfort and connection, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and unwind.

Downstairs - The Heart of the Home The open-plan living area is where you’ll gather after a day of exploring. Sink into the sofas by the wood fire, share meals in the spacious dining area, and enjoy cooking together in the fully-equipped kitchen with a gas cooktop and dishwasher. Large glass doors open directly onto the outdoor entertainer’s area, where you can enjoy a morning coffee on the patio while taking in the views of the vibrant gardens.

Upstairs - Your Private Sanctuaries Head upstairs to find four versatile rooms waiting for you. The master suite is a true hideaway, featuring a king bed, a walk-in robe, an ensuite, and your own private deck—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening wine as you watch the sun set over the pool and gardens, with the magnificent silhouette of Mount Buffalo in the distance. You’ll also find two additional queen bedrooms, one with a set of single bunk beds, both with built-in storage, and a fourth area that’s perfect as a kids’ playroom or a quiet home office. A second lounge or rumpus room upstairs gives your group even more space to relax.

Outdoors - Swim, Soak, and Unwind The private, solar-heated inground pool is the star of the show during the warmer months. It’s the perfect place for a refreshing dip on a hot summer day. Surrounded by lush gardens, the pool area feels like your own personal resort. (Please note the pool is seasonal and only warm during spring and summer).
You’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the tranquility of the valley with fantastic attractions right at your doorstep.
