Country Retreat with Fireplace & Scenic Views in Gippsland, Australia

This Luxury Gippsland Accommodation sits on 50 private acres, perched on a ridgeline above the Strzelecki Ranges in Yarragon South, 90 minutes from Melbourne. Four bedrooms, sleeps up to eight, two dogs welcome.The land is the reason to come. Tall ash gums, fern gullies and open grassland, with two private walking trails that are yours alone for the length of your stay. The Tramway Track is an easy one kilometre return, following an 1880s logging tramway through the gullies. Tall Timbers Trail is steeper and asks more of you. Wallabies at the treeline in the early morning, echidnas on the track, kookaburras before you have opened your eyes.Inside, two wood fires are laid and ready to light on arrival, the kitchen is equipped for proper cooking, and there is no television in the main living room. That last one is deliberate, and it's the thing guests mention most.Breakfast provisions are waiting when you arrive: Gippsland Jersey milk and butter, local sourdough, homemade jam, fresh eggs, and honey from our hives at Green Hills Farm next door.Sunset belongs to Loggers Lookout, a private timber platform reached from the back deck, looking out over the valley toward Mount Baw Baw. Take something from the pantry down with you.Yarragon village is ten minutes away for the markets, coffee and shops. Mount Baw Baw's snowfields and the beaches at Inverloch are both within the hour. Fast NBN wifi if you need to stay reachable, though most guests stop checking by the second morning.
