Enchanted forest hideaway, minutes from the beach
‘Rose’ (circa 75 years old) lies in a sheltered forest valley that feels like a secret hideaway but is in fact only a few minutes’ drive from Lorne’s busy beachfront promenade. This wonderfully well cared-for original timber cutter’s cottage was built to house the families of mill workers in the early to mid 20th Century.
It is set on a 700 sqm approx. site on the banks of the Saint George River against a tall eucalypt backdrop with forest views and gentle birdsong on all flanks. The front deck faces the morning sun and the rear deck has an outlook to ferny Henderson Creek.
This spacious cottage offers two airy double bedrooms, newly polished floorboards, great casual living space, reverse cycle heating/cooling and updated bathroom. There’s a laidback bush-meets-beach feel redolent of summer holidays gone by, overlaid with a Country Style ethos.
That’s just the house. Right around you, year round, there’s the Great Otway National Park: waterfalls, walking tracks, bird watching, picnicking, marsupial sighting, child-educating natural wonders. And you’re 1500 metres from the town boundary of Lorne, with all it has to offer. So close you could walk in.
