Tourism Region: Gippsland
Tucked away within the peaceful surrounds of Wattle Point, this waterfront retreat offers the kind of lifestyle most only ever dream about. A place where mornings begin with still water and birdsong, where the pace slows naturally, and where every day feels connected to the landscape around you. Here, nature isn't just nearby, it's part of everyday life. Kangaroos gather in the yard beneath the trees, yachts drift quietly across the water, and dolphins occasionally pass by your front doorstep. Wander down to the water's edge, launch the boat or paddle boards from your own private ramp, cast a line and return home with fresh catch ready for the outdoor kitchen. Long summer afternoons are spent swimming straight from your landing, while cooler evenings call for pizzas in the woodfire oven and conversations around the fire pit beneath a sky full of stars. During spring, the property comes alive with flowering wattles lining the driveway, while nearby walking tracks reveal native grass trees and the occasional deer roaming quietly through the bushland. Set amongst it all is a beautifully renovated three-bedroom home with study, thoughtfully updated to blend comfort with its incredible natural setting. The upstairs main suite feels like a private retreat of its own, capturing uninterrupted lake views, spectacular sunrises and the kind of stillness that's hard to find. Imagine waking each morning to water glistening through the trees, then ending the day stargazing from bed in complete silence. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms include built-in robes and ceiling fans, serviced by a stylishly updated family bathroom. Recent improvements throughout the home include a full internal repaint, new skirting boards and architraves, updated blinds and a redesigned study complete with built-in desk and shelving. The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with updated cabinetry, new appliances and a frosted glass splashback, while the adjoining living area combines the warmth of a wood fire with the year-round comfort of a Daikin 7.1kW heating and cooling system. With reliable internet connected and both Paynesville and Bairnsdale within easy reach, this is a property that delivers privacy, comfort and an extraordinary connection to the water. Not just a home, but a lifestyle defined by calm, nature and complete escape. View the Due Diligence Checklist: consumer.vic.gov.au/duediligencechecklist

ABOUT THIS REGION Gippsland is a large rural region in Victoria, Australia. It begins immediately east of the suburbs of Melbourne and stretches to the New South Wales border, lying between the Great Dividing Range watershed to the north and Bass Strait to the south. The region is best known for its primary production such as mining, power generation and farming as well as its tourist destinations, Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, the Gippsland Lakes, Walhalla, the Baw Baw Plateau, and the Strzelecki Ranges. Walhalla attracts large numbers of tourists and is a major focus of the regional tourism industry. Walhalla was founded as a gold-mining community in early 1863 and at its peak home to around 2,500 residents. Today, the town has a population of fewer than 20 permanent residents, though it has a large proportion of houses owned as holiday properties. Wilson's Promontory has been a National Park, to one degree or another, since 1898. Also known locally as "the Prom", it contains the largest coastal wilderness area in Victoria. The only settlement within Wilsons Promontory is Tidal River which lies 30 km south of the park boundary and is the focus for tourism and recreation. Treat your taste buds with Gippsland’s delectable food, the product of lush pastures, rich volcanic soil and clean lakes and oceans. Wind your way past farms, vineyards, cheese factories and outlets selling delicacies on the 40-kilometre Gourmet Deli Trail. Or stick to exploring the region’s many cool-climate wine regions, including Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory, Lakes Entrance and Ninety Mile Beach. Buy organic fruit and vegetables from the farmers’ markets at Koonwarra, Drouin, Sale, Tyers and Bairnsdale. Pick your own berries from orchards in Warragul or catch your own lunch on a trout farm at Lakes Entrance.
