174 Pine Avenue, Badger Creek, Vic 3777

Unique, versatile, and full of potential, this might just be the lifestyle opportunity you didn’t see coming. Expansive in scale and rich in character, the flexibility is remarkable, the value unmistakable, and the setting nothing short of mesmerising. Whether you're seeking a spacious home for multi-generational living, a unique accommodation business, or an equine retreat, this extraordinary property opens the door to exciting possibilities.

Beyond the front gates, a tree-lined drive winds past green paddocks and horse stables to the discovery that awaits. Each space unveils with quiet awe, a different purpose, a fresh outlook, yet together they create a lifestyle of connection, retreat, and joy. Immersed in nature on three serene acres against the backdrop of Mount Toolebewong, black cockatoos fly overhead and native wildlife meander onto the property including wombats, kangaroos, and even the occasional koala.

The north-facing home unfolds across two levels with double glazing and thoughtful thermal design. The main residence houses three bedrooms, while the other bedrooms/suites can be closed off when not in use, offering great flexibility around layout. Generous living areas feature cosy fires and two fully equipped kitchens, one with stone benchtops and premium appliances, and the other with a sleek modern layout. A collection of uniquely styled bedroom suites begins with the accessible villa, which features a forest-view spa bath and disability-friendly design. The other bedrooms /suites offer options for personalization, including balconies, spas, fireplaces, or kitchenettes, and enjoy views across the valley to mountains and the lights of Lilydale beyond.  The second residence can be closed off from the main residence, meaning you have full privacy and total flexibility.

Entertaining takes centre stage in the first living space, which features a built-in bar and a hidden indoor swimming pool beneath the floor, while the second living room strikes a more formal tone with a statement fireplace. Downstairs living spills out to the vine-draped patio overlooking distant views, where days turn to nights by the open fire, a glass of red in hand, and the laughter of friends new and old warms the heart. Upstairs, a third living room offers guests a place to gather and take in the spectacular scenery from above.
Car collectors and equine families will find everything they need with secure garaging, multiple carports, stables with wash bay, and additional assets such as a chicken coop, garden shed, solar panels, a 45,000-litre water tank, and productive fruit trees supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.

Currently operating as a respected accommodation venue near Healesville Sanctuary and local wineries, the property offers scope to continue the business or embrace the home for private living. There is more to see, more to dream, but only one property like this that can make it all happen.
