696 CAMBATONG ROAD, Tolmie VIC 3723

Tucked away in the Tolmie Hills and wrapped in forest canopy, this Mt Gambier stone cottage sits quietly on six private acres, with breathtaking views that stretch across the King Valley and out to the distant alpine peaks. It is a setting that instantly slows the pace and reminds you why you came. Inside, the home is warm and full of character, with cathedral ceilings and beautiful natural light filling the combined living and dining space. A generous Coonara wood fire anchors the room, making it equally inviting in winter as it is in the warmer months. Two well-sized bedrooms sit downstairs, while a mezzanine level provides a third sleeping space that feels tucked away and peaceful. The refurbished kitchen sits comfortably within the home, complemented by a central bathroom and separate W.C., making everyday living easy and practical. Polished concrete floors run throughout the kitchen, living and dining areas, adding a contemporary edge while remaining perfectly suited to the surrounding environment. Step outside and the outlook does the talking, with ever-changing light, visiting wildlife and a sense of complete privacy. The land itself is thoughtfully set up, with three spring-fed dams, multiple water tanks and extensive electric fencing providing excellent infrastructure for a lifestyle property. A substantial garage and shed measuring approximately 6.8m x 11.7m, complete with concrete floor, power and a side skillion open bay (approximately 2.3m x 11.7m), offers outstanding space for storage, workshop use or equipment. Adding further appeal is the property’s impressive 12kW solar power system paired with a 13.5kW Tesla battery, capable of running the home in off-grid mode if required, offering both energy independence and peace of mind. Whether you are seeking a private weekend escape, a permanent tree change or a unique holiday rental opportunity, this is a rare and beautiful holding. Just 30 minutes from Mansfield, moments from State Forests and within easy reach of the King Valley, it is a place that feels wonderfully removed yet still connected.
