Description from owner
Description
This Tudor style house is located on one of the most beautiful places on Raymond Island, 6km's from the Paynesville township on 10 acres of bushland with tall trees in a parklike setting. Secluded off a beautiful long winding driveway, the house with its two attached 2 storey cottages is but a few metres from the water's edge and has a safe sandy beach which stretches for miles on this side of the island. There is no road between the house and beach! This area in Gippsland is well known for its mild climate in winter, and cooling sea breezes in the hot summertime. It is surely one of the finest inland lake locations in Victoria, indeed Australia. It offers great variety such as swimming, bushwalking, sailing, boating, fishing, bowling and golf.
The prawns run right out the front in summer and kayaks are available to explore the lakes system.
We offer truly peaceful, exclusive and tranquil surroundings in which to relax and be close to unspoiled nature.
Resident on this property are koalas, echidnas, family of tawny frog mouth owls, sea eagles and kangaroos and their babies. The name of the property is a tribute to all the birdlife including black swans, pelicans, albatrosses, spoonbills, ibises, caspian terns, crimson and eastern rosellas, swift parrots, blue wrens, flame robins, azure kingfishers and many more. Vehicular ferry from Paynesville costs $13 return trip. Bicycles and pedestrians are free.
THIS IS A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY.
RAYMOND ISLAND IS A NATURE RESERVE AND AS SUCH WE DO NOT CATER FOR ANY PETS. This cottage faces west, toward the park-like grounds, and includes master bedroom and second bedroom upstairs, with kitchen/dining, lounge and compact bathroom downstairs and alfresco eating area off the lounge room.
