Description

Elevated Alpine Living Above Hanmer Springs

Set on a gentle rise above Hanmer Springs, the house looks out across a layered landscape of trees, hills, and distant mountains. Light shifts steadily through the day, moving across the valley and filtering into the interiors through wide windows. The setting feels removed yet connected, with the village below remaining within easy reach. From the balcony, the outlook opens fully, offering a clear sense of the surrounding terrain. The atmosphere is quiet and settled, shaped by elevation and open air. Movement between levels introduces a gradual unfolding of views, each vantage point slightly different from the last. The overall experience is defined by space, outlook, and a steady alpine rhythm.

The interior is arranged across three levels, allowing for separation between shared and private areas. Living spaces are positioned to take advantage of natural light, with seating areas oriented toward the outlook. A log burner anchors the main living area in cooler months, while the layout supports easy movement between kitchen, dining, and lounge zones. Two dining areas provide flexibility for larger groups, allowing meals to unfold without crowding. The kitchen integrates into this flow, supporting both everyday use and group cooking.

The home accommodates five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a self-contained two-bedroom studio on the lower ground floor. The configuration includes four queen beds, one double bed, and two single beds, along with a sofa bed. Bedrooms are distributed across levels, offering a mix of shared and more private arrangements. Bathrooms are positioned to serve both main living areas and the lower-level accommodation.

Outdoor areas extend from the main living level to a balcony and patio, where seating and dining spaces take advantage of the elevated position. The outlook remains present throughout the day, with mornings opening onto clear air and evenings settling into quieter tones. A barbecue area supports outdoor meals, while the surrounding garden provides a sense of enclosure.

Positioned within Hanmer Springs, the residence sits within easy reach of the village centre, thermal pools, and surrounding walking tracks. Conical Hill is accessible nearby, offering a direct connection to the area’s landscape, while forest trails and open countryside provide additional ways to spend time outdoors.

The home suits extended families and larger groups seeking space, flexibility, and a connection to the alpine setting. Multiple living areas and the separate studio allow for both shared time and independent retreat.

Elevated above the valley, the setting remains defined by open views and a steady mountain presence.
