The perfect off-grid lifestyle change in the Snowys

Set in the beautiful landscape that surrounds Lake Jindabyne, 51 Eucumbene Road at Hill Top is a unique property in the local market. And with no less than four residences on the 20-acre block – a comfortable three-bedroom, two-bathroom home and three eco-friendly cabins – number 51 presents the opportunity to build an enviable lifestyle and booming business at the same time.

Despite being just a short drive from Jindabyne’s CBD, the property is peaceful and private, overlooking the eastern shores of Lake Jindabyne towards the towering Snowy Mountains.

The best part? The property is entirely off-grid and powered by the sun.

Two solar systems, 6 kW for the main house and 15 kW for the cabins, are supported by a battery system as well as automatic diesel generators. Rainwater is collected in 45,000-litre and 150,000-litre tanks. The block is also fully fenced.

Nestled into the hillside is the main house, which is designed to be comfortable, practical and ultra-liveable.

Michael Henley, director of Henley Property, enjoys how many spaces the home has to kick back and relax in with family and friends.

“The beauty of open plan living is nobody feels boxed in or shut away,” he says.

“There are numerous areas for entertaining. Picture yourself snuggled up by the fireplace on chilly winter nights or enjoying a meal outdoors under the covered alfresco area with the firepit lit.

“I also love the little study nook just beside the kitchen, which is a great inclusion for families with school-aged kids or professionals who work from home.”

Storage won’t be a problem here, with plenty of cabinet space in the modern kitchen, a walk-in robe in the master suite and built-in robes in the secondary bedrooms. Double-glazed windows, ducted heating and ceiling fans keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer.

Just a short distance from the main house are three luxury eco-cabins: Billy Button, Snowgums and Candlebark. These rural retreats are designed with an open-plan layout, large windows and sheltered outdoor dining areas, offering guests a true return to nature while keeping them comfortable.

Each cabin has two bedrooms and a bathroom with a separate toilet. The cabins are kept comfortable thanks to double-glazed windows and hydronic heating on polished concrete floors throughout.

“They’re the perfect rural hideaway for visitors during snow season,” Michael says.

“But you could also run them throughout the year to attract coast-goers and anyone looking to get away for the weekend with their kids.

“Their management has already shown great promise and similar business models in the area bring in upwards of $150,000 a year.”

Michael says the property presents boundless opportunities for growth.

“You’ve got so much room to play here. If you wanted to, you could easily keep horses or hobby livestock, set up an orchard, or even build market gardens while running the cabins.

“51 Eucumbene Road could be anything the new owners want it to be.”

51 Eucumbene Road, Jindabyne goes to auction Thursday 25 July at 3pm. The price guide is: $2,250,000 to $2,475,000.
