Perched on five acres of elevated alpine land, 13 Carruthers Road presents an expansive family home, a charming cottage, and one of the best views in Jindabyne.
This versatile block is fully fenced and ultra-private, despite being a short drive from town.
The main house sprawls across two levels. Equipped with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living areas, there’s more than enough space here for the whole family to enjoy.
“This beautiful residence was designed to capture the stunning landscape from every possible angle,” sales agent Toni Wheelhouse says.
“Whoever next calls this place home will wake up to unforgettable 360-degree views of Lake Jindabyne, rolling foothills and the Snowy Mountains every morning.”
“This beautiful residence was designed to capture the stunning landscape from every possible angle.
The indoors are warm and welcoming, offering a fresh take on the classic mountain lodge style with Spotted Gum hardwood floors, lush carpets and elevated ceilings.
“Home cooks will fall in love with the gourmet kitchen,” Toni says.
“A huge island bench offers casual seating for quick meals, and two pantries mean you’ll never run out of storage.”
The kitchen flows into a sunny dining area, filled with light thanks to bifold doors that open onto a large entertainment patio.
Next up are the lounge and family room. Both are equipped with fireplaces and surrounded by bay windows. They offer panoramic views that Toni says never fail to impress guests.
The family room also features a built-in bar, an arcade machine and a pool table.
One bedroom with its own ensuite and built-in wardrobe resides on the upper level.
The remaining four are downstairs. Three share a stylish family bathroom, while the oversized master has an ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe, and separate access to the outdoors.
The lower level also features a home office, media room and a gym with garage access.
Just down from the main house is a three-bedroom cottage with a double carport attached. It’s completely self-contained, making it perfect for guest accommodation or as a holiday rental.
“The cottage displays a fantastic use of space,” Toni says.
“You have a full kitchen, your own bathroom, and a flexible living area. There are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes on ground level, and a peaceful loft bedroom above.
“Gas heating keeps the whole home comfortably warm, and once again, the views are phenomenal.”
Outdoor entertainers are spoiled for choice at number 13 with multiple gathering areas to choose from.
The main house features an expansive patio on its northern side, complete with remote-controlled awnings, lights and privacy screens.
To the south is a timber wraparound deck which leads to lush lawns, a wood-fired hot tub, and the first of two open-air fire pits.
The second fire pit is down beside the cottage residence, offering a casual setting that becomes especially cosy in the evenings.
Additional features include a four-bay concrete shed with ample room for parking or storage. There’s also a second shed site with a concrete slab, power and plumbing set up and ready to go.
“Number 13 would suit a range of buyers; it’s very versatile,” Toni says.
“You could live here permanently with loads of space for extended family and guests, or enjoy a beautiful holiday home while renting the cottage out for extra income.
“Best of all, you’re only six minutes away from Jindabyne’s CBD but have a wonderful sense of privacy.”
The landscaped grounds are hardy and need little to no maintenance, save for mowing the lawns in summer. Stone retaining walls create terraced spaces that connect both residences.
Known as the gateway to the Snowy Mountains, Jindabyne is a bustling tourist town that welcomes thousands of snow-goers every winter season.
Perisher and Thredbo alpine resorts are just half an hour away, and the local hospitality scene thrives on cafes, restaurants, pubs and breweries.
Kookaburras, kangaroos, echidnas, wallabies and wombats all call this area home.
“Plenty of people visit during the warmer months as well, for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding and fishing,” Toni says.
“Water sports on Lake Jindabyne are a popular pastime in summer.
“Our town offers the best of both worlds. We have an engaged community and great amenities, including a new K-12 school that just opened, but the high-country wilderness is never far away.”
13 Carruthers Road in Jindabyne is priced at $3,200,000. For more information or to book a private inspection, contact Toni Wheelhouse on 0431 486 588. Keeping an eye on the market? Check out all the latest listings on Zango.
