About this property
River Retreat, Buckland
The laid-back holiday you've been dreaming of awaits in this picture-perfect 3 bedroom property nestled footsteps from the Buckland River and Sinclairs, one of the best swimming holes in the area. You will love relaxing in the stylish outdoor or indoor living spaces as you entertain guests and admire gorgeous views over the surrounding area, including Mt Buffalo. Open living space with a central slow-combustion fireplace, ceiling fans and air-conditioning means year-round comfort. The kitchen is modern, stylish and sure to make holiday cooking for a family easy. Follow the sounds of the water and wander through the lush garden to the rear gate and the Buckland river beyond. The pebbled firepit is perfect for roasting marshmallows or enjoying a wine. The forest birds by day and the frogs by night are the soundtrack to your tranquil getaway, yet this quiet cul-de-sac location is only 13 minutes from Bright and 8 minutes from Porepunkah.
