JollyMont Retreat - Rolling Hills Sanctuary
JollyMont is a rare, modern, small acreage property set high in the rolling South Gippsland Hills, conveniently located close to Foster, Fish Creek, and Meeniyan. A hidden gem, it offers a serene escape from the hustle of city life, making it ideal for a weekend retreat or a potential short-term rental.
The current owners have cherished it as a peaceful getaway—a place to relax on the veranda while watching the shifting clouds, or enjoying the thrill of a wedge-tailed eagle soaring by. This property isn’t just a home, it’s an invitation to experience the beauty of nature. Wildlife and rare birds abound, with wombats, wallabies, and echidnas becoming your new entertaining neighbours in this tranquil setting.
Crafted approximately 10 years ago, JollyMont's structure is solidly built and positioned to make the most of its elevated hillside setting, providing rural hill views on three sides and glimpses of the high mountains in the distance. Compact yet comfortable, the home is designed to be easy-care, making it a perfect fit for a weekend getaway or a low-maintenance permanent residence.
The open-plan layout features a practical kitchen with plenty of storage, an electric stove, and a cooktop that overlooks the dining and lounge areas. The split-system air conditioner ensures that the interior stays comfortable in any season, while the veranda wraps around, offering perfect spots to enjoy the stunning views.
The property includes two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, adjacent to the lounge area. A modern combined bathroom and laundry sits conveniently opposite the kitchen. Outside, a 35,000-litre rainwater tank provides ample water supply for the property. JollyMont is fully fenced, and the small dam on-site could be useful for watering livestock.
