You Wish: Mountain living hits new heights at these Mount Buller chalets

Whitehorse Village Road, Mount Buller

From $1.65 million

Boasting “top” status is not mere marketing spin at this Victorian Alps address.

The final block of ski-in/ski-out, drive-in/drive-out off-the-plan chalets of the Grollo family’s Whitehorse Village apartment development went live this month – the final of five stages rolling out in an exclusive line overlooking the ski resort’s popular Bourke Street run and ridgeline.

Once completed, the snow homes will occupy the highest residential property elevation in the Garden State and offer three bedrooms apiece, two bathrooms and views north and south across the top of nearby peaks.

Created by Interlandi Mantesso Architects, each chalet offers between 137 and 142 square metres of living including terrace. The trio, ready by June, will each have lift access and a garage with space for ski tuning, sharpening and storage, accessed via a residents-only road.

Castran Alpine boss John Castran is overseeing sales.

Just because you live near the beach doesn’t mean you have to give up the dream of a refined character home. This five-bedroom Tudor-style property comes with a pool and tennis court and has all the hallmarks of its era, from the stucco and timber gables to the decorative ceilings and diamond-patterned leadlights. David Hart of Buxton Brighton is open to offers until August 15.
