The House at Smoko is a spectacular retreat, nestled on 28 acres between the picturesque towns of Bright and Harrietville in Victoria’s High Country. The retreat is set on two acres of wonderland gardens, 16 acres of grazing land and 12 acres of bush lead down to the crystal clear water of the Ovens River which gently flows along the boundary.
The House at Smoko is just 10 minutes out of the Great Alpine Valleys most famous town of Bright, 30 minutes from Mt Hotham ski resort and one hour from Falls Creek. Set among a garden of towering wild Elm Oak trees and with dramatic views of Mt Feathertop and the Smoko Valley, the House is a rich tapestry of craftsmanship, beauty and history.
Initially inspired by the mountain cattlemen’s huts and tobacco drying kilns which punctuate the local landscape, The House at Smoko’s also reflects the works of Christopher Alexander, a noted US architect and scholar who formulated a “pattern language” of ways houses can be designed to support sociable places....
