NUTCRACKER

NUTCRACKER

Nutcracker would have to be one of the best presented houseboats, currently on Lake Eildon, that was originally built in the 1970’s. Walk on board and how nice is this with the inviting fresh colours, lovely décor and tasteful furniture. It really demonstrates how beautifully an older vintage houseboat can be presented.

With smart thinking, it maximizes the space in the front lounge. The modern kitchen with breakfast bar or sit up for a chat and a coffee servery continues this theme very well. Importantly there is a 24/7 electric fridge/freezer.

Sit on the couch and enjoy the magnificent views on the front deck or just watch your favourite TV Shows (footy, cricket or tennis) on the new TV connected via Starlink.

Nutcracker has a great Master Bedroom with double walkaround bed with plenty of storage whilst enjoying a serene view over the Lake. The second bedroom is for the kids with 2 single beds bunk. If there are extras there is the couch/double sofa bed in the lounge.

These are serviced by a bathroom with vanity plus shower with hip bath. The toilet is separate which many people prefer and is accessed from the rear deck.

For a houseboat of this vintage there is a sizable rear deck to enjoy some bubbles while watching a magnificent sunset. Jump in for a swim and there are two sets of water stairs to make it easy to get out of the water.

External stairs take you to the first storey level. The deck appears to be in very good condition. Enjoy the sunshine or a BBQ with the family on the quality outdoor dining setting under the canvass sun canopy with the fly wire screens.

Technical details: Nutcracker is 16feet in width and 45feet in length. She was last slipped in 2024 October (18 months ago) with 3.5 years before you consider slipping her again. Nutcracker is powered by a Volvo Penta 4cylinder motor which has been operating without any issues. A pre-purchase mechanical inspection can verify this.

Significantly and most importantly the owners have spent a lot of very good money on the Solar Electrics to ensure you can enjoy the experience on Nutcracker. This involves a new Victron Energy Multi-Plus 3000w Inverter/Charger System; a new Victron Energy Smart Solar Charge Controller; new Lithium Batteries (300AH x 2); and new Solar Panels (390w x 2). This is backed up by a modern Honda Generator with a remote start. Plenty of good power for a houseboat of this size.

Nutcracker is a beautifully presented entry level holiday home on the water of Lake Eildon. She is ready for you to walk on and start relaxing as all the big ticket items are taken care of. Start your journey on magical Lake Eildon of making those special memories with your family before they grow up on Nutcracker.

Remember the view from the back deck is always magnificent, especially on Nutcracker.
