A spectacular alpine chalet located in the highly sought after Dinner Plain area will be the first ever mortgagee in possession property to be auctioned online in Victoria.

The Dinner Plain property will be marketed by John Castran  of John H. Castran in South Yarra, Victoria to potential buyers using soldonline.com.au, an online auction campaign with bidding starting on 14 April and ending 19 April. 

Director of soldonline.com.au and Licensed Real Estate Auctioneer, David Scholes said, “Through soldonline.com.au vendors have access to more bidders from all over the world and bidders have access to an increased international property market from wherever they are 24/7.”

 “As people are becoming increasingly time poor, the world more global and people more computer literate, online auctions will quickly become a favoured alternative. Online auctions are the way of the future,” said Mr Scholes. 

The alpine chalet, “Oriole” offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a unique Dinner Plain chalet, the only freehold properties in the Australian Alps.  Dinner Plain is situated 10 kilometres from Mount Hotham ski resort and just four and a half hours from Melbourne. 

The spectacular property has recently been renovated to a brand new condition. The property features four bedrooms, comfortably sleeping 12, two and a half bathrooms, an open stone fireplace, an atmospheric living area, sundeck and ample parking. 

The chalet is located on an elevated sought after position on a 705 square metre block. 

Real Estate agent of John H. Castran, South Yarra, John Castran said, “This stylishly renovated and tastefully decorated property gives prospective buyers the chance to own a great alpine escape in the picturesque Dinner Plain village just ten minutes drive to Mt Hotham.”

“The Chalet is sure to appeal to those looking for a permanent mountain base or a great holiday house.”

“There has been a high demand for Dinner Plain properties this year as the properties are seen as excellent value for money for the quality of the properties on offer.”

“Oriole is a unique opportunity and will appeal to a wide variety of people both within and outside the local area. We have decided to use soldonline.com.au, the online bidding system to allow for a greater range of bidders who can register and bid from wherever they are 24/7,” said Mr Castran.
