Dreaming of not going back to the office in the new year?

So the holidays have made you think, do I really want to go back to the routine of normal life after the festive season? Is it time for a change?

Are we just going to settle in 2020 for what 2019 had to offer? No, we here you all cry! Here are some fabulous lifestyle options for those who seek a better slice of cheese.

How about having to face this view every day? If you moved to Coopers Shoot, and purchased this tranquil eight-bedroom home, you could.

One imagines people may even pay to sit on the veranda with you - and voila! 295 Coopers Shoot Road (above) in Byron Shire becomes a little self-supporting.

Fortuitously, there is currently a billiard table and a bar to be found on one of the pavilions. What more could you need?

If the guest house/AirBnB concept is starting to look good to you in 2020, then this very pink nine-bedroom mansion set on 5,251sq m of lush, mountain air-laden-lawn in Mt Victoria is another one to watch.

The original features of 2-12 Closeburn Drive are divine, and the property is completely and tastefully renovated.

Plus, the Blackheath Golf Course is only a short drive over the mountain, and is simply spectacular and you can always get a parking spot.

But what options are there if you decide the office life is no longer for you and you want to up-sticks and move away from the 'big smoke'?

Get a new job, start a new business - and buy this gorgeous corner shop/hairdressing salon (fully fitted-out in chic white) - and make your own future, for just $525,000.

Ballarat is within a sleigh-ride's distance of the hubbub of Melbourne, and in the meantime you could have your own space at 426 Lydiard Street (above), in historic Ballarat.

Or leave the mainland completely, there is a plan. Anyone who has been to Hobart raves about the bracing fresh air, amazing views and very, very laid back lifestyle.

Dynnyrne is the location of the ever-so-spacious 25 Proctors Road (above). An historic home with four big bedrooms and an even larger spa room, and then there is the delightfully Victorian-styled glass conservatory.

Here's the place to write your memoirs, in between taking deep breaths of truly fresh air, and mingling with the very active Hobart arts community.

If all of that is still too risky for you - perhaps just an escape hatch will help you get back in the holiday head space.

For just $190,000 you could slink off to Victoria, slip into Rye and open the door to this delightful little Boatshed 22 (above), and leave your worries far behind you.

Interesting fact, there are 2000 boatsheds and bathing boxes in Victoria. There's got to be something pretty special happening in them.
