Why? A one-of-a-kind opportunity over more than 5 acres (approx. 2.04ha), this stylish 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom family estate is surrounded by natural bushland with the mountainous majesty of the Dandenong Ranges on the horizon. Enjoy the tranquillity of your own private sanctuary with stunning views, native flora and fauna, a showpiece pool, and a craftsman-built masterpiece. Start planning your escape today!

What? The property reveals itself at the end of a circular driveway beyond secure gated entry. Under towering vaulted ceilings, discover a wonderful sense of depth from the first step inside with oversized open-plan living and dining, warmed by a wood-fired heater. The heart of the home is a high-quality kitchen boasting an inviting breakfast bar, gleaming granite surfaces, a filtered water tap, and premium Fisher and Paykel appliances including twin ovens, an electric cooktop, and a dual-drawer dishwasher.

Step outside to an alfresco verandah terrace alongside an 11m long swimming pool, perfect for those long summer days. Elevated to impress over a verdant ridge line, an open-air terrace creates a genuine sense of occasion, complemented by a viewing platform highlighting a commanding easterly aspect sweeping over the valley below towards the dramatic beauty of the Dandenongs. This breathtaking arena for entertaining is a true game-changer!

Designed and crafted to accommodate every requirement of modern living, three of the palatial bedrooms are zoned to one wing of the home. The opulent main suite is graced with extensive built-in robes and a private ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a granite-topped vanity, and a heated towel rail. A principal bathroom boasts a bathtub, fully tiled walk-in shower, granite detail, and a separate WC.

The exciting addition of self-contained living quarters is highlighted by a chef-ready kitchen, an air-conditioned living and dining area, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. This entire area offers scope for short-term rental income, multi-generational potential, and would delight an older teenager with a private entrance from the verandah.

Take advantage of a versatile home office, a large laundry, extensive heating/cooling, substantial storage solutions, remote-controlled garaging/carporting for up to 6 cars, a 70,000 litre underground water tank, a sizeable dam, potential 4WD track, and a north/south tennis court in need of some TLC. Additional features include double-brick construction with vintage Hawthorn bricks, sleek Castlemaine slate flooring, exposed Oregon beams, and rich Cedar framing.

Tailor made for family engagement, this impressive home was thoughtfully constructed in the mid-seventies, and exemplifies all the elegance, character and stylistic flourishes of late mid-century modern design. Become the newest custodian of this timeless property!
