Where country living, natural beauty and everyday convenience come together.

Rarely does a property of this size, character and lifestyle appeal become available in such a sought-after location.

Nestled at the gateway to the Dandenong Ranges, this remarkable 11.3-acre estate offers established gardens, rolling pastures, natural surrounds and the nostalgic sound of Puffing Billy’s whistle drifting through the countryside.

Enter through the powered security gate and follow the bitumen driveway past the spring-fed dam to discover an elegant brick residence framed by beautiful gardens. Distinctive curved windows and architectural detailing create a home of timeless character.

A HOME FULL OF CHARACTER AND COMFORT

Inside, generous proportions meet warmth. Jarrah floors, decorative cornices and a grand entrance introduce the formal lounge and dining room, where a large bay window frames the greenery and nature conservation reserve outlook. Multiple living areas offer space to gather or retreat, while the kitchen and family areas connect to the expansive rear entertaining deck.

The luxurious main bedroom features a walk-in robe and contemporary ensuite, while three further bedrooms provide spacious accommodation. Overlooking a native bush garden, the large fourth bedroom is equally suited to a substantial home office or guest retreat.

Two wood heaters add winter ambience, complemented by reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning, evaporative cooling, a heat-transfer system servicing the main and fourth bedrooms, and ceiling fans in all bedrooms. Heated towel rails, carpeted bedrooms, elegant drapery, security cameras and wireless NBN add comfort and practicality.

The large covered rear deck is ideal for entertaining, alfresco dining or unwinding with views across the paddocks and adjoining conservation reserve. A generous rear yard, easy-care gardens, native plantings and fruit trees bring colour throughout the seasons.

NATURE AT YOUR DOORSTEP

Backing onto Baulk William Conservation Reserve, the property enjoys a beautiful outlook across surrounding bushland. Native flora, birdlife and visiting wildlife enhance the sense of peace and connection to nature.

Wander through your own private parkland, enjoy the natural surroundings or gather around the fire pit beneath a canopy of stars.

SPACE FOR EVERY PASSION

The acreage offers versatility for families, gardeners, hobbyists, outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of open space.

Equestrian facilities include a riding arena, fenced horse paddocks, horse shelter, horse wash and tie-up area, providing a foundation for keeping horses at home.

Extensive shedding and storage includes a hay shed, float shed, tractor shed, workshop with hot and cold water, three-car garage and extra-tall boat/caravan shed, complemented by a concrete pad in front of the sheds.
