Description
Welcome to this magical property known as "Highwood", the pinnacle of 2 & a half acres of glorious natural landscape and English style gardens. Approaching the impressive gates you will be captivated by the unique Art Deco style garage while gently sloping gardens and meandering paths lead you to the front door.
The timeless architecture in the main residence has been kept to the most exacting standards.
Elegant features & fine finishes are apparent throughout with an impressive timber staircase, skylights & freshly renovated kitchen creating a peaceful and stately feel. Enjoy the formal sitting room with traditional open fire-place and bay window while French doors flow through to the expansive living area warmed by a slow combustion wood heater. Bolstered by a massive entertaining deck, BBQ area and terrace take in the amazing private forest views, completing this hills lifestyle.
The main floor living options continue with a formal dining room and separate self-contained home theatre, which could serve as a guest bedroom or teenagers retreat. The upper level comprises 4 king size bedrooms all with built in robes, 2 of which have their own en-suites.
Outdoors is a wonderland in itself, including a large variety of fruit trees (mulberry, apples & cherries to name a few) berry patches (including raspberry, strawberry & boysenberry) and a vista of color with mature Rhododendrons, Camellias and bulbs galore. A true botanical masterpiece! There is even access to the local Olinda Creek & bushland at the rear of the property.
This is a turn-key residence of the finest quality located only 60 minutes from Melbourne CBD, a short stroll to the local primary school and minutes from the Olinda, Montrose & Mount Evelyn townships.
