Secluded Hills Hideaway on an Acre - National Park Next Door, Outdoor Bath and Studio/Guest Appeal

Description

You can’t get much more exclusive than the last house at the end of a cul-de-sac adjacent to spectacular state forest. A true hideaway, this serenely nestled split-level home is situated in one of Ferny Creek’s most secluded locations and showcases stunning craftmanship and design atop an exquisite acre landscape. Offering retreat style living with lashings of light, bespoke timber accents, lofty raked ceilings and illuminating windows framing forever uninterrupted Dandenong Ranges views, it’s the perfect private escape for a family after a tree change lifestyle.
A grand open plan living/meals is sun-kissed via a Velux skylight and warmed by a hearty open fire. Well connected to the meals area you can effortlessly serve family dinners from the kitchen with breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances or host large scale family celebrations.
Spill out to the house-wide deck and enjoy captivating and calming vistas with your morning coffee, midday lunch or twilight wines with a platter.
On the upper level, a parent sanctuary with walk-in robe, stylish ensuite with rain shower and private balcony invites luxury and rejuvenation. Two additional bedrooms are housed here serviced by a skylit family bathroom.
Under the house is a flexible space depending on your lifestyle needs and can be utilised as a fourth bedroom, studio, home office, rumpus or teen retreat with internal entry via a chic barn door and access to the garage. A second separate entrance also makes it ideal as in-law/guest accommodation or an Airbnb. Plumbing is already in place with a dreamy outdoor bath and shower just around the corner filled by the rainwater tank and shaded by lush ferns.
Adding further allure are the magnificently terraced grounds framing the home that flow to the adjacent national park where you can picnic in seclusion or enjoy forest walks at your doorstep.
