1425 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, OLINDA

Built in 1978 and held by the same family ever since, Marmont is the kind of property that could only have been created with time. Across approximately 5584 Sqm mere footsteps from the iconic Pig & Whistle Tavern, the cedar home and its extraordinary gardens have evolved side by side for almost five decades, shaped by one family’s care and a passionate gardener’s lifelong devotion to the landscape.

The house retains the warmth and integrity of its mid-century origins, with immaculate wood-panelled walls and timber lined ceilings, a beautiful glazed entrance and generous windows drawing the gardens into almost every room. At the centre, the kitchen and meals nook connects easily with the family room via an open servery, with a Coonara wood fire creating a welcoming place to gather. Gas cooking, electric oven, dishwasher and built-in microwave keep the kitchen practical, while doors open to a freshly oiled deck overlooking the gardens, an idyllic spot for the first brew of the day.
