8 Sunnyslopes Road, KALLISTA

Perched on Kallista’s sun-drenched north side and quietly tucked behind secure gates, this remarkable property sits on just under an acre (approx. 3804m²) of beautifully cleared land where privacy, light and birdsong define daily life. For appreciators of character homes - couples, young families or those drawn to the enduring charm of mid-century architecture - it’s a place that feels wonderfully liveable now, with exciting scope to restore or further enhance over time. The name feels fitting. From here, the landscape opens toward the Warburton Ranges while the neighbouring natural reserve spills gently into the property’s edge, wildlife occasionally wandering past as if the boundary were merely a suggestion.

This land has a story that reaches deep into the history of the Dandenong Ranges. Originally owned by Roger Gleghorn - the namesake of nearby Gleghorn Road - the property formed part of one of the region’s earliest settlements, once known as “Rogerville.” The existing home, built circa 1928 on the site of an old milking shed, has evolved over time while still holding onto the charm and character of its pioneering past.
