There are homes that simply exist, and then there are those that invite you to slow down, breathe deeper and notice the small joys. This beautifully renovated hills residence sits proudly on over three-quarters of an acre (approx. 3623m²), capturing some of the most breathtaking outlooks in the Dandenong Ranges while wrapping daily life in comfort, light and connection to nature.
Reimagined with a strong focus on social living, the open plan kitchen, meals and living domain hums with warmth. An exquisitely crafted, library-style wall of bespoke in-set shelving creates a striking focal point, perfect for displaying books, collected pieces or treasured photographs, while the wood fire flickers away on cooler evenings. The entertainer’s kitchen is the real conversation starter. Stone benches, a designer tiled splashback that melds with the landscape, generous island breakfast bar and a full suite of Miele appliances make cooking feel less like a task and more like an event. A thoughtfully appointed butler’s pantry, complete with a dedicated coffee and breakfast station, is complemented by a separate laundry offering generous storage throughout.
The kitchen gazes across an atrium-style sunroom where glass frames greenery and distant ranges in cinematic fashion. Beyond sits a magnificent Boston Ivy-clad gazebo, a romantic centrepiece that has already hosted two weddings. It is easy to see why. Add a paved alfresco zone, terrace and covered deck, and outdoor living becomes part of the everyday rhythm.
Step outside beneath the golden canopy of the mature Elm tree and those dreamlike valley views stretch toward Monbulk, Gembrook and The Patch. On some mornings you will quite literally find yourself above the clouds, watching them roll beneath you as the day begins, with front row seats to truly breathtaking sunrises. Occasionally winter adds a dusting of snow, transforming the landscape into a quiet wonderland.
Inside, the split-level design keeps living zones distinct from the sleeping quarters. The main suite enjoys its own peaceful positioning with an elegantly appointed ensuite and private courtyard. Two upper-level bedrooms feature plantation shutters and spectacular vistas, while a fourth bedroom or home office welcomes flexibility. A stunning family bathroom features a relaxing bath and refined gold accents, with both bathrooms showcasing luxe rain showers, quality floor to ceiling tiling and stylish finishes.
Gardens are part sanctuary, part theatre. Japanese maples and silver birches create seasonal drama, while a diverse tapestry of plantings fills the garden with vibrant colour throughout the year. A whimsical pond fairy garden adds charm, the flat lawn is perfect for child’s play, and birdlife is abundant - king parrots, rosellas, yellowtails and kookaburras providing a lively natural soundtrack.
With a double garage, plentiful off-street parking, ducted heating, split system comfort and proximity to Olinda Village, schools, parks and iconic gardens, this is hills living that balances beauty, practicality and everyday magic.
