Give me a home amongst the gum trees- especially when those gum trees are part of a lovely, borrowed landscape and not your problem! This expansive landscape multiplier is actually the grounds of the Maroondah Reservoir Park administered by Parks Victoria ensuring the picturesque and well-maintained outlook that this property enjoys will be well protected into the future, with the assistance of the dedicated Friends of Maroondah Dam Volunteer group.
Set precisely on the perimeter boundary of the Maroondah Dam Reservoir Park, this character home is perfectly immersed into the surrounding environment. A covered deck runs the length of the home and welcomes you in and is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the birdlife fly past. With a wonderful indoor - outdoor aspect this home has a serene feel, at the end of a country lane, but close enough to pop into town for picnic supplies, as well as schools and other life essentials.
With three bedrooms, master with ensuite, it also has an additional annex with a lounge, bedroom and bathroom, perfect for an older child or relative seeking some independence. This brings in total, the number of bedrooms to four, served by three bathrooms.
The master bedroom is north facing, its generous proportions enjoy flooding parkland vistas and are light filled. With its large robe, equally impressive ensuite and its balcony overlooking the park it redefines the phrase Masters Retreat.
The second bedroom is also generous, while the third bedroom currently used as a study, as it is also the access to the independent living space. Alternatively, the door to the additional accommodation could easily be blocked off, creating a definitive third bedroom.
The fourth bedroom space has separate external access front and rear, its own bathroom and room for a sitting area. A great space to host a home business, older child or perhaps earn some extra income by hosting an Air B & B.
The large open plan family, dining and kitchen area is made cosy on winter days with the wood heater, while the whole home has both ducted heating and evaporative cooling. Outdoor eating areas are found on either side of the kitchen area, while there is plenty of space for an extra-large dining table adjacent. With plenty of storage space, and a large island bench, quality appliances, this is an easy space to be in.
Located on the outskirts of Healesville, imagine being able to wake up and walk outside in nature with your neighbours to the north; the wildlife and birdlife that find sanctuary within the parklands. No excuses not to pull on your shoes and go for a walk! Comments from those who have loved living here reflect how peaceful it is, and how amazing it is to have direct access to the park spaces.

Maroondah Reservoir Park
Picnic in the park amongst the old eucalypt stands or the exotic trees and play in the open grass areas. The park features six rotundas, one shelter, six barbecues (gas and electric) as well as picnic tables scattered around the gardens, perfect for visitors to barbecue or just sit and enjoy the scenery. If you're looking for a quieter spot, head for the area near the Watt's River Rotunda in Hendersons Picnic Area.
There are a number of easy and moderate walks around the park. Take a short walk through the forest on the Maroondah Forest Track. If you would like a longer walk you can then follow the Henderson's Hill Track up the slope for another 1.4km. From here you can choose to extend your walk to Donnellys Weir in Yarra Ranges National Park. More information available at.........
