Overview

Rare 3-Acre Private Family Retreat with Self-Contained Unit & Future Subdivision Potential

Serenity, space and seclusion await at this wonderfully private family retreat set on approximately three acres (12,041 m²). Everything else fades into the background as you immerse yourself in the idyllic natural surrounds, complete with a picturesque bridge over a waterway that meanders toward Mullum Mullum Creek. Botanic landscapes and tree-top valley views create a mesmerising backdrop, while the solar-heated pool, separate party spa and expansive decking flowing to multiple open and covered alfresco areas make it perfect for effortless entertaining and summer enjoyment. Inside, exposed timber ceilings crown inviting living zones filled with warmth and character. Fireside lounges, a spacious living and dining room with slow combustion fire, and a stunning stone kitchen featuring a large island bench and premium Falcon stainless steel oven connect seamlessly via bi-fold doors to the show-stopping alfresco. A nearby rumpus room with fireplace and wet bar adds further flexibility for year-round gatherings. Ideal for multigenerational living, the home offers five bedrooms, three stylishly renovated bathrooms and a dedicated study. A quiet children’s wing includes its own retreat, while the fully self-contained separate unit features private entry, carport, full-sized kitchen, double bedroom, ensuite and living/dining space — perfect for extended family, ageing parents, adult children, guests or as a potential income stream. The master suite is a true haven with a vogue dual vanity ensuite and a serene retreat featuring a free-standing tub beneath a glass roof that frames leafy, light-filled views. Comfort and convenience are assured with two-zone hydronic heating, multiple split-system air conditioners, 36 solar panels, three-phase power, NBN fibre to the premises, ducted vacuum and a large utility/mud room. Auto gates open to a double auto garage, complemented by a four-car garage/workshop and extensive off-street parking for up to eight cars. Fenced paddocks and a chook pen complete this outstanding lifestyle opportunity. Additional upside includes strong future subdivision potential (subject to Manningham Council approval), appealing to buyers seeking long-term land value. Enjoy walking distance to Whitefriars College and close proximity to Carey Grammar, Donvale Christian College, Tunstall Square, The Pines Shopping Centre, the Eastern Freeway and Eastlink — the perfect balance of seclusion, luxury and convenience.
