Private, peaceful, and full of promise, this Montrose residence offers a lifestyle rarely found – approx. 5.55 acres of lush seclusion, alive with birdsong, yet only moments from the village energy of Montrose and Mount Evelyn. At the end of a long private driveway, beside the renowned Japanese Mountain Retreat, you’ll discover a double-storey brick home brimming with scope, space, and serenity.
This is a home that wears its original condition proudly, waiting for fresh imagination to breathe new life into its grand footprint. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a sprawling indoor pool set the stage for families of all generations to live, share, and spread out - grandparents included. For tradies, the combination of shedding, storage, and sweeping lawns means there’s ample room for tools, vehicles, and big ideas.
Arrive via a circular driveway where the double garage is complemented by extra shedding and drive-through access to the rear. Indoors, a flexible layout reveals a downstairs zone with self-contained accommodation: a bedroom with ensuite and kitchenette, plus laundry and garage access, ideal for multigenerational living, tenants, or Airbnb. And then there’s the showstopper - a cavernous indoor, inground pool that, once revived, promises to be the ultimate talking point.
Upstairs, family living unfolds with four bedrooms, including a main with ensuite and walk-in robe. A generous timber kitchen with gas cooking, electric oven, dishwasher, and abundant bench space sits opposite a meals zone, whilst a spacious living area is warmed by a Heat Charm wood fire. Doors spill out to a covered balcony where the property’s best assets - the lawns, the bushland backdrop, and the visiting birdlife - become part of your daily rhythm.
Whether you’re dreaming of a modern makeover, space for the whole family, or a tradie’s paradise, this secluded sanctuary is a rare foothills offering - where nature and potential meet in perfect harmony.
