Perched quietly on the cusp of the state forest, tucked into a peaceful Ferny Creek cul-de-sac, this one-owner, double-brick residence feels like a private sanctuary floating above the world. Set on just under an acre (approx. 3,937 Sqm), it’s the kind of place where mornings arrive with mist drifting through the valley below, afternoons are filled with filtered sunlight and birdsong, and nights settle into a deep, restorative calm. Locals call it “an island in the sky”, and once you’re here, you’ll understand why.
Built by its current owners with intention and longevity in mind, the home balances solidity and soul. Stone accents and double-brick construction ground it firmly in the landscape, while a split-level design creates natural zones for togetherness and retreat. Sydney Blue Gum hardwood floors lead you into the central open-plan living and meals domain - a true heart-of-the-home space buzzing with social energy. The ergonomic work bench makes meal prep a breeze, the breakfast bar becomes a daily conversation hub, and thoughtful details like the copper sink and handles, reclaimed butcher’s block, integrated fridge and dishwasher speak to a kitchen designed for real life, not just display.
Cathedral raked ceilings with exposed timber create a striking sense of space and light, complemented by a large designer ceiling fan for year-round comfort. Slide down a level and the mood shifts - a generous second living zone wrapped in reclaimed exposed clinker brick, anchored by a crackling wood fire. This is where winter evenings linger, wine glasses are refilled, and doors slide open to a wraparound deck that feels suspended among the treetops.
The master suite sits privately on this lower level - a calm, restorative retreat with a beautifully finished ensuite featuring underfloor heating, magnifying mirror, and custom-designed dual walk-in robes where everything has its place. Upstairs, a dedicated children’s wing offers three robed bedrooms and a family bathroom finished in floor-to-ceiling tiles.
Step outside and the land unfolds in layers. Cottage gardens welcome you home, giving way to an enchanting silver birch forest, with meandering paths and hidden pockets inviting you to pause, sit, breathe. Wildlife is part of daily life here: Kookaburras announcing the morning, echidnas wandering past, wallabies at dusk. The soundtrack is birdsong, uninterrupted. A fabulous bonus is the powered garden studio gazing out across the valley - perfect as a creative space, home office, gym or quiet escape plus a mammoth six-car garage.
Despite the seclusion, the outside world is close at hand. Ferny Creek Primary, the iconic 1000 Steps, One Tree Hill, Upper Ferntree Gully Station, cafés, Maxi Foods and the creative pulse of the Hills are all moments away. This is a home that feeds the soul - quietly confident, deeply peaceful, and designed for a life well lived.
