A Treehouse Perspective, A Village Lifestyle
**Access via Sassafras Lane | Limited parking**
Elevated among the treetops and just a short stroll from the heart of Sassafras village, this distinctive home offers a rare balance of nature, privacy and community.
Entry is via the upper level, where generous living and dining spaces unfold beneath expansive windows that frame ever-changing treetop views. The open-plan layout feels relaxed yet considered, anchored by a large kitchen designed for connection - complete with stone benchtops, quality Miele appliances and a much-loved sink window that brings a soft country feel to daily life. It's a space equally suited to family mornings or long, unhurried evenings with friends.
Downstairs, all three bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned away from the living areas, creating a peaceful retreat. The central bathroom invites quiet indulgence, with a clawfoot bath set against serene bush outlooks, while a separate toilet provides practical access from the main bedroom.
A wraparound deck draws you fully into the sights and sounds of the forest - birdsong at dawn, rustling leaves, and the occasional visit from wallabies or echidnas. Below, a sheltered entertaining area surrounded by ferns and Japanese maples offers an ideal setting for barbecues, firepit evenings or relaxed gatherings.
Adding further depth to the property is the original 1920s cottage, affectionately known as Tom's Shack. Beautifully refurbished, it now serves as a studio or home office, complete with its original fireplace - a character-filled space that opens up creative or work-from-home possibilities.
Set on approximately half an acre (2,268m²) of manageable, low-maintenance bushland, the home feels wonderfully private yet deeply connected. Known locally as "Sassy Lane," this close-knit pocket fosters a genuine sense of belonging - something increasingly rare and deeply valued.
With its proximity to Sassafras village, the home also presents strong appeal as a short-term accommodation opportunity, should buyers wish to explore that option.
This is a home shaped by its environment - calm, nurturing and quietly special - offering a lifestyle that feels both grounded and elevated in one of the Dandenong Ranges' most cherished communities.
