At the end of a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac, the forest doesn't just border this home - it moves in. Gardens melt into bushland, treetops fill every window, and the sweet chorus of birdsong has a way of making the outside world feel very far away. This is a home for those who want the forest as a daily companion, not just a view - where natural beauty is the star, both inside and out.
Engineered walnut floors, expansive glass and an abundance of light blur the line between indoors and out, while far-reaching southerly views - the glimmer of the distant bay, passing ships, and the sparkle of urban lights at dusk - give every room a sense of elevation and calm. At the centre of daily life, an open-plan living and dining domain is built for gathering: a gas log Coonara fire for warmth on cooler nights, and a provincial-inspired stone-topped kitchen with island and breakfast bar made for shared platters, easy conversation and a glass of something good while dinner simmers.
Multiple living zones and a completely separate lower-level arrangement mean there's also room to retreat, whether that's teenagers, adult children, extended family or guests carving out a space of their own.
Step out to the covered deck beneath festoon lights, and the experience continues outdoors: low-maintenance gardens give way to forest and descend towards Ferny Creek, the air is pristine, ancient tree ferns stand sentinel, and the resident lyrebirds, wallabies and wombats are never far away.

Lifestyle
Ferny Creek has a way of making everyday life feel a little slower and a lot more beautiful. Morning walks come with towering gums and birdsong, weekends can drift between forest trails, village cafés and nearby reserves, and evenings are best spent watching the light fade through the trees. Despite the sense of seclusion, Upper Ferntree Gully, local schools, shops and rail connections remain within easy reach, giving you the best of both worlds: peaceful hills living without losing touch with the conveniences below. Love it. Live it.
