Like something out of a storybook - or a European mountain village tucked into the folds of the forest - this hand-crafted Kallista hideaway is anything but ordinary. Set on just over an acre (approx. 4109m²) of lush, sun-dappled land and wrapped in a garden of verdant ferns, manicured hedges, camelias, and rhododendrons, it offers the kind of soul-stirring, hills-living experience creatives, nature-lovers and dreamers long for.
Designed to feel like a true alpine lodge, reclaimed jarrah and Oregon timbers (some over 100 years old from the wool stores of Fremantle) are the heroes of the design, used generously underfoot, overhead, and everywhere in between. The result? A double-storey blend of farmhouse warmth and industrial charm that’s steeped in character and rich in soul.
Step inside and you’ll find dual living areas - one lavish space anchored by a toasty wood fire - plus a separate lounge. At the helm, a central country-style kitchen showcases a rustic Rayburn wood oven, butcher block bench, a fireclay sink, electric oven/cooktop and dishwasher. Opposite, charming French doors flow off a meals zone to a sun-soaked deck…blurring the line between indoors and out. There's also a large laundry, powder room, and hydronic heating for those misty mountain mornings.
Upstairs, the mood is even dreamier. Under pitched timber-lined ceilings, a versatile retreat opens to three bedrooms including a chandelier-clad main with skylights, walk-in robe and private balcony. The two-way bathroom is a stunner, featuring a marble-topped vanity, deep-soak bath, rain shower, and even a bidet - because why not?
Beyond the home, find flat lawn nooks perfect for play, a leafy alfresco area just off the sunny front deck, and space for kids or creatives to run wild and free. And while it feels a million miles away, you're just 850m from the Tea Rooms, and beyond to the General Store, primary school and organic markets in the heart of Kallista, with Sherbrooke Forest and the villages of Belgrave, Monbulk and Emerald within easy reach.
A rare retreat that invites you to slow down, stretch out, and let life unfold with just the right amount of whimsy.
