Within a prized enclave of one-acre garden blocks, this contemporary four bedroom residence with separate guesthouse delivers a rare lifestyle of tranquility, privacy and refined connection to nature. Designed to embrace sweeping garden vistas, the home is immersed in a naturalistic landscape by renowned Chelsea Flower Show award-winner Phillip Johnson, creating a private sanctuary for inspired entertaining and relaxed family living.
Conceived to be at one with its gorgeous bushland surrounds, the home’s versatile layout frames garden views at every turn. A relaxed sitting room with gas log fire offers a cosy retreat, while sliding doors from the dining and meals areas open to a courtyard garden centred on a tranquil water feature flowing to a larger pond with waterfall. To the rear, a stone-paved terrace, covered for year-round enjoyment, offers yet another vantage point, while the casual living zone enjoys outlook to a second pond with feature waterfall — a stunning focal point blurring the boundary between house and garden.
Described as “another world,” the naturalistic setting lives up to its name. Birdlife and frogs are regular visitors, making use of the water features and enriching the home’s unique atmosphere. At the heart, the well-appointed kitchen is designed around the efficient work triangle, fitted with premium Gaggenau cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher, walk-in pantry and island bench overlooking the meals area. Of course, it too enjoys enchanting garden views.
Accommodation is equally inspiring. The master suite greets each day with birdsong and lush outlook picture window outlook, complemented by a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms are served by a spa bathroom with double vanity, alongside a powder room and fully fitted laundry. A light-filled study, ideal as a nursery, extends the flexibility, while the hallway and sitting room showcase glimpses of a striking glass sculpture set among flowing plantings.
Adding further versatility, a separate two-room guesthouse with kitchenette and bathroom is ideal for independent living, multi-generational families, or working from home. Outdoors, Phillip Johnson’s signature artistry shines with waterlily filled water features, dry creek beds and meandering pathways. Native plants including trees, Japanese maples, silver birches and citrus trees filtering views to the Dandenong Ranges.
Practical features enhance the lifestyle, including hydronic floor heating, ceiling fans, split systems in the guesthouse, two garden sheds, secure storage shed and double carport. All this is perfectly located within easy reach of Mooroolbark train station, Montrose and Kilsyth town centres, schools, childcare parkland and Brushy Creek trail.
