654 Basin-Olinda Road, Olinda, VIC, 3788 - More Details
A Private Mountain Sanctuary in the Heart of Olinda
Ideally suited for true mountain living, this unique and character filled residence offers privacy, space and an exceptional lifestyle surrounded by nature. Set in a peaceful pocket with State Forest directly opposite and only two quiet neighbours, this is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges while remaining connected to village life.
Designed to blend harmoniously into its natural surroundings, the home showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, warm timber tones and expansive full length balconies across both levels. Two oversized bedrooms plus a third generous bedroom are complemented by one bathroom including a powder room, multiple living zones, a lounge, dining area, family retreat and a study nook.
The mezzanine style main bedroom enjoys direct balcony access, a walk in robe and concealed lockable storage. Two of the bedrooms are extra large in scale, offering flexibility for families or guests.
Comfort is assured year round with a wood combustion heater, gas ducted heating with a recently installed circuit board, split system air conditioning in one bedroom and a circulation fan to efficiently move warm air between levels. A supply of seasoned wood is included to last through winter.
Outdoors, the property truly shines. Two full width balconies, a free standing gazebo and deck create exceptional entertaining spaces overlooking established gardens and a mini orchard featuring Meyer lemons, Eureka lemons, Tahitian limes, Japanese seedless mandarins, blueberries and a cherry tree. Wildlife including wombats, echidnas and lyrebirds are frequent visitors.
Sustainability and practicality are key highlights. The home runs on tank water to avoid water rates, with a private water main as back up. An STP sewerage treatment plant irrigates garden beds, and the house has low overall power consumption. The meter box is pre-wired for generator connection, and a 3.5kW generator is available by negotiation.
Parking is abundant with three undercover carports, additional off street parking for multiple vehicles, plus a lock up shed and garden shed. The driveway entry is scheduled for replacement within the sale.
Recently painted with premium Intergrain DWD protective coating and thoughtfully cleared around the home for safety, the property offers peace of mind alongside quality construction overseen by a builder.
All of this is within walking distance to both Olinda Village and Mount Dandenong shops, cafes and restaurants. Public transport is nearby, and you are moments to walking trails, Olinda Botanic Gardens, Sassafras, Kallista, Kalorama, Sherbrooke and only 15 minutes to Belgrave and Puffing Billy. Just 46km from the CBD, yet a world away in lifestyle.
This is mountain living at its most authentic.
