A spectacularly unique, one-of-a-kind property very rarely presents itself to the marketplace. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful properties in the region, the aptly named, ‘Bluegum Cottage’ is a 1.2 acre (4,747sqm approx.) bush haven, styled to absolute perfection. Set amongst pristine, native bushland, with idyllic positioning adjacent to a conservation reserve providing supreme privacy. Enjoying a north-westerly aspect, allowing abundant natural light and glorious sunset displays, it’s hard to believe that Melbourne CBD is just 45 mins away.

A wonderful melding of comfortable, classic decor and quality, modern inclusions, brilliantly capturing the very essence of its surroundings. Using a rare mix of eco-friendly, passive solar design and environmentally sustainable building products, its character is matched by its function. Quality timbers and solid mud-brick walls keeping the home cool through summer and warm through winter - plus underfloor gas heating and an open fire warming the entire home effortlessly - a combination of rustic charm with a modern, yet timeless finish.

Comprising four generous bedrooms, two beautiful bathrooms and three toilets - the luxurious, ground level master includes a beautiful ensuite with a bath/spa as well as French doors opening to the wide, wraparound veranda. Three further bedrooms are located upstairs, as well as the family bathroom and upstairs living area with separate kitchenette and storeroom.

Open plan downstairs living and dining with a delightful window seat, and you will love working in the fully equipped, commercial-style kitchen with all Miele appliances, double wall ovens, a huge gas cooktop, dishwasher and separate pantry/ laundry.

Outdoors, plenty of undercover space to enjoy right around the home plus a large gazebo - the perfect setting for dining alfresco! An oversized double garage, raised veggie beds, established fruit trees and loads of space creating a veritable wonderland for the kids (and the bigger kids) to discover.

Just 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive to the local train station, as well as easy access to reputable schools, local shopping at nearby Tecoma and Upwey, and all amenities within minutes. Plenty to do, see and explore in and around the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. Whether you’re an avid nature lover, growing family or a city professional looking to escape the urban rush without being too far away, you will fall in love with this property.
