“FERNACRES” - Come for the Garden, Stay for the Views

Set across approximately 3.18 acres in the cool-climate beauty of Kalorama, this former nursery site offers something increasingly rare so close to urban life: genuine usable acreage, extraordinary privacy and the freedom to wander your own landscape, yet with villages, schools and everyday conveniences still within easy reach. Over time, the grounds have been shaped into a wonderfully eclectic garden sanctuary, where pathways meander, levels unfold and something seems to be flowering, unfurling or changing colour in every direction. Little birds flit through the foliage, calling from branch to branch as you wander, while from quiet corners beneath tree ferns to open outlooks where Silvan Dam glistens in the distance, there is a sense of discovery here that never really runs out.
Two entrances from Barbers Road create a circular driveway around the home, with flat parking at the front and tiered gardens cascading down towards lawn, productive spaces and future projects. A magnificent cedar and grand Teddy Bear magnolia shade the house, while silver birches, rhododendrons, camellias, salvias, clivias, hydrangeas, hellebores, Japanese maples and Daphne create layers of colour and texture through the seasons. In spring, bulbs erupt beneath the canopy; along the driveway, clivias blaze orange; and somewhere in the mix, boronia perfumes the air.
The productive side is equally appealing, with a netted vegetable garden, space for chooks, the beginnings of a chicken house, a garden arbor and a partially completed powered shed. Around 30,000 litres of tank water helps support the home and grounds, while an oversized single garage or workshop adds practical storage.
The two-bedroom circa 1940s home is very much a work in progress, but the bones, outlook and opportunity are compelling. The front sunroom, with timber floors, looks towards Silvan Dam and connects with a simple kitchen and meals area featuring gas cooking. At the rear, a second living space is warmed by a built-in wood fire.
A beautifully renovated bathroom introduces contemporary polish, while the main bedroom includes a partially completed ensuite with plumbing in place. French doors open the possibility of reinstating or rebuilding the deck, and dual-aspect windows make the most of the views.
Alternatively, use the home as a studio or cottage and build your dream home elsewhere on the block (STCA).
Outside, a paved patio is already perfectly placed for quiet moments in the sun and barbecues with the dam shimmering beyond.
There is still wildness at the rear of the block, and plenty left to shape, but much of the hardest work has already been done. Wombats wander through, birdsong fills the air and the garden feels alive in a way that only the hills can manage. Here, you do not need to leave home to take a walk in nature. You simply choose a path and see where the garden takes you.
Kalorama’s friendly community and proximity to cafés, trails and schools ensure the best of both worlds: your own forest retreat and a vibrant hills lifestyle. Enjoy being close to all the delights of the Dandenong Ranges, Kalorama Park, Destiny Point Café, Silvan Mountain Bike Park, the local post office, Mt Dandenong Primary School and Pre-School, while remaining well connected to the conveniences of Montrose, Mount Evelyn and Monbulk.
