“The Ridge” – An Elevated Mount Dandenong Retreat
Gracefully perched at the summit of Mount Dandenong, “The Ridge” is a home of rare beauty, where light, landscape and lifestyle converge in perfect harmony. Framed by breathtaking views across the Yarra Valley and embraced by approximately 3,197 Sqm ( 3/4 acre) of private gardens, this exceptional residence offers an immersive connection to nature with the comfort and space required for refined family living.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of seclusion and serenity is unmistakable. Every window captures a different tableau — misty mornings over the valley, sun-drenched garden rooms by day and moonlit treetops by night — creating a home that feels alive with its environment.
At its core, expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen zones form the heart of the home, designed to bring people together while always remaining connected to the breathtaking outlook beyond. A feature Coonara wood fire anchors the living space, offering warmth and ambience through cooler months, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen caters beautifully to those who love to entertain. Appointed with a 900mm Lofra freestanding oven, Bosch dishwasher, generous custom cabinetry and dual pantries, it’s a space where everyday cooking and festive gatherings flow with ease.
Opening directly onto a sun-drenched, vine-framed terrace, the living areas extend outdoors for seamless entertaining. Whether hosting long lunches in the gazebo, reading in a hammock with birdsong overhead, or enjoying a glass of wine as resident peacocks wander through the gardens, life here unfolds at a gentler pace.
The home’s intelligent layout features two separate accommodation wings, offering privacy and flexibility for families of all stages. The master suite is a peaceful retreat wrapped in glass and greenery, complete with a walk-through robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a spa bath and twin vanities. Further accommodation includes oversized bedrooms, a versatile rumpus/guest suite with private entrance and powder room, and a dedicated home office with independent access — ideal for business or creative pursuits.
Outside, the gardens are nothing short of enchanting. Meandering pathways lead through layered plantings, open lawns and private sanctuaries beneath established trees. Children are free to explore, create adventures and lose themselves in nature, while adults enjoy spaces designed for both gathering and stillness. A glasshouse for growing your own produce, fruit trees for seasonal harvests, and firepit evenings beside the pot-belly stove further enhance the lifestyle on offer.
Every modern convenience has been thoughtfully included, ensuring life at The Ridge is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Yet despite its peaceful seclusion, you’re only moments from local cafés, scenic lookouts, Silvan Dam, public transport and the Trigg Track right at your back gate — offering direct access to forest walks and the natural beauty of the Dandenong Ranges. With Melbourne CBD within commuting distance, this is elevated living in every sense of the word.
“The Ridge” is more than a home — it is a private sanctuary, a place of gathering, and a lifestyle defined by nature, elegance and tranquility.
