Steeped in history and lovingly transformed, 'The Forrester's Hut' is far more than a home - it's a remarkable piece of Hills heritage reimagined for today's living. Set on a stunning, accessible 1,954m fully fenced block bordering Sherbrooke Forest and walking distance from Kallista Village, Cooks Corner and local primary schools. This one of a kind property blends rustic character, thoughtful craftsmanship and modern convenience in a way that's truly unique.
Originally built in the 1940s as a humble holiday shack, renovating the cottage has been a labour of love. Today, the result is an enchanting space filled with warmth, light and personality. Clerestory windows flood the open plan living spaces with natural sunlight while accentuating the soaring ceilings, creating an incredible sense of openness.
Every detail tells a story, from the live edge timber slab island bench to the repurposed beams salvaged from the original Barwon Heads timber bridge, recycled railway sleeper lintels, handcrafted roof trusses and the striking rustic steel feature walls, reclaimed from the property itself. Even the circular ensuite window has been creatively fashioned from a salvaged steel drum clamp. The result is a home that feels like it has grown from the forest.
The spacious kitchen has been designed with generous storage, expansive bench space and picturesque views across the rear gardens, while a cleverly integrated home office keeps work and family life effortlessly connected.
There are two generous bedrooms with the main bedroom featuring built in robes and a full ensuite, while the second bedroom enjoys dual windows framing the surrounding greenery.
Large glass sliding doors open to treehouse views into the forest and lead to the extended living space on the expansive undercover wraparound deck. A perfect setting for entertaining, or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the surrounding gardens and forest. Ducted heating and cooling combined with the ambience of the wood heater, ensure cosy comfort in every season.
Outside, the magic continues. A meandering pathway winds through a lush fernery and beautifully established gardens, creating a private sanctuary where children and pets can roam freely beneath the towering beauty of the mountain ash rainforest. The local wildlife and birds are daily visitors, being on the edge of the Dandenong Ranges National Park and Australia's most well known lyrebird habitat.
A double garage with workshop and extensive under house storage offer exceptional practicality, with exciting potential to further expand the home or create a studio/workshop (STCA).
Rich in history, crafted with creativity and designed for modern family living, 'The Forrester's Hut' offers an opportunity to own not simply a home, but a truly unique piece of Hills history - a place where every timber has a story and every day feels just a little more special.
