Mount Evelyn VIC 3796

Elevated high above the world with nothing but birdsong and treetops for company, this character-rich Mount Evelyn retreat feels like your own private Idaho - a serene escape where life slows the moment you reach the top of the driveway. The rear of just two, it’s completely secluded, with plenty of space to spread out, entertain, and exhale.

An open split-level design adds personality and a natural sense of flow. Upstairs, three robed bedrooms are anchored by a stylish two-way bathroom with stone topped vanity delivering ensuite ease to the master, while the light-filled laundry hides neatly behind a sliding barn door. Down below, the home opens into its social heart - a welcoming living and meals zone where a wood fire crackles beneath raked ceilings, warmth radiating through every inch of the space. The kitchen, finished with stainless-steel appliances, a 900mm gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and breakfast bar, makes cooking feel easy and elevated.

At the rear, spill out to an epic, all-seasons entertaining deck under a pitched roof - the kind of space that calls for long lunches, evening catchups and quiet moments with a coffee. The block is brimming with life and possibility - a garden that’s part produce patch, part playground. Think fruit trees (apricot, lime, plum, fig, mandarin and cherry), a firepit zone, chook house, veggie beds, cubby for the kids, and even an outdoor barrel sauna (negotiable) for those who like a little self-care between projects in the workshop shed. The gardens too bring solace and soul soothing moments as daily life is framed by a smoketree, red flowering gums, bottlebrush, maple ash and Chinese elm trees.
