Olinda VIC 3788

A unique earth sheltered home of enduring quality set on one level acre of exquisite gardens is offered for the first time just 5 minute's walk from the charming township of Olinda.
This is a must inspect property of rare character. The architect designed home has been stunningly realised in Japanese Cedar, Blackwood, Oregon and Mountain Ash, much of it sourced from the house site itself and milled to the specific requirements of the build. The result is a north facing home that incorporates modern principles of passive solar design, but utilises natural materials to create a timeless and tasteful ambience. Floor to ceiling windows look out onto what feels like a private botanic garden boasting tall exotic specimen trees, plantings designed for year round interest and beautifully landscaped ponds and watercourses. Birdlife abounds. For adults it is a property offering serenity and privacy while being in walking proximity to shops, restaurants and some of the most spectacular walking tracks in the Dandenongs. For children it is an adventure playground while only a short walk to school and local recreation facilities.The floorplan features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a home office, all on a completely level floorplate (no stairs). There is a highly functional kitchen with generous pantry and ample indoor and outdoor entertaining space. The 2 car garage has a remotely operated door and provides internal entry to the home. The property is fully fenced and has a further 2 undercover parking spaces. There is even a vegetable garden on the roof! This is an opportunity that may not come again this lifetime.
