Last Listing description (April 2025)
Tucked away in the storybook seclusion of Cards Lane, “Willow Cottage” is rich in character yet seamlessly attuned to modern living. This private sanctuary sits alongside an acre of crown land, delivering a life immersed in nature with nothing but birdsong and the rustle of leaves to keep you company. And yet, with Olinda and Mount Dandenong villages just a short stroll away, a morning coffee or a leisurely brunch is always within reach. This is your invitation to step into a life of pure hills enchantment, where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.
Step inside to find a space that feels like a warm embrace. Whitewashed vaulted ceilings with skylights soar above the lavish open plan living and meals domain, where a flickering wood fire invites cosy nights in. Gleaming hardwood floors guide you towards the all-season deck - a front-row seat to nature’s theatre, where dawn mist weaves through the forest outlook and golden afternoon light filters through the ferns.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning provincial-style kitchen, where stone benchtops, a striking 900mm Falcon cooker, a dishwasher, and a social island with bench seating create the perfect stage for culinary creativity. And with fresh paint inside and out, everything feels crisp, inviting, and ready for its next chapter.
Four restful bedrooms offer peaceful leafy outlooks, including a main retreat with a walk-in robe, a generous ensuite with stone-topped vanity, and French doors that spill onto the deck - a perfect spot for lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cuppa. The beautifully renovated family bathroom is pure indulgence, complete with a freestanding claw foot bath and a vintage chandelier adding a touch of old-world glamour. There’s even a separate sitting room/home office nook, ensuring both productivity and relaxation have their place.
Beyond the interiors, the fully fenced grounds are a wonderland for children (or the young at heart), with 2 fire pit zones beckoning the toasting of marshmallows, and a front porch made for slow sips and quiet contemplation.
A gated entry, double garage, double carport, extensive under-house storage, and year-round comfort via ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, and ceiling fans round out the practical luxuries.
With a history as rich as its surroundings, Cards Lane was once home to world-renowned author and crochet designer Mary Cards, who chose this location for its “surpassing beauty on the edge of a forest of giant eucalyptus trees.” That same forest now shelters a chorus of kookaburras and a lush landscape of tree ferns and native flora.
Perfectly positioned between two of the hills’ most vibrant villages, this home delivers an unparalleled lifestyle where the best of nature, history, and modern convenience converge.
