18 Mountain Drive

Set within an exclusive Mooroolbark pocket adjoining the coveted Bickleigh Vale Estate, this home unfolds like a hidden garden retreat where sandstone underfoot, leafy outlooks and thoughtfully designed spaces create a life that feels both grounded and just a little indulgent. From the outset, Castlemaine rock accents and lush, layered gardens set the tone, while inside, sandstone floors guide you through to a kitchen that feels like the centrepiece of daily ritual and weekend hosting alike. Crowned by a spectacular skylight, this is a space that celebrates light, anchored by granite waterfall benches, a breakfast bar for casual connection, Bosch appliances including double ovens and induction cooktop, and a butler's pantry with direct shopper's entry for seamless practicality. The adjoining living and meals area gathers around a stone-framed open fireplace, offering warmth in every sense. A sunken family room adds a sense of occasion, with its LED-lit tray ceiling, bay window seat made for favourite chapters, and doors that swing wide to an all-season sandstone terrace complete with spa. A second alfresco zone on the opposite side creates options for entertaining or quiet retreat, depending on the mood of the day. The accommodation is beautifully zoned, with four bedrooms tucked privately along a quiet hallway. The main suite enjoys a walk-in robe, ensuite, and a charming bay window framing the garden like a living artwork. Both bathrooms include floor-to-ceiling tiles and rain showers, bringing a touch of everyday luxury. At the front, a versatile lounge or fifth bedroom with bespoke timber cabinetry sits alongside a dedicated home office, ideal for work-from-home ease or creative pursuits. Edna Walling inspired gardens unfold like a private parkland escape, where wide stretches of lush lawn are framed by character-rich Castlemaine stone and layers of established greenery that soften every edge. There's a sense of discovery here a lower sun deck made for lazy afternoons with a hammock gently swaying, and tucked-away garden nooks that invite you to pause, perch, and soak it all in. Whether it's kids claiming the lawn for weekend play, or quiet moments with a cuppa beneath the trees, this is a backyard that feels as good as it looks. Despite its wonderfully secluded feel, where birdsong and greenery create the illusion of being a million miles from anywhere, this picturesque pocket keeps everyday life effortlessly within reach. A short stroll connects you to local shops and schools, with Bushy Creek Linear Trail inviting morning walks and weekend wanders just moments away. Families will appreciate the close proximity to local primary schools, Billanook College & Edinburgh College, while the convenience of Mooroolbark Station, nearby shopping, cafés and restaurants ensures everything you need is close at hand.
