50B Old Forest Road

Privately poised at the end of a long driveway, this foothills retreat unfolds across a beautifully curated 1897m² (approx.), where the noise of the outside world quickly gives way to birdsong, fresh air, and a rare sense of calm. Elevated to embrace a prized northerly aspect, the setting captures far-reaching views that shift effortlessly throughout the daysoft misty mornings, golden afternoon light, and the distant twinkle of city lights after sunset. Inside, the home flows with an easy sense of connection. Open plan living and dining form the social heart, anchored by a warm timber kitchen illuminated by an overhead skylight. Miele appliances, thoughtful storage, and the natural texture of bamboo flooring create a space that feels both inviting and highly functional. From here, the living zones spill naturally outdoors to a paved alfresco with café blinds, perfectly positioned to soak in the outlook year-round. Complementing it, a covered entertainer's deck extends the experience further, creating the ideal setting for slow morning coffees, lively gatherings with friends, or evenings where the view quietly does all the talking. Accommodation is cleverly zoned. Two bedrooms and a storage room/study nook sit within one wing, serviced by a combined bathroom and laundry, while the main bedroom is set apart as its own retreat. Framed by bifold windows and bespoke swing doors, it captures the outlook beautifully, complete with walk-in robe, fully tiled ensuite with stone topped vanity and two toilets for a sense of quiet separation. The grounds are where this property truly distinguishes itself. Extensive mudstone landscaping has already done the heavy lifting, sculpting flat, usable spaces across the block that balance beauty with functionality. There's room to entertain, let the kids roam, gather around the firepit, or simply spread out and enjoy the space, while a lower terrace adds yet another layer of flexibility. Native plantings attract a steady parade of wildlife, from kookaburras and rosellas to the occasional wandering echidna, creating a gentle connection to the surrounding foothills landscape. A large garage with space for multiple vehicles and an impressive workshop or "man cave" with concrete floor, plumbing connections, built-in storage and bespoke timber feature wall adds further flexibility, while a charming hut (with power and insulation) at the top of the block offers a peaceful work-from-home escape with a view. Abundant off-street parking, a trailer space, a concrete driveway with lockable gates, solar panels, rainwater tank, ducted heating, reverse cycle split systems, dimmer lights, and partially double-glazed windows add further allure. Moments from The Basin village, schools, transport and the Dandenong Ranges, this is a home that balances seclusion with connectionquietly offering more than expected.
