Description: There's a particular kind of calm that comes from knowing you're close to everything, yet wonderfully removed from it all. Set on a sprawling almost three-quarter acre (approx. 2,762m²) rich with native plantings, local rock formations and a chorus of birdlife, this Montrose home offers privacy, scale and flexibility in a setting that feels more hideaway than suburban, yet sits just a short stroll from village life. Designed for real family living across every age and stage, the home unfolds across two generous levels with an impressive five living zones. At its heart, an expansive open plan living and meals domain gathers daily life with ease. The kitchen anchors the space with a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and step-in pantry, while timber-built cabinetry in the living area adds warmth and practicality. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw the landscape in, bathing the interior in natural light and seasonal views. For cosy evenings, a separately zoned fireside room with a Coonara wood heater becomes the winter favourite, with an adjoining sitting room or TV zone ready for quiet nights or movie marathons. Downstairs, flexibility reigns supreme: a vast rumpus room with open fireplace, a games room complete with wet bar, plus a laundry with a third shower and toilet. This level lends itself beautifully to multigenerational living, teenage retreats or hosting extended family with comfort and independence. Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned, with four bedrooms branching off a hallway alongside the family bathroom that comes complete with a traditional sauna built-in, plus a study at the entrance that could easily serve as a fifth bedroom. The master suite is a true haven, featuring a spa ensuite and dual walk-in robes, one for each half of the household harmony. Outdoors is where the property truly stretches its wings. Three separate decks capture morning and afternoon sun, including one off the fire room and another from the family living zone. The grounds are a joy: sweeping lawns framed by rock retaining walls, veggie beds brimming with tomatoes, and a mini orchard offering varieties such as citrus, fig, persimmon, apple and nectarine. In winter, when the trees thin, the views open wide across the hills, with sunsets filtering through the branches thanks to the prized north-to-rear orientation. Practicality hasn't been forgotten. There are three water tanks, two access points, vast under-house storage with roller-door access for bikes or mowers, a 6m x 3m garden shed, and exceptional parking. The main driveway leads to a double carport, with drive-through access to a huge four-car garage ideal for trailers, jet skis, camper vans and all the gear that comes with an active life. All of this, wrapped in a peaceful natural setting, yet moments from cafés, shops and schools in Montrose. It's a home with sanctuary at its core and exciting scope to update and personalise over time, offering space, serenity and endless possibility.
