Hidden In-Town Sanctuary on 1091sqm Backing Nature Reserve

Tucked away on 1,091sqm, this character-filled home reveals very little at first glance, then opens into something far more substantial and distinctly different. Warm, earthy, and inviting, a home with soul.

Backing Kooloonbung Nature Reserve, the outlook softens into established greenery with the sound of birdsong and the occasional koala, in the trees beyond. Properties with this level of space and privacy so close to town are exceptionally rare .

The home itself avoids uniformity, its individuality, paired with the opportunity to refine further, will resonate with those who value something personal over something perfect.

Timber plank floors extend through the main living zones and bedrooms, while exposed beams trace raked ceilings above. A sunken lounge room is centred around a magnificent open fireplace framed in natural stone.

The kitchen is a standout, featuring deep navy cabinetry, brushed brass accents and a Falcon Deluxe double oven arranged around a broad stone island beneath a designer pendant. High-set wraparound windows draw in greenery and light.

A louvred roof sunroom with built-in BBQ connects the main living area to a private main suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, oriented to capture outlook, with scope to create a fully self-contained retreat for extended family.

On the opposite side a generous 3-bedroom wing unfolds, including a guest suite with its own ensuite. A family bathroom with spa bath services the remaining bedrooms. An oversized saltwater pool sits privately at the front, framed by timber decking, stonework, and a pavilion, with a hidden putting green tucked quietly within the garden.

At the rear, a full-length verandah takes in a view of the lush lawn and bushland backdrop. A paved terrace with pizza oven sets the tone for relaxed, open-air entertaining. Fruit trees, 3 x water tanks and solar panels support a more self-sufficient way of living, with a fruiting dragon vine adding colour and intrigue.

Extensive parking and storage includes triple garaging, a double carport and paved utility space. Positioned just minutes from the CBD, waterfront, schools, medical facilities, and Growers Market, with a walking trail at the rear providing direct connection into town.

For those who treasure privacy and are drawn to nature and eco-friendly living, this is a home you can make entirely your own. Rare in both setting and opportunity, make sure you step in early to avoid missing out.
