11 Forest Road, Belgrave, Vic 3160

Tucked away at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, this western red cedar sanctuary feels like your own private retreat, a world away from the hustle, yet just moments to Belgrave essentials. Nestled on almost 3/4 acre of sun-soaked grounds, it offers the perfect fusion of tranquillity, natural beauty, and convenience. Imagine the lifestyle: serene morning coffee rituals with birdsong, afternoons exploring nearby forest trails, and vibrant evenings watching the sun transform the skies, enjoying Belgrave’s buzzing eateries or catching a movie - all mere minutes from your door.
Inside, the charm unfolds over three levels, blending rustic timbers and modern comforts. On the ground floor, an open plan living/meals zone wraps you in the cosy embrace of a Nectre wood fire, filling the air with its unmistakable, soothing aroma. The modern kitchen, complete with a timber-topped breakfast bar for quick bites or a platter with friends, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher drawers, new induction cooktop, and electric oven, create a culinary hub. A spacious bedroom on this level with deck access and a private retreat/home office plus a chic bathroom nearby offers the perfect layout for teens or a peaceful master suite.

Ascend to the upper level, where two loft-style bedrooms bask under timber-accented peaks, each with private balconies to savour the stunning surrounds. A second family bathroom and walk-in robe in one bedroom enhance the versatility. Downstairs, a lavish second living space is an impressive surprise, warmed by a gas log fire and opening to a lower deck – it’s a haven for movie nights, a quiet escape, or a place for the kids to gather with friends.

A wraparound all-season deck spills seamlessly from the main level and will quickly become your go-to for sunsets, stargazing, and everything in between. Insulated for year-round comfort, this extension of your living space is a front row seat to the magic of the surrounding landscape. The sprawling grounds invite endless playtime, where children can explore and let their imaginations run wild in the safety of open space, while adults soak up the serenity of the great outdoors. For those dreaming of self-sufficiency, the chicken coop awaits - complete with feathered friends if you fancy! Teeming with birdlife and the iconic sounds of Puffing Billy as it makes its way through the hills, it’s a sanctuary where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the hills.

So much thought and care have gone into making this home not only beautiful but also exceptionally functional and accessible. A wide sealed driveway welcomes you with ease, leading to extensive retaining walls and thoughtfully landscaped grounds that enhance both form and function. At the base of the drive, you'll find ample flat off-street parking - perfect for accommodating multiple vehicles, a trailer, or even a boat. Flat, paved areas near the entrance, are also ideal for setting up a basketball hoop or trampoline.
