5 Holden Road, Olinda, Vic 3788

Escape to architectural brilliance in this eco-friendly haven, where clean lines and high ceilings meet the beauty of nature on a sprawling 8.75 acres (approx.). Striking in design and built with energy-efficient principles, this solid steel construction with double-glazed windows invites nature inside with walls of glass and clerestory windows, while providing the ultimate in modern comfort. This home is a masterpiece of thoughtful design, bringing serenity and convenience together in one unforgettable lifestyle experience.

Nestled within a private fern forest, the home sits in harmony with its native surroundings, and with no neighbours in sight, you’ll be serenaded by birdsong while still enjoying the convenience of nearby Olinda, Kallista, Monbulk, schools, and transport links in Belgrave.

Inside, an open plan living/meals area showcases stunning spotted gum flooring and creates a cosy hub, while the modern kitchen showcases stunning and rare Sassafras timber cabinetry, a Granite benchtop, Ilve 900mm cooker, Miele cooktop and a walk-in pantry.  A double-sided fireplace connects this zone to a lounge room perfect for family downtime with spectacular glass sliding doors that spill to an east facing deck.  Here you can watch the sunrise with a hot cuppa and enjoy a magical start to your day or entertain in style with filtered views out towards the Yarra Ranges.  

The upper-level sunroom style living area, framed by walls of glass with a toasty wood fire, immerses you fully in the natural surroundings, perfect for peaceful reflection or entertaining guests.  Multiple doors on both levels provide seamless indoor/outdoor living so you are aways at one with nature.  

The master bedroom with ensuite-effect and walk-in robe offers a breathtaking view through its huge floor to ceiling picture window, connecting you to the birdlife and native flora like a living art gallery. Two additional double bedrooms, on the lower level, share the functional family bathroom that can be divided into zones for privacy.  

Outdoor living is made easy with layered decking areas, a flat lawn for child’s play, and space for a firepit zone for evening relaxation. 
The acreage meanders all the way down to Sassafras Creek and whilst currently wild and rambling, you could easily rediscover meandering pathways to lead the way.  Dotted with chestnut trees, natives, tree ferns, Japanese maples, magnolias, snowball trees, and rhododendrons, the grounds feel protected and hidden from the outside world.

Rare for the hills, a double drive-through auto garage with roof storage, and a workshop completes the package and there is secondary vehicle access to the road and the lower level (currently only suitable for 4WD).
Just a 4-minute drive to Monbulk where you’ll find everything you need including, specialty stores and eateries, Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, reserves, sporting clubs, Monbulk Primary School, Monbulk College, Silvan Reservoir and renowned nurseries.
