8 Ida Grove, Olinda, VIC 3788

Ensconced upon one of Olinda?s most peaceful no-through roads, this breathtaking 1.5-acre (6200m? approx) estate is more than just a home - it?s an escape. An experience. A sensory delight where every window frames garden glory, and every corner whispers the promise of peaceful serenity. A place where mornings begin with mist rolling through the treetops, afternoons are spent meandering through terraced gardens, and evenings unfold under starry skies, soaking in the outdoor hot tub with nothing but the sounds of nature for company.

A stately silver birch and manicured hedges set the tone as you arrive, leading you through a wooden door into a private walled forecourt. Here, French-style bevelled glass doors invite you inside, where the chandelier clad formal dining and sunken lounge with raked ceilings exude an effortless elegance. The stone-surround open fireplace flickers against the evening hush, its glow reflected in wide, leafy outlooks that need no artwork - nature is the only gallery you?ll ever need.

From here, the home unfolds into a breathtaking open-plan living zone, encased in glass on two sides, with clerestory and atrium-style windows that capture the treetops, the sky and an abundance of natural light. An inbuilt gas log fire takes centre stage, wrapping the space in warmth, while the gourmet kitchen anchored by a social island with breakfast bench, beckons both chefs and coffee connoisseurs alike. A full suite of Miele appliances - including double ovens and a built-in coffee machine - makes morning lattes and Sunday roasts equally effortless. A cosy sitting room opposite provides the perfect nook to cradle a cup of tea and get lost in the views.

Thoughtful zoning ensures privacy and flow. The main bedroom retreat is set apart, featuring dual walk-through robes and ensuite-effect access to a two-way bathroom. Down a separate wing, three additional bedrooms share a light-filled family bathroom, complete with a bathtub that delivers dreamy garden vistas as you soak away the day. A sunroom/home office offers a flexible space for work, relaxation, or quiet contemplation.

Outside, the lifestyle possibilities continue. A rear paved terrace, complete with a shade awning, creates an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, lazy weekend brunches, or a sunset glass of wine. Overlooking the terraced gardens and rolling lawns, it?s the perfect spot to soak up the magical setting or entertain under dappled light.

Beyond the main residence, a separate studio known fondly as ?Idaway? adds another layer of versatility. Whether for guests, Airbnb potential, multigenerational living, or a creative retreat, this space delivers, with its modern bathroom, open plan living/bedroom, and kitchenette. A three-car garage with an attached workshop provides ample parking and storage, while additional off-street parking ensures convenience for visitors.

And the location? Just a short stroll to Pirianda Gardens and the local nursery, while the charming village life of Olinda is moments away. But with a sanctuary like this, you may never want to leave.
