13 Lisheen Road, Cockatoo, VIC 3781

Imagine a place not far away, but a million miles from all the stresses of city living. A fully renovated, modern home among the gum trees with space for all the family, and only a couple of minutes from Cockatoo, a picturesque country town that is big enough for a supermarket, but small enough that the locals have time to stop and chat.

Less than 50km from central Melbourne, in the Dandenong Ranges, is Fernbrook. A stylish 4 bedroom home with a full kitchen, laundry and two and a half bathrooms.

You will love living at Fernbrook. Whether it is having a barbecue on the tree-top deck overlooking the garden, kicking a football on one of the lawns or perhaps you prefer the firepit and conversation circle in the front garden. There is also a wood fireplace and, nestled at the bottom of a beautifully landscaped native garden, a burbling stream surrounded by giant tree ferns. You can wander down to the stream for a picnic under the pergola or even dangle your toes in the water and look for fish from the bridge. There is something to discover around every corner at Fernbrook.

Kids and nature lovers will love the bird life with kookaburras, rosellas, king parrots (hand feed) , cockatoos and honeyeaters are always around. And if you?re lucky, you may even spot Charlie, our resident wombat, or Spike, our local echidna.

Inside the house your every need is catered for, with 4 bedrooms, the master bedroom with full en suite, giant wardrobe with a clever built-in makeup vanity. The three further bedrooms are comfortable in size, built-in robes and the fourth would make the ideal office for those that can work from home.

The open plan includes a kitchen with an integrated breakfast bar that is fully equipped including Ceasar stone bench tops, a pantry, an electric induction stovetop and under bench oven.

You may wish to snuggle up in front of the slow combustion wood fire that even doubles as a pizza or bakery oven plus you have the comfort of ducted central heating.

The private garden wonderland of 2,213 sqm ( half an acre) has a wood shed, ample under-house walk-in storage and a double carport.

The entire area abounds in beautiful forests and forest walks, including the acclaimed Wright Forest Bushland Reserve.

Cockatoo Country Market is the first Saturday of every month, and Mt Burnett Observatory is just down the road. And right through the middle of town runs Puffing Billy. If you listen at the right times, you can hear his cheery whistle from Fernbrook as he steams along between Gembrook and Emerald.

Gembrook is just 6km from Cockatoo and boasts

?The Independent? Argentinian restaurant (highly recommended), interesting shops and Bunyip State Park. Just 6km in the other direction lies Emerald, with its cafes, restaurants, award-winning bakery, Emerald Lake Park and ?Pick-Your-Own? berry farms. And beyond that, of course, the entire Dandenong Ranges is there for you, with the famous townships of Belgrave, Sassafras and Olinda, celebrated gardens, quirky shops, stunning forests and beautiful drives.

So come and get away from it all at Fernbrook!

You can book your inspection or see you at the open day.
