68 Hilton Rd, Ferny Creek VIC 3786

This exquisitely reimagined hills sanctuary - crafted with distinction, a penchant for elegance, and a whisper of enchantment - is a mid-century treasure nestled on a lush half-acre (approx.), where every glance reveals a new facet of natural beauty. Each corner of this French country-inspired retreat speaks to timeless design, with updates that honour the home’s character while bringing modern luxury into every detail. Step into a home where stories linger in every corner, wrapping you in warmth from the original double-hung sash and casement windows to the intricate cornices and dreamy reclaimed French oak floors. Natural and organic textures echo the beauty of outside, blending old and new with earthy tones that seamlessly mirror the surrounding landscape.

Each element, from handcrafted finishes to thoughtfully modern touches, harmonises to create a timeless home where elegance feels effortless. The open-plan living area is anchored by a sophisticated stone kitchen, where the breakfast bar and sleek high-end appliances - including a Bosch dishwasher, Oliveri stone sink, 900mm Bosch gas cooktop, and double Ilve ovens - set the stage for culinary creativity and lively gatherings. Imagine pinot in hand, laughter over a shared platter, and conversations that flow as freely as the space itself. A sky lit butler’s pantry keeps everything effortlessly organised, making this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Flanking the kitchen heart, two distinct living zones offer both connection and calm. Bespoke details delight in the sumptuous living/meals from the handcrafted timber bench seat (sourced from an old bridge in Gippsland) to a gas log fire that sets a stage for fireside gatherings. Through stacker doors, the alfresco deck extends the home into the gardens, making the natural surroundings a daily pleasure.

For quiet moments, slip into the lounge - complete with a charming barn door, original stone fireplace, dual aspect windows and a sense of secluded peace. Each of the four bedrooms has been thoughtfully crafted, especially the swoon worthy master suite, a private haven overlooking an enchanting garden scape. Complete with a deluxe dressing room and a luxurious ensuite featuring a double rain shower, and soaking tub with glorious garden outlook, it promises pure indulgence. Enveloping the home, the meticulously curated gardens invite exploration, relaxation, and inspiration at every turn. From the French provincial-style edible kitchen garden bursting with passionfruit, kiwifruit, lemons, and a bounty of herbs and vegetables, to flourishing hydrangeas, camellias, apricot blossoms, fragrant magnolias, ancient maples, cloud trees and the magnificent Étienne de France tree peony, each inch is crafted with love and purpose.
