Set within the rolling hills of Christmas Hills on Wurundjeri Country, this 3.25-hectare property forms part of a significant corridor of remnant native vegetation linking the Sugarloaf Reservoir with the Warrandyte-Kinglake Nature Conservation Reserve. The covenant protects diverse native bushland typical of the Nillumbik area, including Grassy Dry Forest, Valley Grassy Forest and pockets of Creekline Herb-rich Woodland along two seasonal gullies that form part of the Watsons Creek catchment.

Within a cleared area of around 1.5 acres, a character-filled three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits comfortably in its natural surrounds. The home includes multiple living areas, a wood heater and covered alfresco space overlooking a picturesque dam, creating a warm and welcoming place to enjoy the landscape and wildlife throughout the seasons. Around 1 km of walking trails meander through the bushland, inviting exploration and quiet moments in nature.

The property supports a rich diversity of flora and fauna, including over 30 species of terrestrial orchids. Kangaroos, echidnas and abundant birdlife are regular visitors, and several threatened species have been recorded on the covenant, including Round-leaf Pomaderris, Gang-gang Cockatoos, Grey Goshawks and Brush-tailed Phascogales.

For us, what makes this place truly special is the sense of immersion in the landscape — caring for the bush, watching the wildlife thrive, and knowing this small but important piece of the Yarra Valley will be protected for generations to come.
