OFI Cancelled !!! From a time Past! Over 40 years in the same ownership. Offers Close Friday 11th March @5pm

It is not yet known how closely this property is related to the famous "Nathania Springs" 4 doors up the road. One thing is for certain though, with this beautiful old house being built circa 1920's it was almost certainly there during the hey day of the famous Dandenong Ranges attraction.
During the 1920's & 30's people would travel from Melbourne on hot summer days along the "scenic road" and enjoy the Oasis that was the clear, spring fed ponds of Nathania Springs. Often people would also stay locally overnight at the "Mountain Grande" only a few doors down which is still standing today.
Full of history and still retaining its magnificent 2m wide front verandah, there aren't many properties in the Dandenong Ranges that have survived close to 100 years !!
The house of course is only half the story, the olde worlde garden that totals over 1.5 acres will serve as the inspiration for the new owners to renovated the house and see this time capsule into the next 100 years! There are massive copper beeches, Oaks and a host of other deciduous trees throughout the garden. Beyond the garden is large open lawn areas that rolls down to the creek that runs along the back of the property. This is the very same creek that fed the famous ponds of Nathania Springs back in the 1920's & 30's.
There are also numerous improvements and outbuildings throughout the grounds including a double garage for the daily drives and a separate brick workshop that is approx 8 x 12m complete with 3 phase power for whatever hobbies you may have. There are sealed pathways everywhere, making the property extremely accessible for people of all ages and rooms in the garden where one can stop for a moment reflect and smell the roses!

Bring your tools and your historically sympathetic eye for your inspection of this very special property. The family are seeking not just a buyer but a new custodian of this family treasure!
