Alistair Knox Inspired Mudbrick Sanctuary Nestled Near National Park

Lovingly built and held by the same family since its creation, this alluring mudbrick residence draws from Alistair Knox’s iconic design style, capturing the essence of his nature-inspired philosophy. Nestled at the edge of the Dandenong Ranges National Park in a private and exclusive no-through road, the home enjoys breathtaking southwest vistas that transform into a sparkling urban lightshow at dusk. This is more than just a home – it’s a retreat rich in character, harmonising rustic charm that melds with the landscape with thoughtful modern comforts. Just moments from Ferntree Gully and Boronia stations and within 1.2km of Ferntree Gully North Primary School, it combines bushland serenity with suburban convenience delivering a true lifestyle home.
Inside, an abundance of natural light pours in through large panes, French doors, and clerestory windows, creating a beautiful indoor-outdoor connection. The split-level layout boasts cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, warming timbers, and mudbrick walls that radiate warmth and earthy appeal. The inviting open-plan living area is anchored by a combustion wood fire heater, making it the perfect cosy spot for winter evenings. Complemented by extensive fired brick and Tasmanian oak flooring, this home exudes timeless elegance at every turn.
The refreshed kitchen with electric under bench oven and cooktop is designed to inspire home chefs. Featuring soft-close cabinetry, generous bench space, and ample storage, all framed by a beautiful kitchen garden window that gazes out at the vegetable and herb garden. Thoughtful features like pull-out spice racks and kickboard storage elevate the space’s functionality and style.
Off the kitchen, a quiet sitting room or second living space resides for quiet moments or flexibility for families.
Each of the four spacious bedrooms has its own unique character, with an option for two master suites (one with walk-in robe delivering appeal for teenagers). Flooded in natural light, the upstairs master clad in western red cedar is an oasis of privacy for the heads of the house, complete with dual built-ins, office nook, ensuite, and its own private balcony overlooking the serene surroundings. Downstairs, the family bathroom features a relaxing spa bath and a convenient 2-way toilet.
Outdoors, the gently terraced, bushland-style gardens invite endless exploration and a connection to nature. With 3 water tanks to keep the greenery thriving, a veggie patch ready for fresh produce, and ample space for green thumbs or kids to roam and play in the fresh air, it’s a true nature haven. The adjacent national park and walking trails create a magical backdrop for family life, offering an ever-present invitation to adventure.
An alfresco deck to the side of the home is perfect for savouring your morning brew or hosting friends and family overlooking the gardens alive with the song of native birdlife, including the cheerful cackle of kookaburras, and if you’re lucky, a meandering echidna.
Ample parking is catered for in the double garage and powered workshop/studio, with water connection. Additional off street driveway parking provided with allocated bays.
Superbly situated close to St Joseph’s College, Boronia K12 College, both Boronia and Ferntree Gully shopping conveniences and train stations, the iconic 1000 Steps, Ferntree Gully Quarry Reserve and buses.
This home is a sanctuary of natural beauty, abundant space, and convenience, perfectly suited to families who value lifestyle, charm, and a unique connection to nature.
