Last Listing description (February 2025)

This timeless mid-century Merchant Builders modern haven offers a refreshing embrace of nature, design, and serenity. Tucked amidst a 979m (approx.) of a world famous garden oasis, this home carries a legacy as rich as its soil.

Once owned by Otto Fauser, one of Australias most renowned and beloved alpine plantsmen and a life member of the Ferny Creek Horticultural Society, this property reflects his passion for rare and exotic plantings with many diverse and miniature varieties showcased. Otto, an acclaimed alpine garden enthusiast, transformed this bare block with truckloads of rock, crafting terraces that frame a botanical wonderland. His gardens, home to every known Crocus of his time, 80 varieties of Fritillaria, Hellebores, Trout Lily, Galanthus, and other dwarf bulbs, are a treasure waiting to be revived to their original splendor.

From the moment you arrive, the homes earthy charm and forested setting evoke a sense of belonging. A fresh Dulux palette in Lexicon Quarter pairs effortlessly with its classic mid-century features that includes fresh grey/speckle carpets, soaring raked ceilings, clerestory windows, and floor-skimming glass that flood the space with light and frame the lush surrounds.

Inside, the heart of the home beats with the warmth of timber-lined ceilings and rustic brick tiles in the kitchen/meals zone. The kitchen itself, adorned with stainless-steel appliances and a retro pendant light, invites easy mornings at the breakfast bar and slow, soulful dinners with loved ones. A lavishly sized family room is a peaceful domain to enjoy your downtime with lush, garden glances from every angle.

Accommodation includes a master suite with an ensuite and walk-in robe, while two additional robed bedrooms, tucked at the rear, promise peaceful slumber. The retro bathrooms iconic brick tiles and two-way toilet continue the homes nostalgic appeal, making it ideal for those who crave robust character.

Outdoors, the once glorious gardens whisper with potential - a treasure trove waiting to be loved anew. Ottos generosity was as legendary as his green thumb visitors often left with plants lovingly packaged and labelled, his way of ensuring their survival and continuity. It was once said, "horticulturally speaking, all roads lead to Otto," and his ethos of sharing and preservation lives on in this once extraordinary garden.

Just a short stroll to Olinda village, where coffee, community, and culinary delights await - a harmonious blend of retreat and connection. Whether youre seeking an escape, a connection to nature, or simply a place to savour lifes pleasures, this Olinda classic offers it all.
