Magical Hideaway in the Hills of Emerald | House in Emerald
3 Bedroom House in Emerald
Tucked away in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, this magical hideaway blends warmth, charm, and imagination. With whimsical touches, hidden play spaces, and nature all around, it’s a cosy retreat for families, friends, and dreamers alike — the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and rediscover a sense of wonder.
This unique home has been lovingly designed to spark curiosity and offer relaxation in equal measure. Every corner tells a story — from the vintage wardrobe transformed into a cosy reading nook, to the secret playroom hidden behind a door that once was a walk-in robe. It’s a home where children (and the young at heart) can discover their own little “worlds within a world.”
Enjoy open-plan living with picture windows looking out over tranquil gardens, an inviting fireplace for cooler evenings, and plenty of space for shared meals and conversations.
You’ll feel a sense of calm and escape — yet the property is only a few minutes’ drive from Emerald township and popular attractions such as the Puffing Billy Railway and Emerald Lake Park.
