PRIVATE PARADISE IF YOU are looking for your own secret ‘Shangri-La’ in the hills then look no further than ‘Tarn Lodge’, a magnificent home on about five magical acres with its own private fish-filled lake - a sanctuary for an amazing variety of hills wildlife, from the ducks and ducklings on the lake, and resident echidnas and tortoises, to the passing deer and wallabies, and famous hills birdlife kookaburras, king parrots and crimson rosellas to name a few. The single-level home is designed to maximise the lake vista with a 40-metre screened pergola and courtyard offering extensive outdoor entertaining areas. Inside entertaining is again graciously
catered for with an enormous lounge and bar area complete with oversized open fireplace, which easily opens out to the adjacent living room that flows on to the kitchen and meals area, with its own rear tiled entry for practical access from the gardens. Beyond the entertaining areas are the four generous bedrooms. The super-sized main with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe is separately located from the family bedrooms, which are serviced by a large central bathroom, separate shower room and powder room. A living room adjacent to the family bedrooms provides an excellent kids’ retreat distinct from the adult areas.
PROPERTY OF THE WEEK The high ceilings and sweeping floors of Travertine marble tiles and pure wool carpets, reflect the quality of this very private and tranquil home, while the tall windows throughout allow for light to cascade into all rooms. Car accommodation is provided by a triple garage under roofline and a separate double garage with three-phase power - the perfect man cave. Located in the heart of Olinda and only a short stroll to Olinda and Mt Dandenong villages, the property would be an ideal home for a very lucky family.
