MOUNTAIN TOP RETREAT IF YOU are looking for a secluded private retreat, then the property ‘Mandavilla’ is for you. The adventure beings following the natural forested driveway of about 1.5kms to the top of the mountain to discover this hidden gem overlooking Healesville and its surrounds. Built in the mid-’90s by renowned local builder Chris Overend, the home was architecturally designed with a French provincial influence of solid brick construction, making the home perfect for this rural location. The use of natural timber and handcrafted wrought iron fittings are immediately evident walking into the home. The ground floor of the home has a well-appointed central kitchen with walk-in pantry, feature solid wood heater and window seat in the living area, separate dining area, spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobe and single bathroom.
