Did you say you wanted flat land with a large character home?
Well, here it is! Extensively refurbished with a private yet central location, this property offers a golden opportunity to acquire an iconic and prime landholding in Olinda. Walking distance to the charm and allure of Mt Dandenong village yet emanating a distinct feeling of timeless country ambience. Just over 2 lush acres of predominately flat grounds dotted with European classics such as pines, elms, fir, oak, beech and pine trees this is a lifestyle or investment opportunity of grand proportions that will bring joy to future generations.

Formerly known as “Bray Lodge Guest House” the property offers beautiful grounds of over 8645m2 (2.13 Acres) that are home to an original homestead circa 1930's including the perfectly flat lawn at the rear that was once a tennis court.
The property also houses a double roller door garage, privacy fencing and abundant off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

Over the last 3 years the owners have been busy!

A list of the works undertaken include:
Restumping the whole property and any joists requiring replacement were done.
New hot water.
New large gas ducted heating system.
The two new split systems are only 18 months old installed after the renovation for air con as well as heating. They are 10Kw each.
All the cosmetics, lights, kitchen, oven range hood etc and the tiling
The entire entrance veranda, electrical and lights have been completely replaced and has concrete stumps under the veranda floor now and you will see that whole section of roof is also brand new.
Most of the core electrical wiring through the roof was replaced and quite a bit throughout the house as well. All the electrical and gas compliance testing has been done as the property was tenanted and required this.
The water piping to the house underground from the meter has been replaced and nearly all the water pipes in the house were also replaced as they were original Galvanised pipes.
A good portion of the outside wall cladding and all the base boards have been replaced
Any portions of the plaster (even some areas that look “old” are actually new and were replaced in the renovation).
All the aged insulation in the roof was removed by suction, cleaned out and all new insulation installed as part of the renovation.

The owners have decided to hand the baton on, so here is your opportunity to make this property what you will, a large home, an accommodation business or whatever you have in mind (Subject to council approval of course!).
The hard work in infrastructure has been done!.

Enjoy a picnic in your own park like gardens, meander your way down the road to the Mount Dandenong Hotel for a pub meal, get a coffee and a pie from the bakery, enjoy live music at Kellys Bar or walk the trails off Ridge Road. The location is rich in lifestyle amenities and will bring a lifetime of joy to growing families.
