A Rare Mountain Estate. A Lifetime of Possibilities. Some properties offer a home. Others offer an entirely different way of living.
Hidden amongst magnificent established gardens on approximately two acres at the summit of Mount Dandenong, Arnica Views is a truly distinctive estate where history, nature, privacy and possibility come together in an extraordinary setting.
With seven self contained boutique cottages, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to secure a private mountain sanctuary with the flexibility to bring family together, create a multi generational lifestyle or explore an entirely new chapter.
Imagine waking to birdsong, breathing in the fresh mountain air and spending your days surrounded by established English gardens, towering trees and peaceful forest views. Here, life moves at a different pace, with the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges at your doorstep and the Melbourne skyline providing a spectacular backdrop.
A place for family. A place for escape. A place to make your own.
The estate’s collection of individual residences offers an exceptional sense of character, each with its own personality, charm and sense of retreat.
The magnificent Arnica Manor recalls a bygone era, with its parquetry floors, soaring stone fireplace, exposed beams, leadlight windows and charming country kitchen, complete with its original Aga stove. Coorabell is a beautiful barn conversion, where contemporary design, expansive windows and forest views create a tranquil country escape. The Sunset Cottage captures the romance of attic style living, with city skyline views, a private balcony and a warming gas log fire.
Arnica Loft evokes the atmosphere of a traditional gentleman’s lounge, while The Barn delivers a cosy country ambience behind its picket fence. Together with the Stolen Jade and Ruby suites, the estate offers an extraordinary variety of spaces for relaxation, retreat and connection.
Many feature indulgent double spa baths, fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens and private outdoor spaces, creating opportunities for independence without sacrificing the pleasure of being together.
A lifestyle that brings people closer.
For extended families, this is an opportunity to create something genuinely special. Imagine grandparents enjoying their own private retreat, adult children having space of their own, and family gatherings taking place in a setting that feels more like a secluded holiday destination than an ordinary home.
For those seeking a change of pace, the possibilities extend further. The property’s history as a boutique accommodation retreat provides an intriguing foundation for buyers considering a lifestyle based hospitality venture, alongside the potential to combine private living with guest accommodation, subject to the relevant approvals.
Whether your vision is a private family estate, an intergenerational haven or a more flexible lifestyle with additional possibilities, few properties offer such a compelling combination of character, space and versatility.
An enviable position in the Dandenong Ranges.
Positioned moments from the iconic SkyHigh Mount Dandenong, with its celebrated bistro and sweeping views across Melbourne, Arnica Views places you amongst some of the region’s most treasured attractions.
Explore the artistic tranquillity of William Ricketts Sanctuary, wander through the gardens and cafés of Olinda, discover forest walking trails, or enjoy a scenic journey aboard the historic Puffing Billy Railway. From leisurely lunches and boutique shopping to weekend adventures and quiet afternoons at home, the surrounding region offers a lifestyle rich in natural beauty and discovery.
Despite its peaceful, elevated setting, Melbourne remains within approximately an hour’s drive, offering a wonderful balance between a secluded mountain lifestyle and metropolitan convenience.
Nearby schools and the established townships of the Dandenong Ranges add further practicality for those considering making this special part of Victoria their permanent home.
An opportunity beyond the ordinary.
Properties of this nature are rarely encountered. The combination of established gardens, multiple self contained residences, distinctive period character and an enviable mountain setting creates an offering that is difficult to replicate.
For one buyer, it may be the chance to bring generations together. For another, a private sanctuary away from the everyday. For someone else, the beginning of an exciting new venture built around a property with an established accommodation history.
The vision is yours to create.
Discover Arnica Views, where the mountains invite you to slow down, the setting inspires you to dream, and the possibilities are as individual as the people who will call it their own.
An exceptional estate. An extraordinary lifestyle. A rare opportunity to make it yours. “Why Settle For Less!”.
