77 Hilton Road, Sassafras VIC 3787

Housed in a stunning park like garden setting that fuses French inspired glamour with a supremely versatile design brimming with opportunity, this is your rare chance to procure a landmark property within a prestigious pocket of The Dandenong Ranges for garden lovers, as a permanent residence for large or multigenerational families, a farm to table dining experience or accommodation/bed and breakfast business. Commanding a grand presence via its automatic gate frontage and garden formality, the home gives rise to timeless elegance wrapped by beautifully sculpted grounds to deliver an exceptional lifestyle haven with multiple potential income opportunities. A property that will wow you from the moment you arrive and linger in your thoughts ever after, “Belle Le Vie” certainly delivers “the good life”.

Built circa 1920, the majestic estate has been carefully enhanced and reconfigured by the current owners whilst maintaining its proud heritage and undeniable appeal as the ultimate lifestyle retreat. Unrivalled in either its grand scale design, stately French-inspired architectural lines or luxury appointments, its sublime selection of elegant living spaces and seamless indoor/outdoor connection have been intuitively crafted to accommodate the needs of even the most discerning families.

A main level footprint is home to four bedrooms (two with gas log fires), reception, separate home office, two living areas, a decadent master retreat with sumptuous spa ensuite and walk-in robe, lavishly sized chef’s kitchen with walk-in pantry and stone island plus a sunny deck perfect for hosting soirees. Curated with glorious garden glances from every room and elegant character via high ceilings, double hung windows, ceiling cornices/roses, wood fires, French doors and chandeliers, the home delivers a luxe sanctuary feel.

Outdoors, every family element is covered for relaxing, play or entertaining: sunlight, shade, meandering pathways framed by manicured English box hedges and majestic tulip and oak trees standing guard. Be transported to a realm reminiscent of a French park complete with a water fountain and Collins Street lights, where every corner is adorned with lush greenery and vibrant blooms. One of the highlights of this enchanting estate is the fully established “potager’ with vegetable garden and chicken house in the sunniest spot of the grounds, sequestered from the main house echoing Marie Antoinette’s Garden at the Palace of Versailles. Here, green thumbs can wander through the rows of fresh produce, immersing themselves in the calming Zen of nature's bounty. There are spots for a picnic, a firepit zone and spectacular bursts of colour throughout the seasons with something always in bloom (no need to visit a florist here!).

The Opportunity – Accommodation Business or Large Multigeneration Family Use
Under the same roofline but privately sequestered are three suites that can be utilised for multigenerational families, guests or income producing business ventures.

Another suite contains a kitchenette and medium size ensuite with walk-in shower, whilst the third suite features a large bathroom with free standing bath and walk-in shower, kitchenette plus a large deck looking into the garden.
