Mount Dandenong 10 Fern Glen Avenue
FERN GLEN FOREST RETREAT AND COTTAGES - OPPORTUNITY FOR MULTI GENERATIONAL LIVING OR BED AND BREAKFAST
With century old tall mountain timbers, ferns and permanent creek, this picturesque property provides you with your very own private fern forest retreat.
As the electric iron gates open to this property you will realise you are somewhere special. The fern lined sealed driveway sweeps down over the running creek to your own private forest. There is an abundance of tree ferns that line the creek which runs all year. Wildlife include running deer, wallabies, kookaburras and many others, an unsurpassed serenity. Three separate driveways make it easy to access both cottages and The Lodge, which are privately tucked away.
Situated in one of Melbourne's most popular tourist towns, Fernglen Forest Retreat is an exquisite and secluded oasis only 45 minutes from the CBD. Comprising three dwellings including a 5 bedroom limestone lodge ideal for multi generational living. Two bedroom limestone Caretakers Cottage and a one bedroom cottage, ideal to run as a bed and breakfast for further income. Set on approximately 7 acres at the end of a no through road (4 acres on title and the remainder is held by the creek reserve), this property is presently the property owner's residence and business.
Currently the multiple dwellings are run as a bed and breakfast but lends itself beautifully to multi generational living or perhaps live here and rent out a cottage or two.

Important Information
Fletchers Area Guide Mount Dandenong, VIC 3767
Well-known for its stunning views, Mount Dandenong is Melbourne’s very own suburb on a mountain. Located 35 kilometres away from the CBD, the small township accommodates a small population of just over 1,200 people and thousands upon thousands of tourists each year. The mountain upon which the suburb is located was originally named Mount Corhanwarrabul, although due to spelling and pronunciation difficulties, the name was changed to reflect the entire range of mountains in the area.
