You’ll be sitting pretty in this gorgeous outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by a lush garden and with Mt Bogong as a backdrop. This two-storey villa is surrounded by decking alongside floor-to-ceiling windows, so you’ll always have a great view to look out on.

The outdoor dining area sits on a jetty surrounded by a lagoon—you’ll even have ducks swimming by. On top of that, there’s a private outdoor spa, nestled in the garden and right next to a stream. As it fits up to seven people, Eco Villa is the perfect poolside escape.  

Luxury Mountain Retreat

Deep in the Dandenong Ranges is this Luxury Mountain Retreat, featuring one seriously stunning indoor pool. Equipped with a main pool, a spa, and even a sauna room, this is the perfect way to relax and rewind, with a dollop of fancy on the side.

The rest of the house is equally as stunning, with gorgeous marble tiling, timber ceilings and exposed stone walls, as well as a large outdoor balcony, perfect for a nightcap. The place even has its own bar, so you’ll never need to leave. 

Seaside Getaway

Although it’s only 1.5 km from the Dromana foreshore, the luxe private pool at Seaside Getaway means that there’s no need to share, you’ve got your very own private waters right at your fingertips.

The deep warm brown of the surrounding timber makes the pool pop even more and gives way to the rest of the house. With three separate lounge areas, four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there’s plenty of room to relax and recline. There’s even an indoor foosball table and a trampoline in case you get sick of swimming, but we wouldn’t count on it.

Mount View Estate
