Fish Creek's Hidden Gardener's Oasis
Imagine coming home to your own private sanctuary—a place where the stresses of the day fall away as you turn onto the meandering gravel driveway of 160 Soldiers Road. Here, the surrounding landscape unfolds like a painting, with twisting branches of native trees welcoming you, their leafy canopies filtering dappled sunlight across the brick-paved garden paths, leading you deeper into this vibrant paradise. This is not just a home—it’s a retreat for the senses, where you can reconnect with nature, find solace, and live life at your own pace.
The homestead at 160 Soldiers Road offers an enchanting escape, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. Set on approximately 5.2 acres of meticulously cultivated gardens, it is truly a gardener’s dream come to life. Wander through brick-paved paths that wind through your secret garden, where the heady scent of blooming perennials and vibrant native flora envelop you. Cozy seating nooks invite moments of quiet reflection, while colorful blooms and lush greenery bring joy with every step. Picture yourself sitting on the South-facing deck or one of the charming garden seating areas, perfect for a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine, all while soaking in the serene views and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze. The garden’s abundance includes a delightful mix of native and cottage plants, succulents, and fruit trees—a living tapestry designed to bring joy all year round.
Inside, the home flows with an inviting warmth. Timber floorboards, neutral decor, and a large, open-plan layout create a cozy yet spacious atmosphere, ideal for family gatherings or simply unwinding by the wood burner on a chilly evening. The central living space is infused with natural light, with large windows that perfectly frame the garden's stunning views—bringing the beauty of nature inside and making every room feel intimately connected to the lush landscape beyond.
The kitchen is a true country delight, spacious enough to entertain and equipped with all you need for creating memorable meals. Featuring a country-style cooker, dishwasher, and a large bay window, it is designed to inspire—whether you’re preparing an elaborate feast or a simple Sunday breakfast.
There is also a versatile second living area—currently a creative sewing room—which adds flexibility to the home. Sliding doors lead you to the front deck, making it easy to step outside and breathe in the fresh country air. The dual living arrangement of the property provides extra space for guests or family members seeking privacy, complete with a bedroom, kitchenette, and a renovated bathroom.
The beauty of this property lies in its versatility. The master bedroom offers an ensuite and a tranquil place to rest, while additional bedrooms provide comfort and ample space for family or guests. Everywhere you look, there are thoughtful touches designed to make life comfortable—from the spacious laundry to the generous built-in storage throughout.
Beyond the house, the garden paths beckon you to explore further, with winding trails that lead you through lush green zones, secluded seating areas, and a mix of shaded woodland and open paddocks. Discover hidden nooks perfect for reading or reflection, a greenhouse for cultivating your own plants, and a charming chicken coop beside a well-kept vegetable garden—all serviced by ample water storage to keep your garden lush. A treed paddock at the back offers possibilities for a hobby farm, while the expansive open fields and secluded bushland provide space for quiet walks, family picnics, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings.
And the location—it’s hard to beat. Just 10 minutes from the vibrant townships of Foster and Fish Creek, you have local shops, the iconic Fish Creek Hotel, and artistic hubs all within easy reach. The pristine beaches of Sandy Point and Waratah Bay are only a short drive away, inviting spontaneous beach days, while the flora and fauna of Walkerville await exploration. Plus, the iconic Wilsons Promontory—a gateway to unforgettable hiking, wildlife, and natural beauty—is just 25 minutes away.
160 Soldiers Road is more than a property; it’s a lifestyle. Whether you dream of spending your mornings in the garden, your afternoons at the beach, or your evenings under the stars on your own verandah, this home offers a unique opportunity to embrace a tranquil and fulfilling way of life.
