Sassafras 4BR retreat on 2.5 acres w firepit

Summary:

Maison Luxury Stays welcomes you to Alice Grove — a spacious 4-bedroom retreat set on 2.5 acres in Sassafras, within the Dandenong Ranges.



Designed for families and groups, enjoy open lawns, forest views, and seamless indoor–outdoor living. Gather by the firepit, dine on the deck, and let the kids explore. A peaceful escape just moments from cafés, walking trails, and local villages.



The Space:

Welcome to Alice Grove — a thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom retreat offering space, comfort, and a deep connection to nature in the Dandenong Ranges.
