There’s no need to go buy the fancy fern wallpaper that seems to be all the rage right now for this Olinda treehouse.
The picturesque property with huge glass windows is surrounded by forest, a tiered fern garden and native birdlife – letting nature do all the work for you.
The three-bedroom pad at 20 Olinda-Monbulk Road is on the market with a $1.2m price tag.

The lucky buyers will feel at one with nature: the home has you feeling like you’re living in a secluded haven, yet it’s just 50m from the local village, which features boutique stores, antique shops, cafes and restaurants.
Bell agent Elliot Bell said the house had functioned as the owners’ weekender, and had been completely rebuilt.
“It’s a fit out you’d find in Brighton or the Bayside suburbs,” he said.
The property was designed around an open-plan communal hub, which features the kitchen, living and dining zone and connects to the large entertainment deck.
The bedrooms and bathrooms flank this hub.
Soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, and the picture windows that frame lush green vistas are standout features of the home.
A private garden studio, which could be “the perfect spot to finish that novel”, is another highlight.
“It’s disappointing we can’t show people through at the moment but once we are able to do so, it will get snatched up really quickly,” Mr Bell said.
“It’s biggest appeal is it is this amazing secluded property, but still only a 1-2 minute walk from the village.”
