Tucked into a highly sought after pocket of the Yarra Valley, this 1.18-hectare lifestyle property embodies the rustic beauty and calm that define Gruyere, whilst only 20 minutes from Lilydale, Healesville and all that the Yarra Valley has to offer. A handcrafted mud brick home of enduring warmth and natural grace, its a place that feels both grounded in nature and elevated by its sweeping views across the valley.
Inside, character and comfort meet in timeless form. Timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams and wood-burning fireplaces create an atmosphere thats both soulful and inviting. Every window frames a living landscape - soft morning light over rolling hills, golden sunsets melting into the horizon.
The master suite offers a peaceful retreat with walk-in robe and ensuite, while two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom and two living areas complete the main residence. The country kitchen, with its solid timber cabinetry and original St George oven, carries a sense of nostalgia and craft - a space made for slow mornings, garden produce and shared conversation. French doors open to lush gardens perfumed by fruiting trees: mulberry, feijoa, plum, apple, lemon, lime and sour cherry.
Beyond the main home, a fully self-contained mud brick cottage offers privacy and possibility. With its loft bedroom, spiral staircase, slate floors, wood fireplace and split-system heating and cooling - offering the ideal guest retreat, creative studio, or income-producing accommodation.
Outdoors, the property unfolds into a lifestyle of abundance. A sealed driveway winds past established gardens to a dam and a chicken coop, while a carport and ample off-street parking complete the practicalities. The setting is tranquil, the rhythm unhurried - the kind of place where time feels like it belongs to you again.
