Lilydale VIC 3140

This original homestead residence and its separate cottage have been occupied for well over a hundred years. The garden setting with magnificent century-old exotic trees and colourful four seasons display offers a glimpse into the comfortable rural lifestyle of the pastoral properties of the historic Shire of Lillydale. Now in need of immediate attention or possibly redevelopment (STCA), these historic houses enjoy glorious scenic outlooks across the Yarra Valley to the distant blue ranges. Nearby properties peacefully and privately extend the parklike beauty of this rare allotment. Fertile soil and permanent natural water supply, through the toughest drought years, have nurtured this classic garden and its surrounds (now 7.5 acres approx.). This prime location in the heart of the Yarra Valley delivers top quality lifestyle, tourism, recreation and hospitality activities locally. World-renowned agriculture ensures that fresh produce and wine are always at hand in the district.
Approx an hours comfortable drive from Melbourne CBD and Tullamarine International Airport on excellent roads, just minutes from the Lilydale railway/bus networks connecting the Yarra Valley and Melbourne, with convenient access to a range of excellent public and private schools at all levels add to the benefits. All utilities, town water and waste removal services are available. Whether you dream of an idyllic rural retreat, which would impress the fussiest of friends, or the chance to develop a creative new Yarra Valley project, this truly unique Yarra Valley property demands inspection. Experience first-hand today how this charming piece of history fits your future.
