12-14 Hereford Rd, Mount Evelyn is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 7 parking spaces and was built in 1968. The property has a land size of 1825m2 and floor size of 248m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in February 2025.
Once part of a sprawling 60-hectare estate owned by the Governor La Trobe and later the residence and gallery of renowned local artist Ernest Buckmaster, Grantully carries a rich heritage. Hidden from view and introduced by original stone pillars and towering pines, this 1968-built treasure is an eclectic ode to 60s design, offering a perfect balance of retro charm and contemporary functionality.
Privately nestled on approx. 1825sqm of peaceful seclusion, the double-brick home offers flexible spaces that cater to large or multigenerational family living, creative pursuits, and entertaining. The kitchen, featuring electric cooking, a dishwasher drawer, walk-in pantry, and a handy servery, flows into the family/meals area, where a social breakfast bench and an open fire takes centre stage. Beyond, the alfresco terrace invites summer evenings spent dining under the shade of the wisteria.
The lounge and dining room, with its raked timber-beam ceilings, clerestory windows, and built-in shelving, exudes warmth and character. The main bedroom is a serene sanctuary, complete with a chic ensuite, home office/retreat, and plentiful built-in storage. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms (one with a walk-in robe) and an updated bathroom create a haven for the kids.
Downstairs, a semi-renovated self-contained flat complete with its own private garden and tranquil pond, provides the perfect setup for multigenerational living, allowing family members to enjoy their own space and privacy. Alternatively, it presents an enticing opportunity for potential rental income or even a home business, guest retreat, or Airbnb escape for additional revenue. Two bedrooms, a living area, kitchen and bathroom are further complemented by a hobby or storage room and under-stair storage.
Outdoors, a tradies dream awaits: dual driveways, a huge 7.5m x 11m (approx.) shed with an office/workshop, plus an over-height carport for boats or caravans. The lush gardens, abundant with kookaburras, parrots and ringtail possums, feature multiple ponds, three water tanks, and an eclectic mix of native, cottage and tropical plantings that create your very own nature haven. There are multiple alfresco spaces to enjoy the peaceful setting, spots to sit with a cuppa and meandering pathways that will delight children and green thumbs alike.
Just a stroll to Mount Evelyns vibrant village and the Warburton Trail, and moments to Yarra Valley wineries, schools, and shopping hubs, Grantully blends a storied past with modern-day practicality to deliver a truly unique lifestyle.
