Jellis Craig. Tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through road, this remarkable 6-acre property offers an extraordinary chance to enjoy the peace and privacy of a true lifestyle retreat — just minutes from Eltham’s vibrant heart.
Backing onto Parks Victoria land and only a short walk from the Yarra River, the setting is truly idyllic. Established, drought-tolerant gardens create year-round greenery with seasonal pops of colour, while veggie beds, a citrus grove, fruit trees and a picturesque dam with its own jetty make the grounds as productive as they are beautiful. A second dam sits just outside the fenced perimeter, adding to the sense of space and tranquillity.
Inside, warm timber tones and character details set a welcoming tone. The solid timber kitchen features a contemporary oven and cooktop alongside an Aga — a striking centrepiece within the open-plan living and dining zone. Hardwood floors flow through to a generous decked alfresco, perfect for entertaining while enjoying sweeping views of the gardens.
A second living area with an open fireplace sits beside the main bedroom, complete with built-in robes and ensuite. Downstairs, two further bedrooms, a dedicated study, and a family bathroom adjoin a spacious rumpus room opening onto the gardens — a private retreat ideal for children, guests or working from home.
Separate from the house, a light-filled studio provides additional flexibility for an artist, home office or creative space. Practical features include solar panels, a storage room, woodfire heating, split-system climate control, a double carport and a total of 40,000 litres of water storage.
Combining the serenity of country living with the convenience of being just ten minutes from Eltham Village and the train to the CBD, this is a rare opportunity to secure an exceptional lifestyle property that blends space, seclusion and modern practicality.
