11 Bickleigh Vale Road, Mooroolbark 700 m2

Subscribe to regular market updates. Poised within the heritage-listed Bickleigh Vale Village, this 700m² (approx.) parcel is an invitation to become part of one of Victoria's most treasured residential landscapes, where history, architecture and gardens have coexisted in harmony for almost a century. Neighbouring heritage listed houses designed and built by one of Australia’s most influential landscape designer’s Edna Walling in the 1920s, the setting is one of quiet beauty, framed by magnificent established gardens and homes that have become part of Australia's architectural story. With a prized north-to-rear orientation and a stunning old English Oak in the lower garden, the allotment offers a wonderful canvas to create a home that respects the past while embracing modern family living. Gentle sunlight filters across the rear of the block throughout the day, while birdsong and seasonal colour provide an ever-changing backdrop that makes this address feel wonderfully peaceful and secluded. Previously home to a three-bedroom cottage, this is a rare opportunity to design a timeless home that honours the vision established by Edna Walling while expressing your own architectural style (STCA). Please note that any future development must respect the cultural, landscape and architectural heritage significance of the village with a design which complements existing houses in their garden settings (in accordance with the endorsed guidelines in the Covenant Pursuant to Section 134 of The Heritage Act 2017). This includes and is not limited to the dwelling being similar in footprint and siting of the cottage removed in 2011 (some original doors and windows retained in a rear shed). What makes Bickleigh Vale so extraordinary is its rarity. Recognised by The National Trust in 1978 as a “classified” Landscape, the village comprises just 31 properties, with 17 individually heritage listed. Homes rarely become available, and opportunities to build within this remarkable enclave are rarer still. Just moments from Billanook College, village shops, walking trails and the conveniences of Mooroolbark, this is an incredible opportunity to create a home that becomes part of an enduring legacy.
