There’s something deeply comforting about a home that greets you with a flickering fire. Open the front door here and you’ll find just that…the soft glow of flames dancing from the Jindara wood heater, the scent of fresh updates in the air, and views that stretch eastward across the Warburton Ranges to catch both the sun and moon rising. This is a property that knows how to hold you. Positioned on 4.54 glorious acres of Silvan’s famously fertile soil, this double tumbled brick beauty has been thoughtfully updated to honour its rustic charm while embracing the comforts of modern living. New loop pile carpet adds quiet softness underfoot in the bedrooms and lounge, while exposed brickwork and a designer Dulux palette lend warmth and cohesion throughout. Bay picture windows frame storybook scenes - from an ancient elm out the lounge window to the hazelnut grove rustling beyond the back deck. The home’s layout is as generous as the land it rests on, with four living zones offering spaces to gather, retreat, entertain and play. There’s the cosy “fire room,” the open-plan heart of the home with elegant stone kitchen benches and sleek European appliances, and a serene sitting room that opens via French doors to a covered entertainer’s deck - complete with sink for impromptu garden-to-table feasts. Down the hall, four robed bedrooms include a main suite with large walk-in robe and ensuite. There’s a clawfoot tub in the family bathroom for long, sighing soaks. Just across the deck, a versatile studio with adjacent third bathroom awaits - ideal for a home office, multigenerational families, home gym, creative retreat or teen hideaway. For those seeking a slower, more sustainable rhythm, the grounds are a quiet triumph: 200+ organic olive trees ready for pressing, a hazelnut grove, and an established orchard bearing old heirloom fruit trees, including a juicy plum that’s stood the test of time, alongside peaches, figs, and citrus. Veggie beds, a chook shed, a cubby, and a woodfired pizza oven in the gazebo set the scene for simple pleasures. Rolling lawns, a tranquil pond and abundant birdlife seal the rural magic. There’s even scope for a livestock paddock if your heart leans that way. Practical features abound: ducted gas heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, 5kW solar, circular drive, a 6x18m workshop and open bay shedding, and a double garage with workshop space. The roof has just been restored too. And though it feels like a peaceful world away, you’re just 10 minutes to Mount Evelyn or Monbulk, and surrounded by the vibrant produce culture and wineries of the Yarra Valley. A true tree-change treasure…elegant, productive and deeply alive.
