Architect-designed, rich in character and surrounded by more than three acres of gardens and bushland, Darenth is one of Gruyere's most distinctive lifestyle properties. Built from Mt Gambier limestone and held by the same family for more than 50 years, the home offers remarkable scale, privacy and direct access to the Warburton Rail Trail.
Set across 3.38 acres (approx.) and three titles, the property combines timeless mid-century design with a quintessential Yarra Valley setting. Established gardens, native bushland, open lawns and a dam create a private sanctuary where nature becomes part of everyday life.
Inside, a split-level floorplan showcases hardwood floors, exposed raked ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding landscape. Generous living and dining areas gather around a striking double-sided fireplace, while a spacious kitchen with walk-in pantry provides excellent functionality and future potential.
A standout feature is the dramatic double-height entertaining room, reminiscent of a great hall, with soaring cathedral ceilings, slate floors and an impressive open fireplace creating an unforgettable space for gatherings and celebrations.
Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate study, library or fifth bedroom. The main bedroom features an ensuite and substantial dressing room, while a stair lift enhances accessibility to the lower level.
Beyond the home, established gardens, mature trees, roses, a magnificent wisteria, shed and dam provide space to relax, explore and entertain. Comfort is assured with reverse-cycle heating and cooling, ceiling fans, solar panels, a water tank and multiple fireplaces, while two driveway entrances and a double carport add everyday practicality.
Just 1km from shops and schools, bordering the Warburton Rail Trail and positioned in the rolling hills of Gruyere, Darenth places renowned wineries, cellar doors, local produce and village conveniences within easy reach.
