Set amid the rich soils of Silvan's celebrated market garden region, where neat rows of produce roll across the hillsides, this beautifully built home spreads across approximately 1.24 acres of fully fenced grounds with far reaching market garden views and the kind of space that makes room for every part of family life. Automated gates open to a driveway lined with lavender and daffodils, and beyond it lies room for cars, caravans, boats and trailers, garden projects, chickens and fruit trees, big gatherings, muddy boots, noisy teenagers and quiet mornings. There is room for all of it here.
Inside, polished hardwood floors bring warmth to the open-plan living and dining zone, where a Jindara wood heater becomes the natural winter gathering point and statement pendant lighting defines the dining space. From here, the home flows into a social, beautifully considered kitchen designed to handle both everyday family life and a crowd.
A stone waterfall island with breakfast bar sits at its centre, complemented by double AEG electric ovens, AEG gas cooktop, dishwasher, recessed remote-operated rangehood and undermount stone sink. A window splash-back frames the lush gardens beyond, and the plumbed fridge remains with the property. Behind the scenes, a butler's pantry with second sink provides extra preparation and storage space, keeping the main kitchen polished when entertaining.
Sliding doors open the kitchen and dining zone to an exceptional all-weather entertaining room beneath a pitched roof with skylights. Automatic blinds fully enclose one entire side when the weather turns, while a plumbed gas barbecue, double bar fridge and Nectre wood fire make it genuinely usable in every season. Open it all up in summer and the outlook stretches across the verdant acreage.
The accommodation is equally well considered. The main bedroom is privately positioned beside the living zone with an enormous walk-in robe and fully tiled ensuite featuring a double shower and twin Villeroy & Boch basins. Three further robed bedrooms sit together beyond a hallway that can be closed off, creating a private family wing. One has its own walk-in robe, while the fully tiled family bathroom pairs a glimmering rain shower with a luxe, deep freestanding bath, black stone-topped vanity and inset mirror.
A glass sliding door off the kitchen conceals the laundry, so appliances can run without disturbing the living areas, and a powder room and lovely outlook bring a touch of polish to what is usually the most practical room in the house. Double glazing throughout, zoned refrigerated heating and cooling, solar panels and dimmable lighting add year-round comfort and efficiency.
Outside, the property only grows more impressive. The concrete driveway continues all the way to a substantial 16m x 7m (approx.) shed with two roller doors and its own wood heater, giving it serious workshop, gym or man-cave credentials. An adjoining lockable storage room and mezzanine absorb everything from tools and camping gear to the inevitable collection of things nobody quite wants to throw away.
Raised vegetable beds, a chicken house, cubby, wood storage and established fruiting trees, including olive, blackberry, lemon, lime, pear, apple and loquat, make the most of this fertile setting. Magnolias and camellias border two sides of the property, with the magnolia foliage offering an established income opportunity.
Dual access, including a second entrance from Berry Road, makes moving around the property effortless, while extensive concrete parking and undercover accommodation for at least six vehicles add exceptional practicality.
Peaceful and productive, yet far from isolated, the home is just a five-minute drive to Mount Evelyn township, with the shops and schools of Wandin North and Monbulk also close by. Country space, market garden views and everyday convenience, all in one.
