127 Killara Road Gruyere VIC 3770

Welcome to 127 Killara Road Gruyere- a fabulous four bedroom home on 27 acres ( approx) of lovely paddocks and gardens. Close enough to everyday needs but far enough away to enjoy the rural lifestyle. The best of both worlds...

Tucked away between the Warburton and Maroondah Highways, Gruyere has managed to retain its rural identity with apple orchards and dairy farms, but also has a sophisticated edge with such wineries as Medhurst and the award winning Yarra Yering Estate all within its boundaries. All this within a short drive to Lilydale, and just on an hour from the CBD, this four bedroom home sits on 27 acres ( approx) and ticks all the boxes for easy country living.

A sweeping driveway leads to a large forecourt with ample parking and a double garage, with internal access. The front entrance to the home is located here, however the most common point of entry is past the sparkling inground pool through the lovely alfresco area to the side door...

A great floor plan allows for easy living, with the home divided into two halves. A recently updated kitchen has plenty of bench space and storage and is the nerve centre of the home. This family area contains the family living area, and informal dining area that sits easily in a conservatory style nook. A split system and large wood heater make for easy all year round comfort.

Two generous bedrooms with study nooks and excellent storage located at the rear of the home looking out into the garden and paddocks beyond. A lovely large family bathroom serves these rooms well, and the laundry with external access is also here.

The second half of the home is dedicated to the adults, with a sophisticated dining and lounge area, separated by an open fire and bookshelves, a lovely double aspect room with large windows and sliding glass doors allowing the light in from both ways, and easy access into the garden.

The master bedroom is adjacent, with separate toilet (how practical), ensuite and generous storage space available. The fourth bedroom can easily be used as a study, which is the perfect location for a home based business, with the front door and internal access from the garage close by.

The pool and alfresco area adjacent to the living areas of the home highlight the comfortable transitional living this home offers, and you can easily imagine summer evenings with friends relaxing beside the pool and enjoying the good things in life. The garden has established trees and shrubs and wraps itself around the home, bursting into a riot of colour come Spring.

With four fenced paddocks, and two dams, this property is perfect for a country lifestyle of sheep, cows and horses. A chicken coop is also handily located close to the house. Predominately clear, there are some lovely shade trees for stock, scattered through.

In addition to the double garage attached to the home, a large shed currently used as an extensive workshop is located in the bottom paddock. Here a bevy of solar panels maximise the northern light to generate power for the home, complementing the solar panels on the roof, 34 in total. A fast electric vehicle charging point is in the garage, again taking advantage of all that beautiful sunlight!

A wander up the paddock rewards you with outstanding views across the valley to Mt Dandenong and beyond. The reward for the climb is the wonderful replica cattleman's hut that sits above the property, with a sleeping mezzanine and pot belly stove making for a glamping experience, and many happy family memories. A track also meanders its way up the fence line; easier to walk and a safer incline to take a vehicle, if that's more your style!

A quality, comfortable home set on 27 acres approximately, on the school bus route, with excellent schooling options located in the outer easter suburbs. Excellent equestrian facilities are all located close by including Glenbrae, Wandin Park and Wandin Academy.
The Warburton Trail is a few minutes drive, while wineries, villages and nature the Yarra Valley is famous for is all on your doorstep.
