About this property

Serene & Classic Family Retreat by the Yarra

Summary:
Welcome to your private escape in the heart of nature. Tucked away on more than an acre of lush, park-like land, this spacious 5-bedroom family home invites you to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with the beauty of the bush. With the Yarra River just a short stroll from the backyard, it’s the perfect place to recharge in peace while still enjoying the comfort of a classic family home.

The Space:
Welcome to our spacious North Warrandyte retreat, where comfort and tranquility come together in a beautiful bushland setting. This is not just a house—it’s a sanctuary where families and groups can truly unwind, surrounded by nature yet wrapped in all the comforts of home.

Our classic family home is spread across multiple living areas, giving everyone room to relax together or find their own quiet corner. The high ceilings, large windows, and warm timber floors create a sense of openness, while every window frames a view of the gardens or native bush.

With five bedrooms, each furnished with a king-sized bed, every guest can count on a restful night’s sleep. The 3.5 bathrooms are designed for convenience, ensuring there’s no waiting in line—perfect for groups or families traveling together.

The living spaces are designed for connection and relaxation. Share stories over a meal in the dining room, gather in the lounge for a movie on the Smart TV, or cozy up with a book while enjoying the peaceful outlook. For year-round comfort, the home features heating in every room and split-system cooling in the main living zones, two bedrooms, and the rumpus room.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook at home, including quality appliances and generous counter space. Whether you’re preparing a big family breakfast or a simple evening meal, you’ll feel right at home here.

Step outside and you’ll find yourself surrounded by nature. Enjoy a BBQ on the paved outdoor area while overlooking the gardens, watch for local wildlife passing through, or simply wander the grounds with a cup of coffee in hand. The property sits on over an acre of land, offering the rare gift of privacy and quiet, with the beautiful Yarra River just a short walk away through the back gate.

This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and immerse yourself in the calming rhythm of nature—while still having the space and comfort of a true family home.

Guest Access:
Guests will have private access to the entire home during their stay. That means all five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple living areas, kitchen, laundry, and outdoor spaces are yours to enjoy.

Self check-in makes arrival simple and stress-free.

Parking is available in the driveway (please note there is no garage).

The outdoor BBQ area is available for your use, perfect for relaxed meals in the fresh country air.
