123 Monbulk-Seville Road, Silvan VIC 3795

The chance to escape suburbia and retreat to 16 acres (approx.) in the Yarra Valley where waking up to the sounds of nature and the smells of clean air will remind you every morning why you made the move to this magical part of the world, Silvan.

Privately positioned at the end of a lengthy driveway that gives you distance between you and the road, this quiet retreat owned by the same family the last 60 years is ready for a splash of revival and for someone with vision to re-create the three-bedroom family home into something even more special and comfortable, and to either maintain the land as a lifestyle property if it's just land that you want around you, or to actually utilize what you have and grow produce or accommodate livestock. Either way, the possibilities are endless.

Currently producing crops of delicious strawberries, the soil here is ideal for fruit and veggie crops. There's already a few fruit trees on the property as well as shedding which can be utilized as stock rooms or machinery accommodation. There's also the opportunity to sub-let the land to tenants who want to grow their own produce.

The home itself is a single storey traditional brick which faces North and features two living rooms, a large kitchen and meals area, separate dining room with air conditioner, the inclusion of ducted heating and a main bathroom with separate toilet. A large laundry and store room as well as a cellar occupy the lower level.

Only a short commute to Mount Evelyn and Lilydale, it's a great place to raise kids and provide them with a grounding upbringing with schools, bus services and shops close by.
