We are proud to present the iconic Melba Lodge to the market - a grand two-storey weatherboard residence and one of Yarra Glen's most recognisable properties. Offering an impressive ten bedrooms and eight bathrooms, this landmark home is perfectly suited for upsizers, multi-generational living, or astute investors seeking a premier Airbnb opportunity in the heart of the Yarra Valley.
The ground floor is designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. A generous living room flows effortlessly into the formal dining space and an inviting sitting room, with the added indulgence of a well-appointed wet bar - the perfect backdrop for hosting family and friends. A powder room is conveniently located nearby, while the kitchen will delight culinary enthusiasts with its substantial industrial-style layout, huge butler's pantry, and an additional walk-in pantry, making catering for any occasion a breeze.
At the opposite end of the home, a cosy family room with soaring ceilings and a wood fire heater creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere. From here, a hallway leads to five of the ten bedrooms, four of which enjoy private ensuites with shower, toilet, and vanity. The ground-floor master suite is a truly expansive retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a double vanity, shower, and toilet.
Upstairs, a second master suite awaits, offering its own walk-in robe and refined ensuite with double vanity, shower, and toilet. A communal bathroom on this level, with bath, shower, vanity, and toilet, enjoys a serene view over the backyard. Three additional bedrooms are located here, along with a versatile storage room and a spacious living zone that offers another space for relaxation or gatherings.
Attached to the main house is a self-contained studio with its own private entrance, providing a perfect option for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. The studio comprises its own kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, a comfortable bedroom, and an ensuite, ensuring complete independence and privacy.
Beyond the interiors, the property continues to impress. A sprawling covered entertainment deck and outdoor living area make the most of the beautiful Yarra Glen setting, while landscaped gardens are secured by a fully fenced perimeter and remote-controlled gates.
A substantial 8 m x 12 m concreted shed and workshop, complete with power and three-phase supply, offers exceptional storage and workspace. Additional premium features include rich hardwood floorboards, gas log heating, reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning, and ducted heating and cooling, ensuring comfort in every season.
With its remarkable scale, flexible layout, and unbeatable location, Melba Lodge is a property of rare distinction - ready to be enjoyed as a magnificent private home or transformed into a highly sought-after accommodation venture.
