1868 Melba Highway, Dixons Creek, Vic 3775

A life of serenity, self-sufficiency, and breathtaking beauty awaits on this enchanting 2.5-acre (approx.) property in Dixons Creek, offered for the first time in 30 years. Nestled among rolling hills, verdant pastures, and the heart of the Yarra Valley’s wine country, this is your chance to embrace a lifestyle where nature, comfort, and space to live your dreams come together seamlessly. 

As you arrive, twin gated entrances welcome you home, linked by a wisteria-clad arbor that doubles as a natural carport. Fragrant blooms and dappled light set the tone for what lies beyond - a home beautifully oriented to take in the stunning landscape. 

Inside, an open plan living and meals area flows effortlessly into a contemporary kitchen, where sleek SMEG appliances, stone waterfall benches, an integrated dishwasher drawer, and a breakfast bar promise both practicality and flair. Warm timber floors and the crackle of a Lopi wood fire greet you in the separate lounge, creating a cosy haven for winter evenings. 

When it’s time to unwind, the generously proportioned main bedroom, complete with a walk-in robe and renovated spa ensuite, offers a private retreat for the heads of the house. Two additional robed bedrooms are serviced by a chic family bathroom showcasing a luxe rain shower and bespoke vanity - perfect for guests or family alike. 

Step outside to the all-season deck that extends your living space into the garden, where panoramic vistas of rolling hills, a neighbouring dam and your own majestic waterlily-filled dam steal the show. Whether you’re watching the sunrise cast a golden glow or the moonlight’s reflection ripple across the water, this ethereal setting is pure magic. 

The lush garden room, framed by roses, a weeping cherry tree, and a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms (irises, daffodils, jonquils, windflowers, penstemon & hibiscus), is your front-row seat to spring’s awakening. Picture quiet mornings here with a steaming coffee in hand, the air perfumed by magnolias and the sound of birdsong breaking the silence. 

For those seeking versatility, a powered studio with split-system heating and cooling is ready to inspire. Whether as an artist’s retreat, home office, or gym, the choice is yours. Meanwhile, a vast under-house workshop with vehicle access and vast storage is a dream for tinkerers and hobbyists.

The property’s appeal doesn’t stop at its beauty - self-sufficiency is at your fingertips. Plentiful fruit trees (nashi pear, apple, mandarin, peach, apricot & plum), a veggie patch, ponds, a winter creek, a potting area with sink, water tanks, a bore, and an 8kW solar system provide the means to live sustainably. The fully fenced land also offers potential for housing chickens, goats, alpacas, or even a pony among the verdant grounds. 

And let’s not forget the location. Surrounded by world-class wineries and gourmet produce, minutes from the charm and conveniences of Yarra Glen, 20 minutes to Lilydale, and just over an hour to Melbourne’s CBD. This is country living with the perfect balance of escape and convenience. 

With every corner inviting connection to the land and every feature designed for ease, this property is more than a home - it’s a lifestyle, waiting to be lived. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
