Strathewen Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Nestled in the foothills of the Kinglake Ranges, the suburb is predominantly covered by the Rural Conservation Zone and Green Wedge Zone, which dictates a low-density environment of large acreage properties, protecting the lush greenery and rugged terrain of the area.

The housing stock consists mainly of spacious family homes and rural lifestyle properties set on substantial parcels of cleared or partly cleared land, appealing strongly to established families and professionals who prioritise privacy, space, and a connection to the natural environment.

Residents benefit from the community’s focus on the natural environment, with the Strathewen Reserve providing a grass oval and sports pavilion, and the local Strathewen Primary School operating with an intimate, small-school environment and excellent facilities that draw families to the area.

While there are no major commercial centres, the community is highly engaged, and connectivity is managed via a short drive to the major transport and retail hubs of Hurstbridge and Kinglake, which offer direct rail links and comprehensive amenities.

For investors and lifestyle buyers, Strathewen represents a niche, high-value market where the premium on scarcity of land, conservation zoning, and the enduring strength of the local community ensures stable value and long-term appreciation for its exclusive rural properties.
