About Yarra Glen
Real Estate Overview
The Yarra Glen property market offers a diverse mix of homes – from established residences and new builds to expansive acreage properties with sweeping views of vineyards and rolling hills. The area's steady property value growth reflects increasing demand from buyers drawn to its peaceful setting and proximity to key lifestyle attractions.
Subdivision in recent years has introduced more residential options within the town centre, while properties on the outskirts offer larger blocks and rural ambiance. Homes with scenic vistas or close proximity to the wineries are particularly sought after.
Lifestyle & Community
Yarra Glen embodies country charm with a focus on community and the outdoors. The town hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Yarra Valley Wine and Food Festival, monthly Farmers Markets, and the vibrant Yarra Glen Races at the local racecourse – which also serves as a venue for polo matches, rodeos, and family-friendly festivals.
For everyday living, the town features a local supermarket, cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, antique stores, and an art gallery. The historic Grand Hotel is a local favorite for live music and casual dining.
Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy access to hiking trails, cycling routes, and fishing in the nearby Yarra River. The town is ideal for those seeking “clean and green” living with plenty of parks and recreation options.

Yarra Glen is home to a Primary School and Pre-School, with secondary schools available approximately 15 minutes away in Lilydale. While the town offers essential services and local shops, residents also benefit from nearby retail hubs in Healesville and Lilydale for larger shopping needs.
