Nestled in the heart of the renowned Yarra Valley wine region, Yarra Glen is a charming township known for its natural beauty, strong sense of community, and relaxed lifestyle. With a growing real estate market and lifestyle appeal, Yarra Glen is a destination for families, retirees, country lovers, and tourists alike.

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.

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.
