9 Paynes Road

A ten-acre holding of this kind usually arrives as bare ground and a list of approvals to chase. This one is considerably further along. The infrastructure that ordinarily consumes the first year of ownership is already complete: mains power and mains water are connected, the paddocks are fenced and hot-wired through the middle and rear, water is reticulated the full length of the western boundary to troughs in the far paddock, and the hay shed has been rebuilt with its own tank and a full security camera system. With animal shelters in place, the land is ready to carry stock from day one. Beyond its working credentials, the property carries approved plans and permits for a family residence, a pool, a shed, a new crossover and driveway, and a new bridge crossing. The lengthy planning phase has already been navigated on your behalf. The approved home has been designed for a growing household, including three living zones, a lounge and dining room, a kids retreat with plenty of room, floor to ceiling picture windows in all the living areas frame the beautiful outlook and the rear patio opens the house to outdoor entertaining. There is also a study, a kitchen with walk-in pantry, a main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, three further bedrooms with robes, a central bathroom, laundry, ample storage throughout and an external toilet. Parking is generous too, with a double garage, plus a second single, a shed, two storerooms and a water tank. Framing all of it are ten private acres (approx) on the edge of the Yarra Valley. Acclaimed wineries, walking and cycling trails, Chirnside Park Country Club and Chirnside Park Shopping Centre are all close at hand, along with equestrian facilities and well-regarded schools including Oxley Christian College and Lilydale Heights College. Public transport and the major arterials remain within easy reach. With acreage on this scale, there is room well beyond the approved footprint: space for a tennis court to sit alongside the planned pool, and open ground enough for children to run, for friends to gather, and for weekends to slow to a relaxed pace. Whether the future holds a residence built to the endorsed plans, a hobby farm, or the first rows of a boutique vineyard, the essential groundwork has already been laid, giving you the space of the country without cutting yourself off from daily essentials.
