Eyton-on-Yarra - Physical Description 1
Eyton-on-Yarra is a large 788 acre property on the cleared Yarra flats between Dalry Road and the Warramate Hills. The property has two driveways leading to the homestead from the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road, including a section along the valley, which extends for 1.5 kilometres within the property. Mature and immature exotic and native trees are planted along this drive.
This property was not able to be inspected during the present study, although the imposing house and its extensive established tree-lined drive and garden were viewed from the roadside. The main farm house and gardens were described by Francine Gilfedder in a report to the Shire of Yarra Ranges in 1999.
The main house is a large double-storey white brick house with a slate roof surrounded by mature plantings, and has a small ornamental front garden. Another residence and other farm buildings and garden structures are located around the property. An earlier 'station house' is said to have been recently removed from the property to another location within the district. The hills to the west of the property, which are a mix of forested, cleared and planted slopes, provide a striking setting for the homestead along with its river frontage and the surrounding pastures.
The report by Gilfedder (1999) recommends that a number of trees be retained because of their heritage significance, social value and contribution to the landscape values of this property. These include: oaks, Monterey pine, redwood, Canary Island pine and Monterey cypress trees.Eyton-on-Yarra - Physical Conditions
