Sibbel House
A mid century retreat in the heart of the Yarra Valley
Welcome to Sibbel House, a beautifully restored 1968 mid century home designed and built by Sibbel Builders and thoughtfully renovated in 2020. Set on two private acres with uninterrupted views towards Mount Riddle, this light filled country retreat blends architectural heritage with contemporary comfort.
Sleeping up to eight adults across four bedrooms including a separate self contained studio, Sibbel House is ideal for families, couples or friends seeking space, privacy and connection. From the moment you arrive, the landscape and design create a sense of calm. This is a place to slow down, gather and enjoy the simple pleasures of good company and beautiful surroundings.
Located just minutes from Healesville Main Street, Healesville Sanctuary, renowned wineries and walking trails, you are perfectly positioned to explore the Yarra Valley while retreating to your own private sanctuary.
Design and Comfort
The original architectural layout has been carefully preserved, honouring the social spirit of the late 1960s. Generous living spaces invite conversation, shared meals and relaxed evenings.
North facing windows flood the home with natural light and frame sweeping valley views. Interiors are fully furnished with Zuster pieces, creating a layered, tactile environment of marble, timber and velvet.
The home has been completely updated for year round comfort, including:
Underfloor heating
Air conditioning and heating in every room
High speed WiFi
New bathrooms and kitchen appliances
Sheer curtains and remote controlled block out blinds
65 inch Smart TVs in both the main house and studio
The main living and cocktail room features deep olive velvet seating, marble accents and curated details that nod to the glamour of the 1970s. It is equally suited to slow mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings with a drink in hand.
The Bedrooms
All bedrooms include heating and cooling, underfloor heating in winter, sheer curtains, remote controlled block out blinds, 100 percent flax linen by Bed Threads and Zuster designer furnishings.
The Olive Martini
The master suite features a queen bed, walk in his and hers wardrobes and a private ensuite. It overlooks the sculptural cactus front garden and captures soft morning light.
The Whiskey Sour
A serene queen bedroom with built in wardrobes and views to the side cactus garden. Calm and considered, it offers a quiet retreat within the home.
The Pink Flamingo
A double bedroom positioned on the north side of the home with views across the back garden towards Mount Riddle. This room shares the Olive Bathroom.
The Olive Bathroom includes a double basin vanity and a spacious double head shower, designed for both practicality and indulgence.
The Pina Colada Studio
Separate from the main house with its own private entrance, the studio is an open plan self contained space complete with kitchenette, lounge area, bathroom and 65 inch Smart TV.
Sleeping configuration includes:
One queen bed
Single bunk beds suitable for children
One additional single bed
The studio is ideal for a family with children or for guests seeking additional privacy while remaining connected to the main house.
Laundry
The fully equipped laundry includes a Miele washing machine, trough, ironing facilities, clothes rack and additional linen and towels for longer stays.
Outdoor Setting
The property sits on two acres of landscaped grounds with expansive valley views towards Mount Riddle. Open lawns, mature plantings and the sculptural cactus gardens create a distinctly Australian setting that feels both private and expansive.
Morning walks, sunset drinks and long lunches outdoors are part of the experience.
A Place to Gather
Sibbel House was originally built for family life and social connection. That spirit remains. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, gathering with friends or simply escaping the city, the home invites shared meals, conversation and quiet moments overlooking the valley.

We ask that you treat the property with care and respect:
No shoes inside
