Your Life in Lilydale

Kinley is where Melbourne's east meets something genuinely special. Set on the grounds of a former quarry and dairy factory that has shaped this part of Lilydale for over 140 years, the estate has been reimagined with deep respect for its heritage, preserving historic lime kilns, silos, and the old Bacon and Dairy Factory buildings within a beautifully designed Heritage Quarter that gives the community a character and soul no new estate can manufacture.
Nature is everywhere at Kinley. Around 19 hectares of open space will be preserved and enhanced across the estate, including wetlands, native reserves, urban plazas, sports fields, and walking and cycling trails linking residents to Lilydale Lake, the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail, and Lilydale's vibrant Main Street. With Lilydale Train Station just moments away, Eastlink and the Eastern Freeway providing swift access to Melbourne CBD and Ringwood, and the Yarra Valley's world-famous food, wine, and outdoor experiences on the doorstep, life at Kinley offers an outstanding everyday and weekend lifestyle.

Community matters at Kinley

Kinley holds the distinction of being a 6 Green Star Communities-rated estate, a "world-leading" accreditation from the Green Building Council of Australia, recognising excellence across community design, environmental performance, and sustainability. As the last major parcel of undeveloped land east of Melbourne's CBD, Kinley represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to be part of something historic, a new community built on the foundations of 140 years of Lilydale's story.
The masterplan's future Village Centre will bring specialty shops, a café, and activated public spaces to the heart of the estate, while a proposed dedicated Kinley train station, links to Box Hill Institute, and a proposed government specialist school will further cement the community's long-term liveability. With several stage sell-outs already behind it and strong ongoing demand from buyers seeking Melbourne's east, Kinley is proving that when history, sustainability, and smart design come together, the result is extraordinary. Simonds Homes is proud to be part of that story.
