Clematis Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Clematis offers a serene, close-knit lifestyle set against the lush greenery of the Dandenong Ranges foothills. Located 42 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD within the Shire of Cardinia, this peaceful pocket is home to a small community that values its tranquil, semi-rural atmosphere. The local lifestyle is defined by the natural environment, with the property market primarily consisting of detached houses, often set on generous blocks. Architectural styles in the area range from charming older weatherboard homes and classic brick-veneer family residences to impressive contemporary designs that integrate seamlessly with the surrounding bushland.

Residents enjoy essential local amenities including the historic Clematis Hotel, a local general store, and the Clematis Fire Station, while the Puffing Billy Railway adds a unique heritage character to the town with its own dedicated station. Families are well-served by the proximity to neighbouring Emerald, which provides access to primary schools, supermarkets, and diverse dining options. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore local parklands covering a significant portion of the suburb’s area, offering various walking tracks and scenic reserves right at their doorstep. With high owner-occupancy rates, Clematis is a stable and welcoming community that perfectly balances quiet country living with convenient access to the wider Yarra Ranges region.
