This superb parcel of land has been in the same family ownership since it was first bought at auction from the Port Phillip Association in the mid 1850’s, in what was the first decade of the Colony of Victoria. An extremely rare opportunity now presents itself to the discerning buyer wanting a well positioned, yet private rural lifestyle property within minutes of the Geelong Ring Road, 15 minutes to Geelong’s CBD, 25 minutes to Surf Coast beaches and an hour to Melbourne. The 32.27 hectare, (approx. 80 acre), property is beautifully elevated and offers views to Geelong and the majestic Barrabool Hills, providing any number of possible home sites to take full advantage of the rural views; (STCA). More than a country getaway, the property offers the perfect mix of semi-rural living with scale for secondary income. The property is zoned Farming Zone (FZ) and perfectly suited to a lamb or beef fattening enterprise, or alternatively a stud animal or equine operation. Currently sown down to a fodder crop, the property’s gentle undulation ensures excellent drainage. Stock water is supplied by a large dam filled by a seasonal watercourse which traverses the property, providing the perfect picnic destination. There are several well established old gum trees scattered throughout the property which provide habitat as well as other more recent established native tree plantations. This property has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Inspection strictly by appointment with the selling agent.
