Overview

This expansive property offers a rare development opportunity on 28 hectares (approximately 68 acres) with approved plans for a five-lot subdivision, combining a strong investment potential with lifestyle versatility. Located just 7.5 kilometres from Bendigo’s central business district, the site benefits from a serene rural setting backed by the Longlea Commonwealth Area, while offering convenient access to essential services such as town water, power, and NBN connectivity.

The land is predominantly flat and partially cleared, primarily towards the front, with secure fenced boundaries. Existing infrastructure includes two dams, a large brick garage/workshop, a substantial 15m x 15m shed suitable for industrial or heavy vehicle storage, and various ancillary sheds — assets that enhance the functional value of the property for agricultural or commercial uses.

The five proposed lots range in size and characteristics, with building envelopes thoughtfully designated to maximise utility and comply with low-density residential zoning:

Lot 1 (4.64 ha) - Partially treed, featuring a 500m² building envelope
Lot 2 (19.76 ha) - Mostly treed, includes a large dam, powered shed, and multiple water tanks, with an 800m² building envelope
Lot 3 (1.01 ha) - House lot containing the existing family residence and extensive brick garage/workshop facilities
Lot 4 (1.19 ha) - Mostly cleared with powerline easements and a 500m² building envelope; driveway access to Popes Road included
Lot 5 (1.05 ha) - Mostly cleared with some restrictions from powerline easements; includes a 500m² building envelope

The residence itself, constructed in the mid-1970s and well maintained by the original owners, offers spacious living across four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master suite features an ensuite with triple built-in robes, while other bedrooms come carpeted with sliding built-in robes. The home’s layout caters well to both family living and home office or media needs, with a second living/media room and a separate study complemented by a generous main lounge and kitchen-meals area. The kitchen benefits from modern appliances and overlooks a paved outdoor patio perfect for year-round entertaining.

Outdoor amenities enhance daily living: a four-car carport, full perimeter shaded veranda with paving, a large alfresco, 7kw of solar power capacity, two concrete water tanks, and a 10m x 8m brick garage with double roller doors and workshop space complete the picture. This property is suited for buyers seeking a blend of rural lifestyle and development potential, whether looking to restructure the land or upgrade the residence over time.
