A natural setting with bush and coast to enjoy

The Bellbrae hinterland has much to offer those looking to live more sustainably in a natural environment close to the Great Ocean Road and the coast.

The Gundrys Road precinct has to be one of the most sought-after areas for lifestyle living with the road ending at the gateway to the Otway National Park.

With low traffic, large acreage holdings, and a pristine native environment, Gundrys Road residents are in it for the long hall, rarely letting go of their own private retreat.

Natural Real Estate has recently listed an incredible property on Gundrys Road, providing home hunters with a rare opportunity to make this part of the coast their home.

“As you turn off Gundrys Road and wind through a canopy of trees, the picturesque outlook sets the tone for what awaits.
