Hidden gem in the secluded foothills of Mount Anakie

Lifestyle properties are highly sought by those who wish to escape the rat race and take a step back to enjoy life in harmony with the land.

The urge to live life at your own pace can be strong, and so the search begins for an acreage lifestyle property where you can experience a more favourable work life balance.

Our region’s hinterland areas are ideal for this, and Anakie is a standout location being in close proximity to Geelong and Melbourne with some of the best smaller regional communities within easy reach.

Elders recent Anakie listing is position perfect, offering over 50 acres of productive land to undertake agricultural, tourism or environmental projects that suit your lifestyle.

With Mount Anakie a immediate backdrop to the property, the Brisbane ranges sitting gracefully in the distance, and the popular Del Rios Winery at your doorstep, 175 Mount Road Anakie is the perfect getaway or lifestyle opportunity.

Tucked away in the scenic countryside of Anakie, this 57 acre rural property is an exciting opportunity for those seeking a blend of sustainability, creative space, and room to roam. With five smaller grazing paddocks and balance of land reserved for cropping by a neighbouring farmer, this property offers endless possibilities for the aspiring hobby farmer or lifestyle enthusiast.

Elders rural and lifestyle sales manager Peter Lindeman said the opportunities are abundant with this perfectly located property.

“This hidden gem offers a secluded rural lifestyle in one of the regions most admired hinterland locations.

“The sale represents a great opportunity to purchase in a tightly-held, sought-after precinct with easy access to Geelong and Melbourne.”

The property is thoughtfully designed to embrace self-sufficiency and comfort.

A dam supplies water via a 22,500 litre tank to the troughs in the grazing paddocks, as well as the two netted vegetable patches and a polytunnel greenhouse, allowing for year-round homegrown produce.

Sustainability is further supported by the 4.1kW solar system with two 5kW batteries, which supplements power to the home and EV charger in the oversized garage.

Water is supplied to the house by two 22,500 litre capacity rainwater tanks.

The main house is a fusion of rustic charm and modern touches and downstairs burnished concrete floors with colourful pigments create an eye-catching foundation.

A wood-fired heater adds warmth, while windows capture views of the lush garden and nearby fire pit area.

Sliding doors open to a rear yard to the south and a serene, Japanese-inspired garden to the north, a perfect sunny spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the mist lifts off the fields beyond.

The kitchen features stainless steel benchtops, modern appliances, and a rustic wooden bench that holds years of character.

Upstairs, the master suite is a private retreat with angled ceilings, a study nook, ensuite and an oversized walk-in robe that could easily convert into a nursery or additional workspace, if required.

Large picture windows provide views of the gum-lined drive and rolling hills beyond.

In addition to the main house, the property includes a converted garage that functions as an artist’s studio, complete with a third bedroom and ensuite upstairs.

This could be transformed into a short-stay rental, adding income potential to your lifestyle property.

A 7x8m workshop with a loft also offers endless opportunities, whether as a trade workshop or future accommodation.

Located just outside of Anakie within thirty minutes of central Geelong and around an hour to Melbourne, this property will suit buyers looking for a green change with the option of commuting for work as required.

With its sustainable features, creative spaces, and rural charm, this is an exciting opportunity to live your rural lifestyle dream.
