Otway haven is region sweet spot

HINTERLAND  living at the foot of the Otways is something special, with the sweet spot being smack bang between Yeodene, Barwon Downs and Forrest.

Gerangamete was one of the first Otway settlements before the railhead that created Forrest was established, leaving this area steeped in history and character.

 

Charles Stewart has recently listed a superb acreage lifestyle and farming holding in this well-regarded Otway foothill region.

Situated on just under 130 acres, “Kelly’s Farm” at 2045 Colac-Forrest Road, Gerangamete is refined country living just 15 minutes from Colac and Birregurra.

Positioned in one of the region’s most picturesque settings, Kelly’s Farm offers an exceptional combination of luxury country living and quality farming close to regional towns and under one hour to the Great Ocean Road and its beautiful beaches.

 

Charles Stewart property consultant Daryl Oborne said the property was a very charming offering.

“Boasting country style homestead living on a large holding at the foot of the Otways is the dream of many lifestyle investors,” he said.

“Whether you’re looking to farm, start a new venture of your own, or just looking to live a more relaxed life on your own sanctuary, Kelly’s Farm is an opportunity to change things up.

 

“You may also wish to make it a great escape pad while earning income from a proven holiday accommodation earner.”

Set on approximately 130 acres of gently undulating land with direct Barwon River frontage, this outstanding property captures breathtaking views of the Otway Ranges towards Deans Marsh and Lorne.

The land presents an ideal balance of fertile, weed-free pastures and scattered native bushland, creating both productivity and aesthetic appeal.

 

 

A strong fertiliser and pasture history underpin the property’s ongoing performance, while excellent fencing throughout ensures practicality for livestock management.

Water security is assured via three reliable dams, complemented by quality infrastructure that includes a large machinery shed with loft, steel stockyards with race and crush, and additional sundry shedding.

The impressive five-bedroom homestead is a true showcase of refined country style.

 

The upstairs master suite provides a private retreat complete with en suite, walk-in robe, and a parent’s sitting area that enjoys stunning rural outlooks.

The home features three spacious living zones, including a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and family area that flows effortlessly onto the veranda, perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing while taking in the panoramic views across the district.

Kelly’s Farm has been running as a successful Airbnb business for over eight years, with income earnings up to $50,000 per annum.

Thoughtfully designed interiors feature a tasteful combination of hardwood and tiled flooring, adding warmth and character throughout.

A three-quarter wrap-around country-style veranda frames the home beautifully, offering multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Set amidst established, low-maintenance gardens, the residence sits perfectly within the landscape, exuding charm and serenity.

To be sold via expression of interest, closing Friday, January 23 at noon.
