‘White Gum’ offers Otway hinterland lifestyle

The desire to embrace a hinterland lifestyle is gaining momentum, whether you’re looking to diversify with a farming venture or simply enjoy the peace and space of your own private sanctuary.

Top of mind for many treechangers looking for the ultimate lifestyle property is the foothills of the Otways, especially those areas still close to towns and the beach, which is why Deans Marsh tops the list.

A timely new listing from Elders Geelong could have you in your dream acreage property in time to reap the benefits of spring, an amazing time to be on the land.

This superbly located property on around 100 acres at 2030 Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road, Deans Marsh with the Otway Ranges as a backdrop, is primed ready for the next owner to create their forever rural oasis.

Elders rural and lifestyle sales manager Peter Lindeman said this could be a dream come true for those looking to slow the pace and enjoy the best of hinterland living on the Surf Coast.

“Whether you’re seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with space to farm for yourself, or envisioning a boutique agricultural venture or equine facility, ‘White Gum’ offers the versatility to bring your ambitions to life.

“Conveniently located, this is a rare chance to secure substantial acreage near the coast, with easy access to charming rural townships like Deans Marsh, Winchelsea, and Birregurra and less than an hour from Geelong.”

Set across gently undulating prime farmland, this rural holding offers a rare combination of space, versatility, and scenic outlooks rarely found so close to the Surf Coast.

‘White Gum’ blends regional seclusion with easy access to both coast and city, creating a unique lifestyle opportunity in the heart of the Otway hinterland.

At its centre, the original three-bedroom weatherboard cottage offers scope to renovate and extend or rebuild and features a generous living area with wood-fired heater, large front deck, unrenovated kitchen, and a second deck at the back door.

The property is divided into eleven paddocks, each watered by troughs fed from a dam and pump system, ideal for grazing, cropping, or equestrian pursuits.

Infrastructure includes machinery and hay sheds with multiple storage bays with the land’s topography and aspect supporting strong pasture growth and water retention, while mature trees offer natural shelter and privacy around the home.

A tree-lined driveway creates a welcoming first impression, leading to a peaceful setting immersed in nature.

Whether expanding agricultural operations, embracing a tree change, or establishing a family legacy, ‘White Gum’ is a rare find in a tightly-held region.

Just 25 minutes to Lorne, 27 minutes to Colac, and approximately 95 minutes to Melbourne, this is a standout opportunity in a picturesque and productive location. Inspections are highly recommended to appreciate the potential lifestyle opportunity.
