Barwon River frontage with impressive infrastructure

WATER security defines the value of rural land, and this 73-acre holding between Winchelsea and Inverleigh sets a high benchmark, with extensive Barwon River frontage and infrastructure designed for long-term resilience.

Elders Geelong has recently listed the superb property with abundant water, at 1145 Inverleigh Winchelsea Road, Inverleigh. It is a holding that reveals itself gradually.

Beyond the long approach, the land opens wide to approximately 73 acres of productive countryside shaped by water, gentle rises and sheltering stands of mature trees. It is further enriched by approximately 1.5km of Barwon River frontage that adds both natural beauty and enduring value.

 

“Properties with this level of water security are exceptionally rare, and this holding is effectively drought-proofed with infrastructure that supports both lifestyle enjoyment and serious production,” Elders’ rural and lifestyle sales manager, Peter Lindeman, said.

“With extensive Barwon River frontage, quality soils and versatile irrigation, it offers genuine resilience and opportunity in a tightly held location west of Geelong.”

Two substantial dams sit at the heart of the property, lending visual calm and exceptional water security, further strengthened by a valuable 76 megalitre winter fill water licence. Clean, workable paddocks extend outward, well suited to grazing, horses or irrigation-based production.

 

The home is thoughtfully positioned between the two dams, featuring wide verandahs and decked edges that wrap the home, creating places to pause throughout the day, as the morning light moves across the lawn into long evenings overlooking the dam.

Inside, the layout is practical and well considered, with north-facing living and dining zones enjoying abundant natural light and direct outdoor access.

Three bedrooms are sensibly zoned, including a generous main with en suite, complemented by a separate study that offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom if required.

The home is supported by 45,000 litres of rainwater storage.

From a production perspective, this is a highly functional holding developed with efficiency and long-term productivity in mind.

 

The land is divided into well-designed paddocks with quality soils and reliable water throughout.

Approximately 5 acres are sown to annual rye and clover, complemented by a larger 40-acre paddock, with around 30 acres established to lucerne. The remaining 10 acres are rotated through rye, clover or oats.

A centre pivot irrigator services the lucerne, supported by underground power and a three-phase pressure pump.

Water infrastructure is a standout, with a 50-megalitre main dam and a 25-megalitre second dam, both stocked with fish, including Murray cod, yellow belly and bass.

A separate stock and domestic pump services troughs and the house sprinkler system. Shedding and working facilities are extensive, including a large machinery shed, hay shed, garage and stable complex with wash bay, carport and covered alfresco/work area.

Efficiently laid out and highly connected, the property is under five minutes to Inverleigh, 10 minutes to Winchelsea, 30 minutes to Geelong and approximately 85 minutes to Melbourne, offering an exceptional balance of lifestyle and serious agricultural capability.
