Best of both worlds

ACREAGE farming properties close to the Great Ocean Road are not only popular with lifestyle investors, they also attract buyers looking to expand their existing farming operations to be closer to the coast and enhance their lifestyle.

These properties give investors the chance to enjoy the best of both worlds: farming their own peaceful piece of rural paradise while having all the amenities of vibrant coastal town close at hand.

Charles Stewart’s recent Newfield listing fits this picture to a tee.

 

The property, at 1940 Cobden-Port Campbell Road, is just over 196 acres and is less than 10 minutes from Port Campbell and within easy reach of the Twelve Apostles and Shipwreck Coast, Peterborough and Timboon.

It offers easy access to Colac and Warrnambool and comprises two superb adjoining lots, each boasting delightful views and aspects.

Charles Stewart managing director, Michael Stewart, said the combination of a substantial farming holding across two titles, less than 10 minutes from Port Campbell, was a rare offering.

“There are so many opportunities here: farming and tourism pursuits, a weekend getaway near the beach, or just your very own lifestyle residence with plenty of room to move,” he said.

“The property already successfully produces hay and silage and grazes cattle with reliable water and rainfall.”

Lot A, known as the “Homestead”, spans about 100 acres and features a well-appointed, custom-designed masonry brick residence set within a private and picturesque setting.

Accommodation comprises four generous bedrooms – including a master with en suite and walk-in wardrobe – alongside an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, games room, family bathroom, office, outdoor decking and a wraparound veranda.

There is also a four-bay Colorbond workshop or garage, storage shed, and three-stand shearing shed with power.

Lot B, or the “Paddock”, adjoins Lot A and consists of about 96.2 acres of highly appealing land, offering expansive views across the Southern Ocean.

Both lots provide elevated, gently rolling, scenic country comprising versatile arable sandy loam to clay soils.

To be sold via expression of interest, closing 31 March at 2pm.
