Spectacular Natural Bushland ready to Build

78 Acres of Bushland, Creek & Culture – A Rare Opportunity Beside the Budj Bim World Heritage Landscape

Some properties are simply parcels of land.

Others invite you to imagine a different way of living.

Nestled in the heart of Southwest Victoria, this remarkable 78-acre (31.57 ha) property offers the rare opportunity to build a life surrounded by nature, privacy and one of Australia’s most significant cultural landscapes.

Whether you dream of creating a family sanctuary, an off-grid retreat, a peaceful rural lifestyle or simply escaping the pace of city life, this property provides the space and freedom to make that vision your own.

Originally purchased as our family’s forever place, changing work commitments have taken them in a different direction. Their change of plans create a genuine opportunity for someone else to realise the dream they once held.

A Place Where Families Can Thrive

Imagine children exploring bush tracks, discovering native wildlife, building cubby houses, fishing, camping under the stars and growing up surrounded by open space rather than busy streets.

This is the kind of property where memories are made across generations.

With abundant birdlife, native bush and the peaceful sounds of nature, every season brings something new to discover.

Darlots Creek – A Beautiful Natural Feature

Much of the southern boundary follows picturesque Darlots Creek, creating a beautiful natural setting that adds character, tranquillity and ecological value to the property.

Spend quiet mornings beside the water, enjoy walks along the creek or simply appreciate the peace that only a landscape like this can offer.

Live Beside One of the World’s Great Cultural Landscapes

Located close to the internationally recognised Budj Bim World Heritage Landscape, this property sits within Country that tells one of humanity’s oldest continuing stories.

Budj Bim is home to the world’s oldest known aquaculture system and reflects over 6,000 years of continuous Gunditjmara engineering, culture and connection to Country.

Living here means becoming part of a landscape unlike anywhere else in Australia.
