Escape to Your Private Rural Retreat - Just 2km from Yarragon & 90 Minutes from Melbourne
Rarely does a property of such calibre and uniqueness come to market.
Tucked away only 2km from the thriving Yarragon township and just 125km (approx. 90 minutes) from Melbourne, this extraordinary 31approx acre holding (12.17 hectares across two titles) offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure your own private sanctuary.
With a history as the renowned Strzelecki Wildlife Reserve, this property was once a destination for families to enjoy fishing, boating, and the beauty of native wildlife.
The centrepiece remains: the former Yarragon water supply lake - fully surrounded by natural bushland and majestic established gums. From the lake, a cascading causeway flows year-round into the creek that winds its way toward Yarragon township. Elevated vantage points across the property provide stunning views that complete this idyllic setting.
