Overview

Nature, Lifestyle & Investment in One - Three dwellings on a single title!

Tucked away in the peaceful township of Beech Forest, this remarkable property offers an inspiring mix of lifestyle, flexibility, and natural beauty in the heart of the Great Otway National Park. Set on a generous 2,415sqm allotment, these three self-contained cottages present an incredibly rare opportunity. Whether you’re a savvy buyer looking to live in one and lease the others as short-term holiday rentals with a strong return, or a multi-generational family or group of friends seeking a shared holiday investment, this property truly ticks all the boxes. At the top of the property sits a beautifully presented three-bedroom main residence with its own driveway and rural amenities. On the lower side, with a separate entrance from Buchanan Street, are two newly built, fully self-contained one-bedroom cabins, providing excellent flexibility for dual occupancy or multi-family living. The Main Cottage The original three-bedroom home combines warmth and charm with modern updates. Its open-plan living and dining space takes in sweeping views across the Otway Ranges, enhanced by timber-look flooring. The refreshed kitchen is well equipped with induction cooking, a new oven, and custom cabinetry. A new 9kW split-system and wood fire ensure comfort through every season. New carpet flows through the bedrooms, while the bathroom has been thoughtfully updated. Outdoors, the home has recently been upgraded with Colourbond cladding and double-glazed windows for enhanced comfort and energy efficiency. Outside a specious deck inviting you to take in the spectacular panoramic views, among the very best in Beech Forest. The Two One-Bedroom Cabins Set apart with their own driveways and rural amenities, the Cockatoo and Kookaburra Cottages are modern one-bedroom cabins, perfect for guests, extended family, or friends seeking a serene escape. Each features a light-filled open-plan layout with stylish flooring, a compact kitchen with induction cooking, and a comfortable living area warmed by a 2.7kW split-system and an electric log fire. The spacious bedrooms offer built-in storage, while the sleek bathrooms include walk-in showers. The Lifestyle This is a place where nature is your neighbour. Towering Redwoods, Spectacular Waterfalls, and scenic bushwalks are all close at hand, with the Otway Fly Treetop Adventure Park nearby for family fun. The Great Ocean Road and Twelve Apostles are within easy reach, while Apollo Bay and Colac provide shopping and essential services. This is more than just real estate, it’s a rare chance to enjoy space, comfort, and versatility in one of Victoria’s most beautiful regions. Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful family haven, dual occupancy lifestyle, or shared retreat, this unique Beech Forest property delivers it all. *All information about the property has been provided to Richardson Real Estate by third parties.
