Some homes offer a place to live. Others offer a reason to slow down, breathe deeply and embrace a different pace of life. Set across an impressive 10,060m² (approx.), 65 Upper Paper Mills Road is a truly rare offering, where the charm of country living meets the convenience of a location close to everything Geelong has to offer.
Surrounded by established trees, picturesque gardens and expansive open space, this is a property that invites you to settle in and make the most of every moment. The residence offers four bedrooms, complemented by a separate study or sitting area, multiple living zones and a welcoming sense of space throughout. The main bedroom enjoys its own walk-in robe and ensuite, while the remaining accommodation is serviced by a central bathroom and separate toilet.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining and living areas provide a natural place for family to come together, while the additional living spaces allow room to spread out and find your own quiet corner. An enclosed alfresco area extends the home's entertaining possibilities, creating a comfortable setting for long lunches, relaxed evenings and gatherings with family and friends, with the surrounding greenery providing a beautiful backdrop.
Beyond the home, the grounds are where the true magic of this property begins. With 10,060m² (approx.) to enjoy, there is room to explore, entertain, garden and simply appreciate the freedom that comes with having space around you. Established trees and sweeping lawns create a picturesque setting, offering a sense of privacy and connection to nature that is becoming increasingly difficult to find so close to Geelong.
The lifestyle extends well beyond the boundary. Imagine taking a leisurely stroll down to the historic Fyansford Paper Mill precinct, where heritage buildings tell the story of the area's past and Provenance Wines provides the perfect setting for a long lunch or afternoon tasting. With Buckley Falls and the scenic Barwon River surrounds nearby, beautiful walking trails and natural landscapes are close at hand, inviting you to spend more time outdoors and discover the beauty of your surroundings.
And then there are the little things that make this property feel like a world of its own. Ducks wandering across the grounds, guinea fowl exploring the gardens, cockatoos passing overhead and multiple fruit trees among the greenery brings a wonderful sense of life to the landscape. Here, nature is not simply something to look at from a window; it becomes part of your everyday experience.
Adding further versatility is the extensive collection of shedding, workshop space, garaging and covered parking. Whether you need room for vehicles, hobbies, equipment or projects, the infrastructure offers flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.
Despite its peaceful, country-inspired setting, this remarkable property remains within easy reach of Geelong's shopping, schools, cafes, restaurants and everyday services, with convenient access to major roads for journeys towards the Surf Coast and beyond. It is this balance that makes the offering so compelling: a sense of escape without sacrificing connection.
Rarely does an opportunity arise to secure this much land, character and natural beauty in such a convenient location. At 65 Upper Paper Mills Road, the appeal goes beyond the home itself. It is the chance to create a lifestyle shaped by open space, rich history, native wildlife and the simple pleasure of feeling a world away, while having everything you need close by.
