A ready-to-go opportunity is this 9.96-acre (approx) bushland property that combines privacy and potential. With a permit already in place to build, and a large dam, a rustic shack, an alfresco dining area, and even a pedal boat, this is your chance to create a sustainable lifestyle retreat with a head start.
Zoned Residential Living and surrounded by native bushland, the land features gently undulating terrain and an expansive dam that serves as both a scenic centrepiece and a practical water source. The property offers exceptional privacy, making it ideal for those looking to embrace a slower, off-grid lifestyle in harmony with nature.
A modest shack and open-air alfresco dining area provide an instant base for weekend escapes or short stays while you bring your long-term vision to life. Whether you are enjoying an outdoor meal under the stars or a relaxing paddle around the dam in your pedal boat, the property encourages a connection to the land, to the outdoors, and to a more mindful way of living.
The existing planning permit to build allows you to move forward with confidence, saving time and effort in the development process. Whether your dream is a low-impact tiny home, an off-grid dwelling, or a thoughtfully designed eco retreat (STCA), this site provides the ideal foundation.
Despite the sense of seclusion, the location is exceptionally well-connected. You are just twelve minutes from Malmsbury, where historic charm meets village essentials, including cafes, gardens and a train station. A short 28-minute drive places you in Daylesford, renowned for its mineral springs, day spas, dining and boutique shopping-while Castlemaine, a creative hub of galleries, markets and artisan makers, is just 30 minutes away. For those needing access to the city, the Calder Freeway provides a smooth and scenic route to Melbourne in around 70 minutes.
Beyond the property itself, the surrounding region offers endless natural beauty and lifestyle benefits, from forest walks and wildlife spotting to exploring local wineries, weekend markets and historic towns. Whether you are planning to build your forever home, a weekend hideaway, or landbank for the future, this property offers peace, potential and a unique slice of regional Victoria's natural charm.
