Smith Agri International (SAI) is proud to present this exceptionally well-located plantation property for sale.
Currently being commercially clear-felled, this property is considered highly productive and ideally suited for easy reversion to a host of alternative agricultural uses, hobby farm development and/or lifestyle pursuits. Equally, the property may lend itself to re-establishment as plantation or farm forestry, with potential government financial incentives available through the Victorian Trees on Farms Program, subject to application, eligibility and approval.
Comprising 32.37 hectares / 79.99 acres, the property provides a rare blank footprint in a tightly held rural district, offering incoming purchasers the opportunity to plan, establish and develop their preferred rural enterprise or private country escape from the ground up.
Located on the corner of Grubbed Road, being a continuation of Flemings Road, and Souths Road, Grenville / Enfield, Victoria, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting within the broader Mount Mercer, Enfield and Buninyong district. The surrounding landscape is well known for its productive agricultural land, open grazing country, plantation forestry, volcanic plains, rural vistas and easy access to established regional services.
The broader district is framed by notable natural and rural landmarks including Mount Mercer, Mount Buninyong, Mount Warrenheip and nearby Enfield State Park, a recognised nature-based recreation area offering bushland, walking tracks, wildlife habitat and quiet outdoor amenity. This combination of productive land, open space and natural surroundings makes the property particularly appealing for purchasers seeking a balance between agricultural potential and lifestyle enjoyment.
The property's post-harvest condition provides an excellent starting point for future land-use planning. Subject to relevant approvals, the land may lend itself to grazing, pasture improvement, horticultural pursuits, equine interests, hobby farming, revegetation, agroforestry, farm infrastructure or a private rural retreat. Its scale is large enough to support meaningful rural use, while remaining manageable for weekend or lifestyle buyers.
