A rare opportunity to secure 3.5 acres of beautiful, cleared land at Durham Lead, just 6.8km from Buninyong and a short drive to Ballarat.
Much of the hard work has already been done. The property has an approved planning permit for a home and shed, with the house carefully designed and positioned to make the most of the rural outlook and views.
The approved plans provide an excellent starting point for someone wanting to move ahead with their build, while still allowing the opportunity to amend the design to suit individual needs, subject to the usual approvals.
The property comprises 3.5 acres on one consolidated title, offering a manageable lifestyle block with plenty of room for a substantial home, shed, gardens, animals and outdoor living, without the maintenance of a much larger acreage property.
Location is one of the real strengths of this property. Pioneer Lane is a quiet country lane, yet the block is only approximately 130 metres from the bitumen road. Turn the other way and it is a short walk to the state forest.
Buninyong is just 6.8km away, with Ballarat approximately 13km beyond Buninyong, while Geelong is approximately 80km away.
There is also an interesting piece of local history attached to the property. Durham Lead was once a thriving goldfields township, and the land incorporates original township titles from those early days, now consolidated into a single 3.5-acre title.
For buyers who have been looking for a small acreage property close to Buninyong, this offers something increasingly difficult to find: usable cleared land, rural surroundings, an approved planning permit and house and shed plans already in place.
