Description: If privacy, space and natural beauty define your idea of luxury, this exceptional rural holding offers a rare chance to secure almost 62 acres (approx. 247,600sqm) of rich red volcanic soil, rolling pasture and native bushland in one of the most tightly held pockets of Spa Country. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Glenlyon and Daylesford, this remarkable vacant parcel invites you to create your dream country retreat (STCA) in an environment of complete peace and seclusion. A captivating mix of open grazing land and private forest, the property unfolds with gently undulating paddocks complemented by walking trails winding through majestic Messmate, Peppermint and Manna Gums. Abundant native flora and wildlife thrive here, with birds and animals drawn to the natural waterways and tranquil bush setting. The land is thoughtfully divided into six large, fully fenced paddocks, all cleared and ideal for specialty livestock such as alpacas or Highland cattle, while a rustic bush shelter offers a charming spot for secluded picnics or quiet reflection. Adding further appeal, the Wombat State Forest directly opposite is soon to be declared a National Park, enhancing both lifestyle and long-term value. Water security is well catered for with two dams, including a substantial dam on the Glenlyon side that is nearly four times the size of the southern dam on the Wheatsheaf boundary. Three-phase power is available at the Lightwood Drive boundary, and access is via a stone driveway with an impressive double-gate entrance. Zoned Farming, the land exceeds Hepburn Shire Council's minimum 50-acre requirement for a dwelling, and while a previous planning permit has lapsed, the potential building envelope and elevated positions offer breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. Remarkably private yet superbly connected, the property lies just 2km from the heart of Glenlyon village, approximately eight minutes to Daylesford's main street and supermarkets, 35 minutes to Ballarat and a little over an hour from Melbourne. It is an increasingly rare offering, perfectly suited to families, tree-changers or investors seeking a secluded rural escape in one of Australia's most desirable regional destinations. With renowned cafes, galleries, restaurants, community facilities and celebrated day spas nearby, this is country living at its most rewarding. An inspection is essential to truly appreciate the scale, beauty and potential of this outstanding lifestyle opportunity. Please contact Gary Cooke or Ashlee McKee to arrange your private viewing.
