Close to Everything, Yet Worlds Away

For almost 50 years, one family has cherished and cared for this extraordinary 10-acre (approx.) bush block — quite possibly the closest bush block to Geelong, and remarkably, to Melbourne too. This is a rare and unrepeatable offering: a rich, untouched pocket of Australian bushland now ready to welcome its next custodians.
A Cabin With Stories to Tell
Nestled right at the back on the block, the residence was architecturally designed by Ross Perrett and built by Bell & Fulton — and it has stood the test of time. Christmases, seasons, whole generations of family life have passed through these walls, and there's still plenty of life left in her.
The cabin is cosy, characterful, and full of clever design. Three good-sized bedrooms. A beautiful north-facing living room centred around a wood fire. An open-plan kitchen and dining space with generous storage. An updated bathroom with shower over bath, plus a separate toilet and laundry.
Set on a concrete slab that hasn't moved in decades, with exposed timber beams and a floorplan that makes clever use of every nook and cranny, this is a home designed by people who understood the land and the climate. Cosy in winter, and built to disperse heat in summer — no air conditioning needed, because that's simply not how they built things back then.
Utility mattered to the owners too: mains power was run all the way out to the house — no small feat for a block set this far back — along with tank water and a septic system already in place.
Room to Dream
There's work to do here, and that's exactly the point. Whether you renovate and extend the existing cabin, or start fresh and build your dream home (STCA), this block gives you the canvas — and 10 acres of established, self-sufficient bush to enjoy while you plan.
No neighbours in your eyeline. No lawns demanding attention every weekend — the bush largely takes care of itself. Just birdsong, tree canopy, native animals and space to breathe, all within a genuinely easy reach of two major cities.
