Property Details for 56 Buchter Rd, Batesford
Last Listing description (June 2025)
The historically significant "Lawrence Park" lies outside the charming rural village of Batesford. Set on 268 acres (108 hectares) of gently rolling hills and Moorabool River frontage representing an incredibly rare and unique lifestyle opportunity. Just minutes from the Geelong Ring Road, the property enjoys quick and easy access to Geelong and Melbourne.
Off the Midland Hwy, a meandering main driveway skirts down into the River valley below. The 5 bedroom brick homestead, dating back to the 1840's sits elevated with its iconic easterly verandah overlooking the paddocks and the River. The home is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Geelong region and has experienced various extensions over the past 180 years. Whilst currently showing its age, it is solidly built and maintains its rural grandeur with future refurbishment likely an excellent and rewarding opportunity.
Currently the lower level features numerous bedrooms and sitting rooms, a kitchen/dining room and bathroom - all still very functional and hospitable. An ornate timber staircase leads to the upper level, featuring some of the most original rooms of the homestead. Immediately outside, the surrounding gardens are well established with various smaller sheds and workshops nearby. Water tanks provide storage capacity, and town water is also connected.
Dry stone walls line sections of the track down to the paddocks, currently cropped and with a look back over the long history of agricultural enterprise on the property providing future inspiration for such a lifestyle opportunity. Given the space, terrain and proximity to Geelong, the potential for activating numerous income opportunities cannot be ignored.
This exceptional lifestyle property has a long and storied history, with a deep connection to the local region. It is now time for the next chapter to be written, the potential is immense and the rewards no doubt extraordinary.
"Lawrence Park" has been in the same family for no less than 150 years - a rare opportunity would be a significant understatement.
