Last Listing description (August 2026)
Imagine finishing work on Friday afternoon, throwing a bag in the car and heading for your own private country retreat.
A short drive later you're unlocking the gate, lighting the fire and pouring a drink as the sun sets through the trees.
No towing a caravan.
No pitching a tent.
No spending half the weekend setting up camp and the other half packing it away.
Just arrive, relax and enjoy.
Welcome to Possum Hill.
Set on approximately 12.5 acres (5.09 hectares) in Victoria's historic goldfields region, this unique lifestyle property offers the perfect escape from the noise and pressures of everyday life. Surrounded by State Forest and farming land, it is a place where time slows down and nature takes centre stage.
Wake to birdsong, watch resident wedge-tailed eagles soar overhead, and enjoy regular visits from kangaroos and native wildlife. Spend your evenings around the firepit under a sky full of stars and your days exploring the surrounding bushland, prospecting for gold or simply doing absolutely nothing at all.
There is something remarkably satisfying about owning a place where the only agenda is to relax.
Steeped in local history, Possum Hill sits just a stone's throw from the original settlement of Orville, where thousands of miners once searched for their fortune during Victoria's famous gold rush. Today, people come here searching for something different - peace, privacy and the freedom to truly switch off.
What makes this property so appealing is that everything is already here.
Best of all, you can start enjoying the property from day one. The portable accommodation provides all the comforts of home, featuring a queen-size bed, double bunk, pull-out double bed, comfortable lounge suite, kitchen facilities, bathroom and open-plan living area. Whether you're staying for a weekend, a week or longer, the hard work has already been done.
For families, there is even a cubby house and slide tucked amongst the trees, creating the perfect place for children to explore, play and make memories in the great outdoors.
The property offers an excellent balance of open space and natural bushland, with two separately fenced paddocks providing flexibility for a horse, a few sheep, hobby farming pursuits or simply secure areas for recreation and enjoyment.
