Last Listing description (October 2025)

At nearly an acre in size (3413m2), this level allotment is located at the end of a quiet street and surrounded by farmland. This enviable location has very few neighbours and services such as power, town water, CN gas and NBN are available for connection when you are ready to build your dream home. The property is also fully fenced with a gate and crossover and there are no easements on the property. Bigger than most blocks in town, yet with the convenience of being in town, there is enough room to build a large home and shed (STCA) with plenty of room for the kids and pets to play and maybe have a sheep or two.

Zoned 'Farming Zone 1' this property lends itself to a variety of potential uses. The current owners have successfully applied for a planning permit for a dwelling which ensures the new owner has right to build a home (subject to council, regulatory and permit requirements).

Orbost is a popular destination surrounded by farmland and has many schools, shops and medical facilities, such as the Orbost Regional Hospital. It is nestled on the legendary Snowy River which meanders out to sea at the coastal town of Marlo in East Gippsland. Lakes Entrance is only around a forty-five minute drive for the Gippsland Lakes, Woolworths and Aldi whilst Bairnsdale is a little further on for where there are all the major supermarkets, K Mart, Bunnings and a train service that travels to the Melbourne CBD. Orbost is around four and a half hours drive from Melbourne or Canberra making a very accessible to come to see what the area has to offer.

Level blocks of this size in such a pleasant rural setting don't come on the market very often. Don't miss this one! Please call Richard on 0401 113 310 for further information.
