Phone Enquiry ID: 228301
A rare opportunity to secure a cleared and level 761sqm residential allotment with established fences and road access at both front and back. This strategically located vacant block of land is ideal for families, tree changers or investors wanting to create a private country retreat. Surrounded by bushland, award-winning wineries and rich potential for gold prospecting, this is the perfect place to build your ultimate weekend getaway (STCA).
Location: The heart of the Grampians/Pyrenees Wine Region and in close proximity to both the Kara Kara National Park and Pyrenees State Forest. Smack bang in the middle of gold prospecting country (‘Kara Kara’ means gold/quartz), there are still many prospectors who visit the area today. Easy to reach from the Sunraysia Highway, which runs directly right beside Redbank. Good vehicle access to the plot at both front and back.
10 mins to Moonambel
16 mins to Avoca
32 mins to Maryborough
67 mins to Ballarat
74 mins to Bendigo
Note: a culvert (ditch) at the front will need to be factored into your landscaping plans. Current vehicle access is from the rear lane.
Power: Mains power available.
Water: Untreated mains bore water available but too salty to drink. Local residents use rain water tanks to supply drinking water.
Sewerage: You will need a secondary treatment system with pressurised subsurface drip irrigation. A secondary treatment system can either be a septic tank with a sand filter or a treatment plant (official name is Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS)). A sewerage system of this type will support a 2- or 3-bedroom dwelling. Note: with a secondary treatment system you will need to engage a plumber every 3 to 6 months to check the system. Plumbers tend to charge somewhere around $400 each time.
Zoning: The land is zoned ‘Township’, meaning it can be used for a residential dwelling, as well as a range of commercial purposes such as a bed and breakfast or medical centre. The area is governed by the Pyrenees Shire Council.
History: Gold was discovered in Redbank in 1860, leading about 2,000 people to rush to the area. Greater deposits of gold were found close by in 1861, however, and much of the town relocated. The Redbank of today is a sleepy rural village nestled in the foothills of the Kara Kara National Park, just 5 minutes away from Sally's Paddock Winery.
