The property currently comprises 5 individual titles totalling approximately 20 acres (8 hectares), moderately sloping and dotted with shade trees. It is located on the East side of the Calder Highway and has two access driveways. This is a place of beauty and natural character. Bullock Creek meanders through the allotments, lined by centuries old majestic River Red Gums. There are two dams, established fruit trees and wild flowers. With taming, the gardens would be returned to their former glory. You may also choose to undertake to restore the existing home and sheds, reclaiming what can be reclaimed, and recycling what cannot. There is mains electricity available and a connection to the Coliban Water Rural Pipeline. You may wish to contact the Mount Alexander Shire Council to discuss the Ravenswood South Restructure Plan and the option of consolidating the lots as one title and building stables or a building other than a dwelling, in addition to restoring the existing home, or rebuilding a new home. You may wish to seek to build a new home in place of the existing, or site a new home elsewhere within the boundaries. This is a wonderful lifestyle property and an opportunity to put your stamp on the map. A copy of the Due Diligence checklist can be found at: https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/duediligencechecklist
