Are you looking for a beautiful place in the heart of the Otways where the air is clear and the forest and pasture are green all year due to the abundant rainfall? This magnificent property is easily accessed via a bitumen road only a 20 minute drive from Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road. Set on 57 hectares of verdant rolling pastures and pristine rainforest of majestic eucalypts, blackwoods echidnas and frogs are all local visitors. Take a picturesque walk along a track under the green canopy of tree-ferns to Skenes creek at the eastern edge of the property, where you might catch a glimpse of a platypus or fish while enjoying a picnic.

The spacious open plan living area with lovely views of the gardens through every window, has a quality kitchen and a walk in pantry. There is an abundance of storage cupboards in the fully fitted pantry, the laundry and walk in linen room. The study with fitted desk and book shelves could easily make a fourth bedroom.

To tap onto the recent growth in tourism of visitors to the Great Ocean Road, there are many possibilities for developments such as an Eco tourism venue, a multi cabin holiday stay (the property is eligble for group accommodation in the local planning by laws), a health retreat or conference centre. This is your opportunity for a new lifestyle.
