219, 239, 245, 285 Leslie Road Mount Franklin (all blocks selling as one)

Located at the foot of Mt. Franklin, known traditionally as "Lalgambook", this just over 70-acre (29 ha) property offers exciting potential. The region's deep volcanic past is evident in the land's fertile soil, paving the way for an array of agricultural pursuits. Farmers and owners of yesteryear once tended to pigs, cattle, sheep and had stables for horses.

The property's verandah is west facing with views of Mt Franklin and blossom trees, a fitting introduction to the natural beauty that permeates the area. The ambient calls of local kookaburras, sightings of wallabies, and other native wildlife further enrich the experience, creating a sense of connection to the Australian outdoors.

The blank canvas home occupying the site features a sizable 4-bedroom residence in need of restoration. While its current state demands attention, there is some infrastructure in place, including water tanks, a dam, sheds, and available mains electricity that requires updating. If you're imagining a unique renovation, an entirely new construction, or tapping into the growing trend of glamping holidays, the possibilities here are as vast as the land itself.

Beyond the homestead, the vast acreage shines with versatility. Whether it's setting up permaculture gardens, establishing a hobby farm with alpacas and goats, or launching larger-scale farming ventures with sheep and cattle, the sky's the limit. All farming dreams, of course, are to be realised in line with the Hepburn Shire Council's directives.

The property's strategic location amplifies its appeal. Indulgent moments await just minutes away at the Chocolate Mill. For those inclined towards wellness, Hepburn Springs is 3.5im away and offers therapeutic escapes. Daylesford's bustling precinct is within a 10min drive, a hub for fresh produce and local artistry, and the serenity of Glenlyon are both within easy reach. For broader adventures, Castlemaine beckons in 20 minutes, Woodend in 40, and Melbourne's CDB is just a 90-minute drive.

Seize this opportunity to shape your own rural legacy.
