Once devoted to nurturing roots, this former nursery now offers something increasingly rare and deeply valuable — exceptional land paired with remarkable water abundance.
Set on just under five glorious acres (approximately 1.71 hectares of usable land), this picturesque property is wrapped in what can only be described as a true ring of water security. It is the only property in the area to enjoy the rare advantage of both reliable town water and extensive tank water, complemented by a private bore and a licensed creek running along the rear boundary. In a time when water security has become one of the most valuable assets a rural property can offer, this level of supply provides genuine peace of mind for gardeners, hobby farmers, or anyone dreaming of a thriving lifestyle property.
Whether you're nurturing expansive gardens, running animals, or simply enjoying the confidence of abundant water year-round, this property delivers a level of resilience and flexibility seldom found in lifestyle holdings of this calibre.
The charming country cottage is everything peaceful living promises to be. Here, development pressures fade away, replaced by space, serenity, and the lingering scent of roses carried on the breeze. Inside, warmth and character abound — recycled timber steps and ceilings, crisp white timber frames, and a fireplace that crackles perfectly on cool evenings. A freestanding clawfoot bath invites long soaks, while the sun-filled lounge (or third bedroom) opens through sliding doors to the garden and is serviced by a split system for year-round comfort.
Mornings begin on the porch with a cup of tea and a soundtrack of birdsong, rustling leaves, and the gentle movement of water through the landscape. The established gardens burst with colour, reflecting the property’s nursery heritage, and flourish thanks to the incredible water supply that supports them. Surrounding wildlife adds to the magic, making it easy to forget the outside world altogether.
Practically speaking, the property delivers in spades. A large powered workshop and garage, dual driveway access, and a newly fenced paddock provide flexibility for animals, hobbies, or small-scale rural pursuits. With multiple water sources supporting the land — town water, tank water, bore access, and creek licence — the opportunities here are as abundant as they are secure.
Located just over 60 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, 550 McDonalds Road offers easy access to the city while feeling wonderfully removed from it all. Whether you’re seeking a permanent tree change, a weekend escape, or a lifestyle property with genuine long-term resilience, this is a rare offering where beautiful gardens and exceptional water security go hand in hand.
