40 Wallaby Court, Garfield North VIC 3814

Rural acreage near commuter rail | 12,000 m² with 17.5m shed | Bushfire overlay present | Move-in ready with fresh finishes This property occupies a rare position: a low-maintenance, move-in-ready house on a full 1.2-hectare lot within 20 minutes of a freeway and a commuter rail town. The large shed and flat garden area offer immediate utility for a buyer seeking workshop space or vehicle storage without the typical renovation burden. Fresh paint and new carpets reduce post-settlement friction, making this suitable for a buyer who wants a rural lifestyle without deferred maintenance. The bushland setting and wildlife appeal to those prioritising privacy and space over proximity to services. The bushfire overlay is the primary constraint, likely increasing insurance premiums and limiting some landscaping or development options. A buyer should budget for a bushfire management plan and confirm defensible space requirements before settlement. The property’s location outside Garfield means reliance on a car for most errands, though the freeway access mitigates this for commuters. For a buyer seeking an entry-level acreage holding, this property offers a clean, usable base with room to add value through further shedding or garden improvements. Hold it as a long-term residential retreat rather than a short-term flip.
