Rural sanctuary with 6 beds | 52-acre rolling landscape | Holiday rental permit active | 7 minutes to Milton township This property presents a rare, turnkey rural holding that combines a substantial residence with an established income stream, positioning it for both lifestyle and investment buyers. Its core strength lies in the scale of its 21-hectare parcel, which provides immediate privacy and operational flexibility, coupled with a dwelling size that far exceeds typical rural stock in the area. The existing short-term rental operation, “Woodstock Retreat,” demonstrates proven demand in the sought-after Milton/Mollymook corridor, capturing the premium holiday market seeking luxury amenities like a pool and orchard. This configuration best serves a buyer seeking a high-yield lifestyle property or an investor targeting a sophisticated tourism asset without the development lead time, as the combination of vast land, large house, and operational permit is uncommon in the local market. The decision hinges on accepting the operational realities and risks inherent in its current use. The bushfire overlay imposes ongoing compliance costs and potential insurance premiums, while the unfenced dams and explicit non-suitability for young children create specific liability and market constraints that limit tenant or guest demographics. The substantial price premium over recent raw land sales in the area is almost entirely attributable to the improved dwelling and income-generating business; you are paying for that immediate utility. Proceed if you intend to continue or enhance the holiday letting operation, as the commercial logic for a standard residential holding is weak given the price point. For a pure capital growth play on land, smaller, unimproved parcels offer a more efficient entry. This property demands an active, management-oriented ownership to justify its valuation. Recent comparable sales demonstrate the value attributed to improvements: – 18 Nov 2025: 2 bed, 1 bath on 21.47ha sold for $629,000. – 2 Jun 2025: 2 bed, 1 bath on 21.47ha sold for $525,000. – 3 Feb 2021: This property itself sold for $1,350,000. These comparables, being largely vacant land with modest dwellings, underscore the significant premium commanded by this property’s substantial residence and established business. The 2021 sale price already reflected a premium for the house, and the current valuation near $2.6 million requires the income and luxury finishes to be financially justified.
