139 Hume Street, Echuca VIC 3564

Character-rich original in Echuca East | 1,013 m² development canvas | High-demand owner-occupied street | Bushfire and flood overlays present This property offers a rare combination of a large, level 1,013 m² site in a tightly held pocket of Echuca East, with an existing three-bedroom character home that retains high ceilings and sash windows. For a buyer seeking a renovation project, a build, or a subdivision opportunity, the land size and location near schools and services create a strong positional advantage. The property serves best a renovator, builder, or developer who can look past the original condition and capitalise on the site’s flexibility, supported by the street’s 90% owner-occupied profile and low days on market. The bushfire and flood overlays are the primary risks, as they may increase insurance costs and limit certain development options without council approval. The buyer should budget for a full structural and environmental assessment before committing. The opportunity lies in either a sympathetic renovation that preserves character while modernising, or a clean-slate redevelopment that maximises the site’s potential. This property should be held as a medium-term project, with the land value underpinning a strong exit or rental yield once improved.
