139 Pound Creek Road, Navigators VIC 3352

Rural acreage near Ballarat | Four-bedroom homestead with four bathrooms | Built 2007 on 42 acres | Bushfire overlay present | Strong rental yield potential This property offers a rare combination of modern homestead construction on substantial acreage within commuting distance of Ballarat, placing it in a competitive position for buyers seeking a lifestyle retreat without sacrificing urban access. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom configuration with four garage spaces on 42 acres provides genuine versatility for families, hobby farmers, or those requiring workspace. The sweeping views to Mount Warrenheip and Mount Buninyong add a premium aesthetic rarely found in this price bracket, while the 2020 purchase history suggests the current pricing reflects market appreciation rather than speculative overreach. The property serves best for buyers prioritising space, privacy, and architectural quality over proximity to Melbourne’s inner ring, particularly those with school-age children given the Buninyong Primary School zoning. The bushfire overlay represents the primary specific risk, requiring due diligence on insurance costs and vegetation management obligations. However, the absence of flood or heritage overlays simplifies development potential and reduces compliance complexity. The NBN Fixed Wireless connectivity is adequate but not a prime value driver. The 16.94-hectare lot with building coverage under one percent offers significant future subdivision potential, though council appetite for rural subdivision in Moorabool Shire should be verified. The rental yield estimate of $565 to $660 per week provides a credible fallback position if the buyer’s circumstances change, making this property suitable for both owner-occupiers and investors seeking land-banking opportunities with immediate income.
