147 Racecourse Road, Redesdale VIC 3444
4-bed rural holding | 16.19 ha parcel | 6-car space | long owner-occupancy | bushfire overlay
The property’s core strength is found in its rare combination of a four-bedroom dwelling with six parking spaces on a substantial 16.19 hectare parcel in a low-density rural locality. It is positioned well above the suburb’s typical three-bedroom housing, making it a standout for buyers seeking genuine acreage without taking on an institutional-scale holding. The location’s long-term owner-occupancy and farming zone character are reflected in a private, established rural feel. This house is best suited to lifestyle purchasers, tree-changers, or small-scale rural operators looking for space for vehicles, sheds, or hobbies rather than conventional commuters.
The property’s value may be shaped by a bushfire overlay, which might increase insurance costs and limit development options. On-site infrastructure like sheds, water, and fencing may be limited, so a buyer might need to budget for improvements. Perceived value could also be influenced by land quality and layout for practical rural use, making inspection important.

Market Insight
Redesdale is a tightly held, prestige segment of the Melbourne market, with just two house sales in the past year and a median of $838,000. The 50% five-year house price gain and a gross yield of 2.6% reflect a buyer profile weighted toward equity-rich, discretionary purchasers rather than investors. Units have lagged, up 22% over five years. Supply is the central constraint: advertised stock across Melbourne sits roughly 21% below typical five-year levels, and the city’s 1.7% vacancy rate underscores the imbalance. Forecasts for 2026 range from +2% to +7% nationally, but Redesdale’s extreme transaction thinness amplifies price swings. Affordability constraints in the broader market remain the key brake on further acceleration.
