181 Beaumont Road, Berwick VIC 3806

Historic homestead on 11 acres | Berwick’s tightly held enclave | 8-car shedding and full water infrastructure | Four fenced paddocks with irrigation dam The property’s competitive advantage lies in its rarity — a circa-1900 homestead on approximately 11 acres within a historically significant and tightly held pocket of Berwick. The established gardens, salt-chlorinated pool, and substantial shedding with 3-phase power create a fully functioning lifestyle holding that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate. The four fenced paddocks, irrigation dam, and 80,000 litres of house water storage mean the land is productive, not decorative. This property serves best a buyer seeking immediate acreage living with the option to extend, build anew, or hold as a generational estate. The school catchment to Harkaway Primary and Berwick Secondary College adds a practical layer for families. The heritage overlay and bushfire overlay carry real cost and constraint. Any extension, rebuild, or subdivision will require council approval and likely specialist consultants, which can delay projects by six to twelve months and add tens of thousands in fees. The flood overlay, even if partial, may affect insurance premiums and limit where structures can be placed. The buyer should budget for a full planning review before committing to any development timeline. The opportunity here is to live in the existing homestead while the property appreciates as Berwick’s land values tighten, then either sell to a developer or subdivide if the planning pathway eventually clears. Hold this property for its scarcity and infrastructure, not for short-term redevelopment.
