3102 Hamilton Highway Inverleigh VIC 3321

Rural acreage near Geelong | 4-bedroom family home with horse setup | Salt-chlorinated pool and 66,000L water tank | Farming Zone with bushfire overlay | Last sold 2014 for $285,000 This property offers a rare combination of scale and proximity: 2.24 hectares fully subdivided into five paddocks with a horse arena and barn, yet only 2.5 km from Inverleigh Primary School and within commuting distance of Geelong and Melbourne. The 6.5 kW solar panels, spring-fed dam, and large freshwater tank reduce ongoing utility costs, while the heated salt-chlorinated pool and north-facing alfresco add lifestyle appeal. For a buyer seeking a semi-rural holding with immediate equine or home-business capability, the existing infrastructure—double garage, workshop, stabling—represents significant setup cost avoidance. The low building coverage (<1%) and Farming Zone permit flexibility for agricultural or commercial use, making this suitable for families, trades, or horse operations who value privacy and self-sufficiency. The confirmed Bushfire Prone Area overlay is the primary risk, imposing higher construction standards and insurance premiums; a professional bushfire assessment is advised before proceeding. The 2014 sale price of $285,000 indicates substantial land value appreciation, but the absence of recent comparable sales in Inverleigh means pricing is untested—buyers should commission an independent valuation. The property’s long driveway and western edge location may limit future subdivision potential, and the 66,000L tank requires active rainwater management. For a buyer who values rural lifestyle and operational land over capital growth certainty, this property is best held as a long-term family or business base, not a short-term flip.
