6820 Pyrenees Highway, Avoca VIC 3467

mud brick | Pyrenees backdrop | 18 acres | dual living zones The case for buying this property rests on its rare combination of mud brick construction and 18 acres of usable land within commuting range of Ballarat and Maryborough. The two living areas and outdoor entertainment deck give it a genuine country hospitality feel, while the powered shed and two dams make it immediately functional for a buyer wanting small acreage without starting from bare land. This property suits someone seeking a permanent rural residence with established infrastructure, not a weekend escape. The bushfire overlay is the primary risk, and it will affect both insurance premiums and any future building work. The 895 square metre footprint is large for mud brick, which means heating and cooling costs will be noticeable despite the ducted system. There is no fibre internet, only satellite, so remote workers should verify their needs. The valuation gap between $670,000 and $1.1 million suggests the market has not settled on a clear price point, which puts pressure on a buyer to negotiate hard. Hold this property as a long term home, not a flip, and use the existing shedding and water storage to reduce ongoing living costs.
