97 West Road, Langwarrin South VIC 3911
1 ha semi-rural parcel | 5-bed main house plus self-contained unit | 10-car garage and shedding | 1980 build with major upgrades | Bushfire overlay applies
This is a rare configuration for Langwarrin South: a full hectare with a substantial main dwelling, separate living quarters, and parking for ten vehicles. The internal layout suits multi-generational households, tradespeople, or serious car enthusiasts who need both space and independence. The 263 m² floor area is generous but not extravagant; the real edge is the combined utility of the unit, sheds, and 3-phase power, which lifts this well beyond a standard family home. For buyers wanting semi-rural privacy with strong infrastructure, this sits near the top of the local market without being the absolute premium tier.
Value may hinge on how the self-contained unit is legally treated—if it’s a registered second dwelling, that adds meaningful rental or family flexibility, but if it’s informal, a buyer might face council compliance costs. The bushfire overlay could affect insurance premiums and future extension options, though the elevated site and existing construction likely mitigate practical risk. Condition of the 1980 build, particularly roofing, cladding, and the extensive outbuildings, might require capital after purchase. The wide rent estimates suggest the market is uncertain how to price the ancillary space, so a buyer should verify the unit’s status and inspect the infrastructure thoroughly before committing.

Market Insight
Langwarrin South, 47km southeast of Melbourne CBD, is a quiet rural locality adjoining Langwarrin. Demand is driven by established, higher-income families seeking large-acreage living, with a sales pattern dominated by five-bedroom homes on around two acres. Houses have a median of $924k (REIV), though other estimates range from $1.6M to $2.04M; units sit at $635k. House prices fell 0.6% annually, with only 4-12 sales over the past year and 39 median days on market. Rental yields are modest: 3.3% for houses, 4.7% for units. Recent sales around $1.53M-$1.68M for five-bedroom properties on 1.99 acres confirm the acreage focus. Future growth relies on quality independent schooling and rural lifestyle proximity. Key risks include very low transaction volumes, high entry prices, and a Boomscore of 24/100 indicating weak demand relative to supply.
