With the 2022 series of The Block nearing completion in Gisborne (near Macedon) in Victoria, the spotlight is once again on the allure of living in rural and regional areas of Australia.
Ray White Rural Victoria Director Jason Hellyer says the reality show reflects the real-life trend of people leaving city life behind and starting afresh in their new locations with new lifestyles.
“We’re now into the traditionally busier spring and summer selling seasons and we’re seeing a strong number of sellers preparing their properties for sale, with buyers ready to swoop,” Mr Hellyer said.
“In Victoria, it’s an extension of what we saw over the past two years of COVID-19 disruption, particularly people from Melbourne who were locked down six separate times who just want to escape the madness of the city.
“Right now, there’s many genuine blockbusters, either here now or about to come to market in rural and regional Victoria. They’re a fantastic mix with a range of country living and working opportunities representing great value.
“You can overlook Phillip Island and Bass Strait in Kilcunda, relax directly by the Goulburn River in Eildon or overlooking Corinella Bay on the Bass Coast at The Gurdies, live sustainably and off the-grid in the Goulburn Valley, enjoy a hobby farm and income-producing vineyard at Armstrong near Ararat and Great Western, live in luxury in Millbrook, run a cropping and grazing property near Stawell, farm on a grand scale in the Western District, have country lifestyle living at its best at Creightons Creek near Euroa, or own of the Goulburn Valley's best kept commercial orchards near Shepparton.
“We can’t wait to see how buyers respond to these properties,” Mr Hellyer said.
Coming soon. This will float your boat. This 12.5 acre country lifestyle property in the Eildon region with 200m of rare Goulburn River frontage will be well sought. If not sold over the next week or two, expect this value for money blockbuster to come to market by way of an official spring campaign.
Price guide: In the vicinity of $1.4 million.
