Regional Coastal Lifestyle Perfection
It is also a property where there are multiple opportunities for commercial and farming activities as well as a lovely regional coastal lifestyle. One of the picks for Victoria, and Australia, for that matter.
You may know of Port Fairy, renowned for its annual festival, but also as a coastal location for fantastic regional living.
A great business incentive, Port Fairy is a magical holiday destination and accommodation. The area is solidly booked all year round. Interstate and overseas visitors come to the Great Ocean Road and stay in the quaint town of Port Fairy to enjoy festivals and many sporting events. It has been voted the Most Liveable Community in the world.
Air BnB or additional dwelling - The Willows is a boutique tiny house accommodation with a loft, a queen size bed, full bathroom and even a washing machine and clothes line. A fully equipped kitchen with a relaxing reclining couch, keep warm with a natural wood fire. The verandah opens onto magical views across the Forest Garden and beyond.
Projections for the annual income for this Tiny Home of over $77,000 - which would be highly profitable.
One option would be to build more B&B accommodation to increase revenue. A big advantage of the second title of 5 acres could be units of up to 60m2 without a planning permit, just a building permit (STCA). These units could all have their own access from the road, the same as the existing tiny house.
The existing festival and ecotourism markets could provide immediate success.
If, or as well, organics and permaculture are of interest to you, this property is one of the finest examples you will find. Already established with workshops, community garden, the property has an excellent profile. The tiny home (and cabins) could be utilized for weekend or longer educational and experiential tourism based around the well established property. Guest presenters, workers, guests could be easily housed.
How fantastic to host them in your very own Pizza Hut - all weather too and such a cute place to entertain.
Even better the land is level and allows excellent access for anyone with temporary or permanent mobility. As part of your marketing for sustainability excellence, this is highly valuable.
As a demonstration property you will not find better. The gardens, the orchard, the power and water systems, the soil development and management, the house design and use, are all top class. People coming to learn from the finest contributors to sustainability and our future.
Another alternative is to return the 5 acres to the Boer goat stud established prior to Covid pandemic. The 5 foundation does and 1 buck aimed to supply organic meat to supplement produce from the garden. This was the main purpose of installing the cool room. The breeding program resulted in 2 year old does sold for $400 per head.
Expenditure for this return was minimal as the set up for farming has all been completed. The stock shelter sheds can be moved from paddock to paddock as the stock are rotationally grazed over the available area. There are stock watering troughs in each paddock. Hay is readily available from a neighbour who produces small bales of quality hay for the horse industry.
The acreage is suitable for hobby farming and enterprises such as:-
1. Sheep for organic meat with possible use of neighbour's ram
2. Miniature donkeys and breed in conjunction with neighbour who has some
3. Horses and ponies for recreational riding which is popular in the area, or for your own guests.
4. The area is very suitable for growing organic garlic which can be readily sold at the local farmer's market or direct to local cafes and restaurants
5. Paddock to plate enterprises
6. Medicinal herbs
The home itself is stunning. This magnificent unique Off-Grid strawbale home comprises 3 extra-large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with an additional separate toilet. So many gorgeous features - please request our brochure so you can see them all. Not the least being the bathroom and the external undercover verandah workshop area shown in the photos.
The whole site, this 1 acre of the homestead, and the 5 acre lot, enjoy Regenerative landscaping. This has allowed the 6 acres to be organically designed using permaculture principles and philosophies. Set in the fertile volcanic soils of Port Fairy, close to beaches and only 5km to the seaside town of Port Fairy itself. Just 20km from the city of Warrnambool.
If you have always wanted to live in a great regional part of Australia but not sure how to combine your way of life, income needed and provide for your family in the way of the future, here it is. You get to live close to the coast, on your own rural retreat and have various ways to earn income.
