Land for Sale Mount Franklin, Midland Hwy

Mount Stewart An easy 90 minute drive form the city of Melbourne, Australia andj ust 10 minutes north of Daylesford and 20 minutes to Castlemaine, with easy access to both towns via the Midland Highway, Mount Stewart is a 21ha (52 acres approx.) cleared allotment, on what is literally the last and largest cleared parcel ever to become available on this landmark hilltop. With an ‘As Of Right’ ability to build a dwelling, the property offers a true country escape for permanent living or a spellbinding weekend retreat. The district abounds with historic stone wall, panoramic views over a rural landscape of rolling hills and pasture and the 400,000 year old volcano, Mount Franklin rises majestically nearby. There are breathtaking 360 degree views of Mt Franklin, Mt Alexander, Mt Tarrangower and Mt Kooroocheang from the numerous home sites and the red volcanic soil is ideal for grazing, permaculture or a vineyard on the sunny slopes. A fenced laneway on the title with sealed road frontage gives you guaranteed privacy and provides a suitable landscape for planting a scenic driveway. The natural buffer zones afforded by the Castlemaine Diggings Heritage Park to the northeast, ancillary dam and good fencing make for an ideal environment to build a "forever home" or conduct that long hoped for farming enterprise.
