An experience in conservation and native forest.
If you've ever thought about participating in conservation of vegetation and helping preserve both wilderness and planet, this just might be your point of entry.
A significant parcel of native vegetation immediately adjacent to the Budj Bim National Park offers an amazing experience of remote tranquility and nature that most of us rarely get to see, let alone own.
Part of this property has been assessed for its vegetation attributes which have been registered with the state authority to enable the owner to sell 'Habitat Units' as offsets now or in the future. The land is classified as of very high conservation significance in its category of 'Stony Rises Woodland'.
The property is therefore both an experience in Australian Native history but also a commercial opportunity for those wanting to participate in this emerging sector of conservation management.
The current vendors have engaged in both short and long term conservation projects, offered from both state and federal governments which present periodically and have provided income throughout their tenure. These remains an ongoing opportunity.
Over $700,000 has been generated in income over the last 10 years from the sale of offsets and conservation programs. Opportunities to continue these programs remain for a new owner.
The National Park of Budj Bim, an area of recent World Heritage Listing and significance has created a new level of interest and visitation which is destined to become more popular into the future. For the creative mind, this represents an opportunity to capitalise on a newfound demand with an environmental offering and experience in the same precinct as Budj Bim. Options are endless for the destination tourist seeking to immerse themselves in exactly what this property has to offer.
For the pure conservationist, the landscape is quite unique. Volcanic Lava flows from ancient eruptions form the underlying soils covered with a range of vegetation from small forest floor plants to mature 30M eucalypts. The forest is the most peaceful environment imaginable, uninterrupted by development.
There are some rough bush tracks which provide access into and across the property but the majority is accessible only by foot. A small area along the Northern fringe of the native vegetation is clear open flat land with grassy pasture, offering potential building sites for a dwelling (STCA) or other working improvements.
The property has historically been used for light grazing purposes. There are 2 bores, a small dam and a concrete tank. The bores are not equipped.
Located 45 KM NE of Portland, 50 KM NW of Port Fairy and 8 KM Sth of Macarthur, these townships provide a complete range of services for agriculture in addition to social and recreational activities within a convenient commuting distance.
Inspection of this property is a must and by appointment only. You will be taken aback by the wilderness which presents to the environmentally astute.
The property if offered for private sale with a price guide of $2500/ac.
The offering includes currently unsold General Habitat Units (5.02 units). It is offered with vacant possession and with settlement terms by negotiation.
