Each of these six fabulous lots are being sold separately as part of a private, integrated lifestyle development of 160 hectares approximately comprising the consented individual lots ranging from 15.05 to 35.8 hectares. All have their own designated large building platforms plus sufficient water supply for both household use and irrigation, suiting a blend of horticulture and viticulture. The viable horticulture/viticulture areas have been independently assessed and have similar terrain, altitude, sun aspect, and soil structure to the well-respected established viticulture operations that flank Bendigo Downs to the north and south.

Alongside the development, recent investment by big name players has proven significant viticulture viability with the majority of the immediate region’s acreage dedicated solely to vineyards.

Each of these magical sites showcase their rare Outstanding Natural Landscape designation via six gently sloping terraces offering commanding views of Lake Dunstan, the snow-clad Pisa range, and The Remarkables in winter. Nature separates these sun-drenched north-west facing terraces with deep Schist rock and Manuka filled valleys providing the physical separation for the absolutely private building platforms.

The options here are many, as a low frost area both horticulture and viticulture thrives, with sun and soil structure making this sub-region the pick of the area’s big name wine brands who use the area to grow only their premium pinot noir grapes. Or, combine a productive enterprise with tourism, and those wanting a private retreat surrounded by horticulture/viticulture yet still having magnificent sun and views can have it both ways. However, as a lifestyle sanctuary from the accelerating pace of life in the whole Southern Lakes region, Bendigo Downs offers a private road access to complete solitude that because of its low density housing rules, will remain that way well into the foreseeable future.

Access to all this wilderness is easy via State Highway 8 and a picturesque and historic road only 10 minutes drive from Cromwell. An area designated for a sizeable lake also adds a stunning private landscaping element.

This is one of few pieces of lakefront land in the area, offering major mountain and big water views and absolute privacy with a north-west sun aspect. Its underlying value has already been capitalised upon on both sides by successful developments of high quality.

Titles are to issue in summer 2019/20 but early interest has been strong with one lot already sold and another under contract.
