The Grass Paddock – 36 acres on 9 titles In Prime Location

( to view all images, click arrows on the images )

Supremely located, the Grass Paddock, Little River. A location that has been in high demand, situated just 56km from Melbourne CBD and 27km from Geelong CBD, Victorias two largest cities, with brilliant commuting between both centres along one of the countrys best freeways.
Much attention is currently focused on this area because of impending infrastructure projects. This has prompted the government to review the areas land use through the Avalon Corridor Strategy, due to be completed in May. International development of Avalon Airport is ramping up, including new enterprises, warehouses, and allocation for a rail corridor for the proposed rail link to Avalon (5km away). The new youth detention centre will also be about 5 km away, towards Werribee. In the future the new Bay West Port may be developed not too far away.
Its not hard to see why property in Little River is rarely released to the market, and also, snapped up quickly when it is.
The options truly are endless. The Grass Paddock is a 36 acre parcel on 9 titles with access to town water and fronting the Princes Fwy, at the Point Wilson overpass. Possibilities include rural agribusinesses, full subdivision into 9 lots, rural-residential, or with a view to the future, commercial or investment.
Access to the property is by Oxford St, providing excellent access to the highway. Further access is available off Argyle St by Stirling Street (currently a track). An unmade road, Victoria St, runs the length of the property, giving access to the potential subdivided lots. (Victoria St is about 4 acres, thus making a total of 40 acres).
A new overpass will replace the existing Point Wilson Overpass in the coming years (5 to 15 years). This will be a part of the Outer Metropolitan Ring Road and will provide great access and increased exposure to the land for commercial purposes. This new overpass will require about 4 acres being compulsorily acquired (as set out in the images).
Originally penned to become a township called “Ascot, the Grass Paddock has been held by one family for the past 150 years. Previously used for cropping, grazing and market gardening, the land would suit:
An Investor / Land developer – buy now and add the infrastructure needed to re-sell some, or all of the 9 titles individually, as serviced, ready-to-build-on rural lots, while the development of the surrounding area is underway.
Maximum highway exposure and prime location for a service centre, truck/transport depot (subject to council approvals).
Rural enterprise – hot houses, chook houses, horses, or enjoy the rarely available-sized parcel and continue cropping and grazing
Rural residence – all the advantages of living in the country but excellent proximity to two major cities and closer to Melbourne than many suburbs
A combination of the above
