1695 Bendoc-Orbost Road, Bendoc VIC 3888

If you've ever thought of escaping the rat race to your very own property in the hills, without breaking the bank, here's your chance. This property located on the edge of the township of Bendoc in East Gippsland is around eighty-seven acres in size, has power running through and around five hundred metres of frontage to the Bendoc River.

Accessed directly off the bitumen Bendoc-Orbost Road, a formed gravel driveway provides all weather access to the property. There's a good mixture of open grazing for a few animals and native bush providing shelter and timber for firewood and fencing. Midway throughout the property is a clearing which features a small, rustic cabin. The cabin is solar powered with generator backup. A wood fire keeps the cabin warm during the cooler months whilst there are two outdoor entertaining areas. This section of the property also features dog kennels and four small paddocks with one having a series of raised garden beds.

A planning permit is required to build a home and the lower reaches of the property feature several possible home sites that provide views to the East down to the river and across to the neighbouring property. It's here that the power crosses the property, meaning easy grid connection. Alternatively go fully off-grid and save on those power bills. Stock and domestic water rights exist to pump from the Bendoc River and there is an existing pipe and a petrol powered pump to bring water up.

Excellent Telstra mobile reception is available across the property however the children or grandchildren won't need their devices here! They will enjoy every minute of exploring the property. For the avid four-wheel drivers, motorbike riders, horse riders and outdoor enthusiasts there are plenty of State Forests and National Parks in the region to explore. Sambar Deer regularly move through the property and deer hunting is permitted in thousands of acres of State Forest in the area. For the fishos, there are Trout in the river, whilst the premier mainland trout fishing lakes of Jindabyne and Eucumbene are only a short drive.

The township of Bendoc is around two kilometres. Here you will find the Bendoc Hotel, a great place to enjoy a meal and catch up with the locals. The school bus also leaves from Bendoc. For supplies that you can't grow on the property yourself, nearby Delegate has a variety of specialist stores and eateries whilst Bombala is the closest major rural centre, around forty-five minutes' drive where there are two supermarkets, doctor and a hospital. Cooma is around two hours' drive for all the major supermarkets, whilst Canberra is around three hours' drive.
