4 Acres of Paradise in The Basin

Open for Inspection: Saturday 10:30-11am

Presenting an idyllic and utterly captivating piece of land that is undoubtedly a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity, and certainly a rare chance to acquire a historically significant 16,961sqm (approx.), or just over four acres, of what was once a small section of the Dobson family's extensive property.

Initially, right back in 1867, William Peverill Watson, the first freehold landowner of The Basin, was granted title of 120 acres (bordered by Liverpool, Sheffield and Pavitt roads) paying £1 per acre for what was then known as Crown Allotment A.
William sold the land to his daughter in 1867 and David Dobson purchased the title in 1872 to add to his existing holdings in the area known then as 'North Scoresby'. The Dobson family is one of The Basins earliest settlers, and the land was predominantly used for dairy farming and market gardening, until, in 1897, the Salvation Army purchased the bulk of the property. Placed on the market in 1998, the new owners then cultivated the land for the purpose of setting up and running the present, successful nursery for the past 15 years.

And now, it could be your turn. This prodigious allotment is fully fenced, offers a 30m x 18m multi-span greenhouse and a huge machinery shed 18.1x7.4 meters with 3 phase power, mezzanine storage area, separate office, kitchen and shower room. There is also a dam which is capable of holding 1.5 Meg litres of water with pumps to irrigate the property and a rain water tank which services the shed and kitchen. An impressive tree line was planted in a perfect position to ensure privacy and screen the ideal site for a residence, maximising the breathtaking and uninterrupted views to Mt. Dandenong and its surrounding ranges.

Situated just moments to village shops, The Basin and St Bernadette's Primary Schools, Doongalla Forest and scenic hiking trails, Pony and Adult Riders Club, Alchester Village Shopping Centre,
Eastwood Golf Course, plus the added convenience of Boronia and Bayswater stations and amenities just a short drive away.
