Positioned directly along the Glenelg Highway and located within Ballarat’s Western Growth Area, 597 & 625 Glenelg Highway offer a rare opportunity to secure substantial acreage with both immediate lifestyle appeal and meaningful long-term capital upside.
Together, the properties comprise approximately 46.85 acres* (18.96 hectares*) across two well-located titles, making them ideally suited to strategic landholders, high-capacity owner occupiers and private investors who understand the value of long-cycle growth corridors.
This is not a near-term development site. Instead, it is a significant hold and benefit landholding for those seeking scale, flexibility and strategic positioning ahead of future planning outcomes.

WHY THIS LAND APPEALS TO STRATEGIC BUYERS
• Meaningful scale: A combined 46.85 acres* (18.96 hectares*) in a designated growth corridor – land of this size is becoming increasingly difficult to secure near Ballarat’s expanding urban edge.
• Growth corridor positioning: Both titles sit within the City of Ballarat’s adopted Western Growth Area, identified for future residential expansion through the Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) process.
• Immediate lifestyle use: Large, open and usable acreage offering lifestyle living, equine suitability, hobby farming or long-term family occupation while the corridor evolves.
• Hold now, benefit later: Ideal for purchasers familiar with rezoning timelines who focus on planning-led value uplift rather than short-term speculation.
• Highway exposure and future optionality: Prominent Glenelg Highway frontage provides strong long-term subdivision logic (STCA) as surrounding growth continues moving west from Lucas, Alfredton and Bonshaw.
• Capital preservation with upside: Independent valuations align the offering with growth-area investment land rather than traditional rural parcels, underscoring both security and future uplift potential.

As Ballarat continues to expand westward, large-acreage properties within identified growth corridors have become increasingly scarce. Land of this scale, particularly with highway frontage and future precinct planning exposure, is typically held long-term and seldom brought to market.
This offering provides genuine lifestyle enjoyment today, with a clear position to benefit from the long-term evolution of Ballarat’s western growth framework.
