The property comprises two contiguous freehold titles - Allotment 20 (75.77 ha) and Allotment 21 (70.14 ha) - offered as a complete package or as individual lots, with each parcel exceeding Melton City Council's minimum size requirements for dwelling application consideration.
The estate holds a unique strategic advantage due to its location directly across the Werribee River from Greater Western Water’s Melton recycled water treatment plant, which recently secured a major recycled water supply agreement for Amazon Web Services' nearby Cobblebank data centre campus.
Coupled with its proximity to the 500 kV Sydenham-Moorabool transmission corridor and a 26-hectare portion of Allotment 20 carrying a Special Use Zone for earth and energy resources, the property is drawing significant attention from non-traditional landholders looking to secure a position in Victoria's primary data centre growth corridor.
Ray White Rural Victoria director Jason Hellyer is marketing the property, with offers of expression by 14 October.
“Each allotment on its own comfortably exceeds the size Melton City Council needs to see before a dwelling application can even be considered. That's a genuine lifestyle-and-farming proposition on either half of this property, not just the whole,” Mr Hellyer said
“What we have is a large, clean, unencumbered landholding sitting beside the exact water infrastructure that's already supplying Melbourne's newest data centre campus, in the council area carrying most of Victoria's data centre growth.
“That's a genuine point of difference, and it's already generating enquiry from parties who wouldn't normally look at a farm listing.”
Graham Miles is selling the property as part of a deceased estate along with his three siblings.
“The property has been in our family for almost 60 years and has been a productive part of our family’s farming history,” Mr Miles said.
“In the early years, the land was used for running sheep, and in more recent times it has been used for cropping as part of my farming business.
“After many years of working the land, the sale represents a new chapter for me, as I look forward to retirement and enjoying the next stage of life.”
It’s been a productive parcel of land and an important part of our family’s story for almost six decades, Mr Miles said.
