Offered to the market for the first time in generations, The Miles Family Estate is a substantial 145.91* hectare (approximately 360 acre*) landholding in two contiguous titles - Allotments 20 & 21 Eynesbury Road, Eynesbury - in the City of Melton.

Sold with options, the vendors' preferred outcome is a single sale of the whole 145.91* hectare property to one purchaser, in one line but we are open to offers for each individual allotment as follows:

• Allotment 20 - 75.77* hectares: including a 26 hectare Special Use Zone (Schedule 1) component
• Allotment 21 - 70.14* hectares: a clean Green Wedge parcel

The two allotments adjoin one another and both carry secure and private Werribee River frontage to the rear boundary. A "blank canvas", the land is level, open country currently sown to barley and has historically been used as a dryland rotational cropping enterprise also cropped to wheat and canola. The property is equally suited to running sheep and other agricultural pursuits could be explored. Productive red cropping soil, typical of the district, exists across the entire property. Split into two large paddocks, paddocks are close to 100%* arable with scattered stands of native gums providing shelter for livestock. Average rainfall for the region sits at around 475* mm.

A BLANK CANVAS FOR BUILDING

The combined holding at 145.91* hectares, exceeds the minimum land size at which an application to build a home can be made in Melton City Council's Green Wedge Zone. The individual allotments, Allotment 20 at 75.77* hectares and allotment 21 at 70.14* hectares, also exceed the minimum land size threshold at which an application to build a home can be made. Subject to council approval (STCA), the scale of this property and / or the individual allotments therefore provides scope for the purchaser to build a residential dwelling on the 145.91* hectares, or purchased separately, a dwelling on each of the smaller Allotments.

SERVICES AND ACCESS

With sealed road frontage to Eynesbury Road, the property also benefits from utilities available from Eynesbury Road, including power and town water. Other utilities including sewer and fibre are nearby and major gas line infrastructure sits within a neighbouring allotment.

POSITION

• 45 minutes* by vehicle west of the Melbourne CBD via the Western Freeway
• 40 minutes* to Melbourne Airport
• 12 minutes* to Melton 
• 12 minutes* Cobblebank railway station

The property adjoins the Eynesbury township and amenity that includes a government primary school and kindergarten, general store, recreation reserve, and the Graham Marsh-designed Eynesbury golf course (rated among Australia's Top 100 golf courses). Minutes to Melton's town centre and within the Melton-Rockbank-Cobblebank growth region, the property sits within close proximity to the emerging Cobblebank Metropolitan Activity Centre and the new $900m Melton Hospital. The Victorian government is currently investing significant funds to upgrade public railway infrastructure at Melton and Cobblebank with new platform extensions at each railway station, upgraded rail electrification and nine-car V/Locity services from 2027.

Within the catchment of the reserved Outer Metropolitan Ring / E6 transport corridor, the property sits 1km* west of Melbourne's Urban Growth Boundary.

STRATEGIC OPTIONALITY

Scale, contiguity and this position on Melbourne's western front give the estate genuine strategic energy and infrastructure optionality over the long term.

Directly opposite (across the Werribee River), is Greater Western Water's recycled water treatment plant - a potential future source of recycled water for agricultural or commercial activity on the property (subject to agreement with Greater Western Water). The holding also sits close to major (500 kV) transmission infrastructure. 

ZONING

Green Wedge Zone, with a 26 ha* Special Use Zone (Schedule 1) component within Allotment 20, the property has potential for multiple applications. Build a grand country estate on the fringe of Melbourne with enough scale to create income through agricultural activity, or explore commercial activities suitable for the site: there's plenty of options.
