In the mid 1850s, pioneer pastoralists and miners making their way to the Ballarat goldfields came across the rural hamlet that is now Shelford, making use of its safe river crossing.
You too can discover Shelford, nestled in the picturesque Leigh River valley. Your journey starts here at the Manse Estate, named for the Presbyterian bluestone manse and garden that remains on its original site further south.
This 1,024m2 residential allotment boasts panoramic north-easterly views across the valley and is waiting for a new owner to build their dream home and start living the rural lifestyle that awaits. The property is an easy commute to both Geelong and Ballarat, (45 minutes), 50 minutes to Surf Coast beaches and 90 minutes to Melbourne.
With all services, including power, mains water and internet at the gate ready to connect, all you need do is draw up your plans and make them a reality. There's ample room for a garden, orchard, let your imagination run wild!
Shelford has a primary school, community hall and good sporting facilities; if you're a keen angler, there's the Leigh River.
