Steeped in local history and set on 1.08 hectares, this former sawmill site offers a rare combination of space, infrastructure, and future potential. Zoned Rural General, the property qualifies for one dwelling on its existing title, giving buyers a genuine opportunity to create something unique in a peaceful rural setting. The site includes multiple buildings from its mill operation days, including large sheds, workshop spaces, office/kitchen facilities, tunnel houses, a septic system, and gravity fed water tanks. Power is not currently connected, giving buyers flexibility to design their own off grid or on grid setup. Because the land was historically used as a sawmill, it appears on the HAIL register. This is common for rural industrial sites and simply means Council may require a site investigation if a buyer intends to build or change the land use. Many similar properties progress through consent once the appropriate checks are completed. The LIM notes historic permits but no Certificates of Acceptance, typical for older rural sites, as formal building records were not required before 1 January 1993. Buyers should rely on current Council requirements for any new development. With over a hectare of land, established infrastructure, and a rich local story, this property offers a compelling opportunity for those with vision. Whether you're looking for storage, workshop space, a rural base, or a future home site, 64 Breakneck Road delivers exceptional value at this new price point.
