“Murrungowar” is a peaceful hilltop paradise hidden away in the Cabbage Tree Creek region of East Gippsland, under thirty minutes’ drive from Orbost and only a short drive from the premier fishing and tourism destinations of Marlo, Cape Conran and Bemm River. Back in the 1950’s there were believed to be approximately 350 people living in the area known as Murrungowar, of which this property was a part. For the history buffs, a book was even written about the town. Offered for sale for the first time in over 22 years, the 140-acre property is ready for your off-grid, self-sustainable lifestyle.

The property itself is split across two Crown Allotments and comprises around 35 acres of cleared land with the balance being selectively logged country with pockets of rainforest. Seasonal creeks run through the property and there is a large variety of ferns running up the gullies. A large and diverse variety of birds and native animals call Murrungowar home. The excellent soil is well suited to grazing cattle, growing fruit and vegetables or other horticultural pursuits.

Oh, and the views! The surrounding countryside appears to roll away at your feet all the way to the ocean in the distance. The distant lights of oil rigs in Bass Strait and the lights of passing ships can often be seen at night. Telstra 4G mobile reception is also available from the higher points of the property meaning, whilst you may feel miles from civilisation, you are not totally disconnected from the outside world!

For the keen hunters, Sambar Deer have been regularly spotted on the property. Deer hunting is also permitted in the adjacent Murrungowar State Forest. For the keen four-wheel drivers, motorbike riders and outdoor enthusiasts, there are plenty of tracks and trails to explore in this beautiful part of the world. For supplies that you can’t grow, produce or raise yourself, there are two supermarkets at Orbost. Orbost also boasts a regional hospital, primary and secondary schools, banks and cafes. There is a sports centre, golf course, outdoor swimming pool and sporting ovals.

Don’t miss this opportunity to live a self-sustainable, off-grid lifestyle whilst being mere minutes from some of the best fishing, waterways and unspoilt beaches in East Gippsland.
