Lot 1 Ti Tree Rd, Dunnstown - for herald sun real estate

The main feature at lot 1 Ti Tree Rd, Dunnstown, is a rustic cubby house. But the wider property is listed for $450,000-$490,000.

A regional Victorian cubby house, on a more than 4ha parcel of farm land, has hit the market for just short of half-a-million bucks.

The unusual proposition at Lot 1 Ti Tree Rd, Dunnstown, just outside of Ballarat comes with a tree-lined block of land that’s zoned for farming use — and a rustic cubby house that along with a hay shed is just about the only major improvement to the plot.

With a $450,000-$490,000 asking price, the allotment has been listed with the prospect it could have a bigger house built on it — though its zoning will need certain requirements ticked off.

Ray White Ballarat’s Dean Mifsud said it was the first time he’d listed a cubby house for close to half-a-million dollars, but with the expansive size of the block — there was value there.

“It’s been built for the owners grand kids,” Mr Mifsud said.

“And it’s just been a recreational block for them as they live nearby and like having the space.”

The loft adds space for storage – and possibly some more structural support.

While he said most prospective buyers would look to add a home to the property that took advantage of its impressive views, its farming zoning would mean there were some extra requirements to getting an approval.

In addition to the cubby house, the property also comes with a 3m deep well, a 13m deep bore and a hay shed.
