Looking for land in central Vic to build tracks.

[John Orchard]

Anyone in central Victoria please keep an eye out for land that I can buy to build a few motocross & dirt-tracks on.  I think anywhere between 200 & 1000 acres should do it.  I prefer no more than 3 hours from Melbourne.

Good luck,

We've been looking for 10 years & still looking. Don't get me wrong, keep looking but it's an uphill battle to find one that is zoned correctly already (Industrial, read quarry) or trying to have it rezoned. Even with the proposed new (Read going back to the old rules) zoning rules it will be up to the council.

We found a couple but council just stonewalled us.

I sincerely wish you luck.

Viper???

i have 2 parcels of land at 200 acres each within 3 hrs (just) of melbourne, not sure how the council would go, but the land is zoned rural.
one block has old house with power , phone and shedding. other block has old falling down house and not much else.

if your interested , give me a call , Colin 0407518200

Thanks Colin, yes I am very interested.

Are there any other riders interested in buying property so that we can create a buffer zone of 'motorcycle friendly' people in an effort to stop neighbours complaining about those pesky noisy motorcycles  ;-)

We should all stick together to protect the future of off-road riding, if a number of us can buy in one area it will give us solidarity ..... pending council approval.

I rekon you need to think about the capacity to generate income then approach some farmers who have some lizard country around the avoca area - landsborough etc with some "undulations" who would like a few descent dollars for the year. heathcote area isnt to bad toward kyneton and Lancefield etc. putting together a budget and setting some easily attained income figures for them may open the doors if they can see a few bucks coming in for land they cant make much money on. a good contract would need to be put together but would cover against sudden changes of mind. having a local on board helps with councils...

Just a thought....

try and buy closer to the SA border... 

[John Orchard]

Getting close, have the following options ...

Pyalong, 40 acres, $160K, rocky & hilly, close to home.
Heathcote, 142 acres, $170K, hilly & bushy, houses nearby.
Rushworth, 100 acres, $120K, flat, no neighbours, 10k's of dirt road to get to it.
Nagambie, 100 acres, $160K, flat, no neighbours.

John, I need to catch up with you at HBBB as I need to find out where you get all your energy from.

Life is like a race, I'll not give-up until I drop.  Or it's probably just my OCD problem  ;-)

Jodie & I have checked-out over 30 properties, got lost in State forrests twice while looking for them!  LOL

Hey John, we have had 150 acres 2hrs west of sydney for 8 years now. Neighboring blocks incl 100AC, 270AC, 300AC and several 25 AC across the river. I really think that if you wish to have any chance to build a track for even small events then you should try to be as far away from neighbors as possible. Also if the place has some native scrub or trees on it then it will be easier to maintain as far as weeds go as our 80 acres of paddock require a fair bit of care to just keep the blackberry and serrated tussock at bay. Last summer we sprayed 5000 Litres of brush off to control blackberry.
The best thing we ever did was buy the property together (my brother and I) and also become friends with the other property owners nearby. Our closest neighbor puts his cattle on our place - no fee for adjistment... But he takes care of some fences...
