| Why you should consider Bacchus Marsh for
your new lifestyle – Bacchus Marsh is located 54km to the west of Melbourne and has a population of approximately 15,000. It is in a central position just 50 minutes comfortable drive from Geelong, Melbourne and Ballarat. It is a rural town in a peaceful setting, nestled in the fertile valley where the rich green irrigated flats appear as an oasis on each side of the road framed by the Avenue of Honour. This avenue of elm trees, planted after the First World War to commemorate the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for our country, is a beautiful entrance to the town with its changing colours during the four seasons. Bacchus Marsh offers a wonderful lifestyle for families and has excellent facilities for many activities including golfing, bowling, horseriding, bushwalking, clubs, gym and restaurants. There is a good rail service to Melbourne for commuters, excellent schools and medical services including a hospital. Clifton Park Estate is within walking distance of the shopping centre and schools and is one of the most attractive areas in the town in spring when the *Pink Wisteria nature-strip trees form a beautifully perfumed pink flowering cascade before full leaf formation. Blocks in Clifton Park Estate vary in size from 450m² for small lot living to 1400m² to suit families requiring more space. |
