Can you really buy land in Victoria for $2 per square metre?
Low priced land has a lot of people talking and in Victoria there are a few blocks available on the cheap.
Land prices in Melbourne’s city-fringe housing estates continue to hover at around four-year lows, according to Oliver Hume.
However, how far away do you need to get from the capital to secure blocks at prices as ludicrously low as $2 per square metre?
Lot 7, as well as Lot 17 (pictured below), on Netherby Baker Road, Netherby are both on the market for $11,500 each.
The listing notes that the land is rural residential in the Netherby township, “which boasts a pub” and is 20 minutes from larger town Nhill. It is an hour from the city of Horsham, and 20 minutes from Victoria’s largest recreational lake – Lake Hindmarsh.
Netherby is 405 kilometres north west of Melbourne.
They are each listed as being approximately 1,011 square metres.
This works out at approximately $11 per square metre.
Another 1,011 square metre block at 12 Moore Street, Kaniva (pictured below) is up for sale for $13,500. It has electricity, water and sewerage adjacent to the block and faces the Native Botanical Reserve.
Kaniva is 415 kilometres north-west of Melbourne.
It works out at around $13 per square metre.
For $13,500, the 836 square metre block at 59a Anderson Street, Dimboola (pictuyred below) is available for purchase.
