40 Staceys Rd, Connewarre.
Geelong expats vying for the chance to return to the region contested a sprawling property with views over Lake Connewarre.
The 13.4ha property at 40 Staceys Road, Connewarre, sold for a price in the vicinity of $3 million, the Advertiser understands.
Richardson, Newtown agent Matt Poustie said the five-bedroom residence attracted plenty of interest from local and Melbourne buyers, but it was buyers seeking to return to the region who remained at the end of the campaign last week.

Mr Poustie wouldn’t disclose the sale price, but said it continued the record of premium results being achieved at this particular lakefront pocket of Connewarre.
“Neither buyer was from the Geelong region,” he said.

The spa is an ideal spot to end the day.
“One was an expat coming back, the other was from around Macedon looking to come closer to family and make a sea-change.”
The property, Kanandah, occupies an elevated position with views of Lake Connewarre towards Geelong, where the GMHBA Stadium lights are visible at night.
The vista is front and centre from the home, which has a wall of windows as a backdrop from the main living and dining area.

Options to enjoy the end of the day are plentiful.
It gets better outside.
A covered entertainment area is complete with a built-in oven, a separate pergola has a fire pit and the spa beneath the extensive north-facing veranda seems the perfect place to watch the sun go down.
The property is divided into three main paddocks and has direct private access to Lake Connewarre, a dam, cattle yards with a crush and troughs connected to town water.

The main living area is a light, airy room.
The property’s sale price sat between the two most-recent sales in Staceys Road of $2.5m and $4m.
“It’s a very good result. It’s an extremely good road, Staceys Road,” Mr Poustie said.
“It’s a very lucrative blue-chip pocket.
“When you think about it, it’s a lot of money to spend, but those views don’t come around often.”
