Sorrento & Blairgowrie VIC

I used to surf in the area quite a lot some years ago when I lived about an hour away. Are you looking for investment purposes or to live in?

It’s a fairly affluent area which you could confirm with ABS data. So real estate certainly isn’t cheap. I saw a feature on TV recently claiming that Portsea (next suburb to Sorrento) is the home of Australia’s most expensive real estate.

A relative on my fiance’s side is selling their holiday home in Blairgowrie – I think it’s mid 500k’s AUD – The residence is about 5 years young and 3 bedroom I think… Call me on 61 7 5535 5226 or email [email protected] for more information.

General information on the area:
– Sorrento was the site of the first settlers in Port Phillip Bay
– Employment opportunities are not plentiful – lots of cottage industry, some light industry, heavy industry on Westernport Bay at BHP (30 mins drive)
– It is about 2 hours drive from Melbourne CBD
– Historically it is a holiday/tourism region so holiday letting may fetch strong yields during summer months which are very popular (ie traffic stands still during January).
– There are many world class wineries about 25 mins drive away
– Serviced by a major highway
– Plenty of Golf Courses nearby
– Good surfing beaches – Former Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt drowned at one of them during the 60’s
