Hiding among leafy trees just off the Great Ocean Road at Marengo is the beautiful Apollo Bay Ridge. This unique property overlooks an undulating landscape across lush paddocks, all the way to the sea. Here you will find a beautiful home and successful business ready to walk into and run with. It is an ideal location for those wanting to live and work for themselves in one of the most spectacular and popular parts of the world.

There are four buildings at Apollo Bay Ridge, each with its own individual character. There is plenty of scope to put your own stamp on any of these houses and all are built to overlook the attached seven acres (2.8ha) of land and glorious Otway scenery beyond; including Apollo Bay which twinkles under the stars at night.

The main house is a three-bedroom home with breathtaking views and outdoor/indoor living which makes it bright and airy. The two-level home with spiral staircase has a multifunction downstairs area; kitchen, dining, lounging, entertaining, cinema screen watching. A wood fire/reverse cycle air conditioner takes care of the temperature. In this house there are two bathrooms and two expansive decks overlooking the bay and the Otways that have moved many artists to paint and poets to write.
Just along the eucalypt-lined driveway are two separate one bedroom villas. These provide an income and are modern and easy to maintain. Each faces north so they are bathed in sunlight whatever the season. They both have open plan lounge/dining areas and fully-equipped kitchens and bathrooms. The beauty of having your business from home is the time spent relaxing when you would be commuting; the drive to work is measured in seconds!
Finally there is a workshop/studio/home-office which looks as if it just emerged from the front cover of a book on fairy tales. This sweet and compact building could be easily converted into further accommodation (STCA) or would serve any budding artist as a studio. Each of the houses here has its own private driveway, branching away from the main.

The land surrounding Apollo Bay Ridge is full of wildlife feeding from the native rainforest; koalas, echidna, wallabies and a great cacophony of birds to wake you. Down in the pretty paddocks that sweep away from the house are llamas and donkeys. The four paddocks are fully fenced and there are two holding pens. The property is tank fed with water and altogether 7 tanks hold 170,000 litres.

Just a stones throw from Apollo Bay Ridge is the Great Ocean Road which tourists flock to see throughout the year. There is also the popular Great Ocean Walk nearby and this property is well placed to provide accommodation for that, with the shuttle bus passing the end of the road. The Otways are known for their beauty and leisure pursuits, here is your chance to own a brilliant business in the best part of the world.
