This is a dream of two guys …
A desire for more space began in 2016 after many camping and road trips in the great outdoor. We were living in a large house with small yard in outer eastern suburb of Melbourne. So search for our new home began. We visited Coldstream, Clyde, Sunbury and Little River, just to name a few places. With easy commute into Melbourne and local convenience in mind, we eventually narrowed our focus to areas around Bacchus Marsh and Geelong.
After a few online searches, we stumbled onto this 5-acre rural property in early 2017. It ticked all the boxes and we genuinely felt excited for the possibilities and our future. Then the rest is history.
Located at the foothill and roaming pastures of Lovely Banks, the headquarters is a working farm with diverse interests. The double storey family home completed in early 1983 and over time, boarding cattery and other businesses established at this site. In late 2024, working dog training and Australian Merino sheep farming take place at a larger property just outside Bannockburn, Victoria.
This is our opportunity of owning a rural land. A dream of leaving a bustling city life to a more relaxing country living.
Lara farm is home to many chickens to produce our delicious eggs. They are free to roam across various paddocks. Our large flock of Australian Merino sheep and a few goats live at our Bannockburn farm.
Our small orchard is located between the customer and private driveways in Lara. It has a varieties of fruits, from apples to lemons, cherries to apricots. We have also planted strawberries, Passionfruit, Mulberries, Loquat and Persimmons elsewhere on the property.
Our dogs are integral part of this place. From rounding up livestock to guarding our chickens. Many tasks would not be possible without their help.
