This past week in Ballarat has delivered a healthy mix of prestige acreage, suburban family homes, and affordable entry points, underscoring the city’s continued strength across all segments of the property market. With sales occurring from Alfredton and Lucas to Sebastopol, Lake Wendouree, and even Burrumbeet, the diversity of transactions again proves why Ballarat remains one of Victoria’s most attractive regional property markets.
The standout sale this week was in Cardigan, where a luxury acreage property at 319 Blind Creek Road changed hands for an impressive $1,600,000. Spanning over 1.25 hectares, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with room for ten cars offered a lifestyle opportunity rarely seen in the region. With high-end features, sweeping views, and close proximity to Ballarat’s western fringe, it represented the perfect combination of space, comfort, and access.
Another high-end result was recorded in Lucas, where 63 Eleanor Drive sold for $1,350,000. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three garages, and situated on a generous 860 square metre block, the home reflected the growing prestige of Lucas as one of Ballarat’s most desirable family suburbs. Buyers continue to compete for modern, well-appointed homes in this tightly held enclave, especially those located close to parklands, schools, and shops.
Down in Napoleons, a semi-rural property at 4800 Colac-Ballarat Road sold for $915,000. Spanning over 1.21 hectares and featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and eight car spaces, this property bridged the gap between rural lifestyle and urban convenience. For those seeking the charm of acreage without compromising on access to amenities, Napoleons continues to offer strong appeal.
Back in the heart of Ballarat, Lake Wendouree once again proved its strength as a high-value suburb, with 3 St Aidans Drive fetching $940,000. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 662 square metres of prime land, this transaction reflects the enduring demand for homes near the iconic lake. Lake Wendouree remains one of the city’s crown jewels, and homes here continue to attract premium prices, particularly those with character charm or renovated interiors.
Winter Valley featured heavily in this week’s sales data, with multiple properties trading hands. A spacious family home at 21 Banff Road sold for $835,000, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and dual car accommodation across a 579 square metre allotment. Not far away, 205 Ballarat-Carngham Road achieved $720,000 for a modern four-bedroom residence, while 95 Wedge Tail Drive brought in $610,000. These consistent figures reinforce Winter Valley’s positioning as a reliable performer for both families and investors.
Alfredton continued its role as a cornerstone suburb for the Ballarat property market, delivering multiple mid-range sales. 15 Parkwood Street reached $630,000, while 13 Vale Street brought in $521,000. Another notable Alfredton sale was 4 Lauderdale Avenue, which sold for $631,000. With broad appeal to first-home buyers, young families, and investors, Alfredton remains one of the safest and most popular suburbs in the region, especially given its access to Ballarat High School and major arterial roads.
Canadian delivered two notable results this week. 28 Canadian Springs Drive sold for $642,000, offering three bedrooms and three car spaces on 720 square metres. Meanwhile, 729 Geelong Road sold for $425,000. Buyers continue to show strong interest in Canadian for its bushland outlooks, family-friendly streets, and ease of access to the CBD.
Sebastopol had a busy week with several transactions confirming its popularity among value-conscious buyers. 6 Forza Place sold for $459,000, 35 Mountview Drive fetched $575,000, and 3/7 Clarkson Street sold for a very accessible $320,000. These results confirm that Sebastopol continues to provide good value opportunities for both first-home buyers and investors seeking solid rental yields and low entry prices.
Lucas also delivered strong results beyond the previously mentioned Eleanor Drive sale. 8 McCallum Street changed hands for $610,000, showing that the suburb’s momentum remains consistent. With modern builds and family-focused developments, Lucas remains one of Ballarat’s fastest-growing housing corridors.
Further north, Soldiers Hill saw 817 Doveton Street North sell for $525,000. This two-bedroom, one-bathroom home on 303 square metres reflects the continuing strength of inner Ballarat suburbs. Ballarat North also featured with 903 Havelock Street selling for $460,000, highlighting demand for established character homes close to the city centre.
The unit and townhouse segment also had strong representation this week. A one-bedroom unit at 7/1110 Howitt Street, Wendouree sold for $270,000, while a more spacious two-bedroom unit at 1/714 Darling Street, Redan brought in $290,000. Another townhouse at 6 Forza Place, Sebastopol, fetched $459,000. These results reinforce the continuing demand for low-maintenance, affordable dwellings suitable for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers.
Wendouree itself saw a handful of varied sales, including 33 Grammar Street ($476,000), 2 Eton Street ($455,000), and 7/1015A Gregory Street ($420,000). These numbers show that Wendouree continues to appeal to a wide range of buyer profiles and remains a cornerstone suburb for Ballarat’s northern corridor.
Black Hill also featured with a solid $412,000 sale at 315 Peel Street, reinforcing that well-presented homes in established locations remain in demand. Meanwhile, Redan’s 915 Pleasant Street South sold for $401,000, yet another signal that price-accessible suburbs with character homes continue to perform well.
Rounding out the week was Burrumbeet, where 12 Bo Peep Road achieved a notable $700,000. Set on nearly 3 hectares, this three-bedroom, four-car property showcased the demand for lifestyle acreage on Ballarat’s outskirts. As work-from-home culture becomes more ingrained, these types of rural escapes are becoming increasingly sought-after.
Overall, this week saw Ballarat record a strong range of sales from the high-end acreage market through to affordable units and suburban family homes. From Lucas to Lake Wendouree, and Sebastopol to Soldiers Hill, every corner of the city contributed to a robust week of property activity. As we head into spring, buyer activity is expected to intensify further, particularly as stock levels rise and interest rates remain stable. Confidence remains high, and the data reflects a market where both buyers and sellers are active, engaged, and motivated.
