About this property
A rare and highly prized offering, Black Cat Truffles presents an exceptional fusion of refined country living and an established and distinguished agribusiness, set within one of Victoria's most celebrated food and wine regions. Located at 150 Howards Road, Wattle Flat. Established in 2007, Black Cat Truffles is an icon of the Victorian truffle industry, consistently producing annual yields in excess of 100 kilograms of both winter and summer truffles. The 20-acre property is superbly positioned just over an hour from Melbourne's CBD, 12 minutes from Ballarat's train station and within easy reach of Daylesford, placing it at the heart of a region renowned for its gourmet, artisanal and farm-gate produce. The land is thoughtfully apportioned, comprising a meticulously established 1,100-tree French and English oak truffière, complemented by approximately 10 acres of grazing land. At its centre sits a charming four-bedroom, cottage-style residence, surrounded by sweeping lawns, established gardens and an extensive parterre vegetable garden, creating a tranquil and highly liveable rural sanctuary. Overlooking the elegant rows of truffle oaks is the property's licensed café and commercial kitchen, an integral component of the estate's success. Currently leased to an esteemed local chef, the venue hosts popular seasonal truffle hunts and offers refined, truffle-focused dining within an intimate 24-seat setting, providing immediate income and a strong foundation for continued or expanded agri-tourism pursuits (STCA). Equally compelling as a lifestyle retreat or a commercial opportunity, Black Cat Truffles offers something for everyone, and everything for someone. It is a first-class amenity with enduring land value providing the rare advantage of acquiring an established brand with genuine growth potential. Whether continuing the existing successful enterprise or simply enjoying the serenity of this beautiful setting, the possibilities are both diverse and compelling. An offering of this calibre and provenance is seldom available. For further information or to arrange a private inspection, please contact Phil Hayward on 0419107112.
