A Gisborne farm has been sold for $61.1 million to the Melbourne developer ID Land.
It was a 75 ha property at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-land+development-vic-gisborne-502701826" target="_blank">39 Willowbank Road </a>(pictured above) which will become new housing.
Savills agent Julian Heatherich said the owners who had farmed cattle on the property were retiring and downsizing to a smaller home.
The buyer will seek to develop 600 housing lots along with a primary school, waterways and parks.

Buying interest came from across Australia, China and South East Asia, resulting in the strongest development sale the Macedon Ranges region had ever seen.
“We received 15 offers and 160 requests for information for the property,” he told the local Leader community newspaper.
The property is surrounded by new residential estates, including Gisborne Fields and Golden Views, and is serviced by a train station, multiple bus routes and the Calder Freeway.
ID Land is a major property developer with projects across Melbourne, including Truganina and Wollert, and Geelong.

The property at 1 Kilmore Road, Gisborne, has been listed for sale.
The 2.1 hectare property comes with a dilapidated 1840s hotel.
It is on the market for $1,395,000.
Macedon House at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential+land-vic-gisborne-202131722" target="_blank">1 Kilmore Road</a> is because it is a rare surviving example of an early Victorian hotel, according to Heritage Council Victoria. 
The rendered bluestone building retains a host of original features, including the hardwood-framed roof, chimneys, sash widows and timber mouldings.
The building sits about 500 metres from the township.
The property was at the gateway to Gisborne.
It is offered through Rodney Morley agent Rodney Morley.
The property is located in a road and rural conservation zone on two titles made up of eight allotments.
It has 214 metre frontage to Melbourne Road.
It has attracted buyers wanting to establish a retirement village, Morley noted.
It is believed to have been built for Elizabeth and Thomas Gordon as the Mount Macedon Hotel.
The hotel changed hands over the years, also including a blacksmith’s business from 1863 to 1867.
From the 1880s, it became a boarding and guest house for many years.
During the 20th century it has been a private house, restaurant, reception centre, bowling clubhouse and school.
