Lara Lakes Estate is one of the newest residential communities shaping the growth of Lara, a township positioned between Geelong and Melbourne. Thanks to Lara’s proximity to both cities, the estate offers the convenience of commuting alongside the appeal of a country lifestyle.
Lara Lakes is part of the Lara West Development Precinct and has been carefully planned around open space, wetlands, and community features that create a strong sense of place for new residents.
Many families and first-home buyers are moving to Lara Lakes for the balance it offers, with easy access via the Princes Freeway to Melbourne for work, Geelong for shopping and services, and the You Yangs and Surf Coast for recreation. Within minutes of home, residents can access the town centre, schools, and essential services.
Weekends might include a visit to Serendip Sanctuary, a hike in the You Yangs Regional Park, or a trip to the Bellarine Peninsula and Great Ocean Road, known for their celebrated beaches and coastal towns. Closer to home, Avalon Beach offers another option for fishing, picnics, and waterfront walks.
For those who fly regularly, Avalon Airport is only a short drive away, making interstate and international travel convenient.
The estate itself provides 6.7 hectares of landscaped open space, two playgrounds, and extensive walking trails, with land also set aside for a future primary school and community centre. It’s a lifestyle-led community designed for long-term growth, with a focus on convenience and family living.
Building your home in Lara Lakes Estate
Practicality is at the core of Lara Lakes, with block sizes ranging from 350 to 750 sqm, including options with park and lake frontage. Lots are fully serviced, and building guidelines are in place to maintain the quality of streetscapes and landscaping across the estate.
The estate’s design makes it especially suitable for young families and first-home buyers. Schools, sporting reserves, and local recreation facilities, including Lara Recreation Reserve, Elcho Park, and Lara Golf Club, are within a short drive, while everyday services such as supermarkets, medical centres, and cafés are only minutes away.
House and land packages make the building process more straightforward. Rather than searching for land and then a builder separately, these packages combine a home design with a suitable block, aligned to the estate’s requirements. This streamlined approach gives buyers the assurance that their new home will fit the estate, meet modern design standards, and suit their lifestyle from the outset.
