The property features five bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is a spacious family house.
Ararat enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate (Csb). Summers are warm but often interrupted by cold fronts, while winters are cool and usually rainy.
Ararat is well‑served by road, sitting on the Western Highway and Pyrenees Highway, and has a railway station with V/Line services to Ballarat and Melbourne. A regional airport is located about 5 km south of the town.
Within 2‑3 km you’ll find the Town Hall Performing Arts Centre (≈2.4 km), Ararat Motor Inn (≈1.6 km), Warrayatkin Swamp (≈1.4 km), and the former Ararat Locomotive Depot and Turntable (≈1.6 km). The area also offers the nearby Hopkins Correctional Centre (≈1.9 km).
Ararat grew rapidly after gold was discovered in 1857 and became a boomtown, later known for its Chinese community and as the only Australian city founded by Chinese people. The name ‘Warrayatkin’ for Green Hill Lake reflects the local Djab Wurrung heritage.
The local economy is anchored by primary industries such as wool, beef and the nearby wine region, alongside renewable energy from wind farms. Manufacturing (e.g., AF Gason farm machinery) and health and community services also play major roles.
Hopkins Correctional Centre, a medium‑security prison, is located about 1.9 km from 70 Green Hill Drive. The older ARARAT PRISON weather‑station site is roughly 1.7 km away.
