Mailors Flat
Mailors Flat, 13km north of Warrnambool, is attracting younger families seeking big lifestyle blocks but want to remain within striking distance of ‘town’.
In 2016, Mailors Flat had 425 residents, including 113 families; in 2021 there were 490 residents, including 128 families. Warrnambool’s Brauer College is just 10 km south along Caramut Road.
Winslow is a lovely locality where gardening is obviously a passion among its 436 residents.
There are some pretty amazing gardens here – some neat and manicured, others wild and rambling – and a mix of housing from old farmhouses to large modern homes on big blocks. Winslow has township blocks currently for sale from around $300k.
Some established properties overlook Winslow’s beloved beauty spot, the freshwater 22-hectare Lake Cartcarrong. This volcanic maar lake was formed two million years ago and is popular for fishing and birdwatching. The public access area is a serene, beautiful spot with shaded picnic facilities. Winslow is 17km north of Warrnambool and close to Woolsthorpe, Grasmere and Woodford primary schools.
