The development has also been planned to encourage a secure, family-oriented community, bringing together like-minded individuals who value both privacy and a shared appreciation for the unique character of the estate.Lifestyle and local amenity in Golden SquareLocated just 2.5 kilometres from the Bendigo Central Business District, Fortuna Villa Estate offers close proximity to everyday amenities while maintaining a sense of calm and seclusion.
