Land Sites
There aren’t many comparable private trout fishing estates around the world, but I have visited a few and, in my humble opinion, Highland Waters is the best on offer.
My advice to the world-weary, overworked professional who may be looking for a weekender, a holiday home or a retirement property – go take a look at Highland Waters estate, you won’t regret it.

The purchase price includes a three rod fishing licence and a $10,000 share in a company, Lot 42 Pty Ltd. The assets of this company are the lake and balance parkland, a 50 acre site containing the Highland Waters ranger’s cottage, and the guaranteed water supply agreement. This vitally important agreement with the owners of London Lakes ensures ongoing supply of water to Lake Highland Waters to counteract evaporation, to operate the spawning channel and to maintain trout fry hatched in the spawning channel.
Each site owner pays an annual maintenance fee, $1,583.37 in 2007–08 and increasing according to the Consumer Price Index. This funds maintenance of private roadways and foreshore reservations, purchase of fish supplies, fencing, labour, construction of the ranger’s cottage and barbecue areas, maintenance of dam wall and overflow and intake facilities, and payment of rates and insurances.
Lot 42 Pty Ltd holds its Annual General Meeting each October. This gives all shareholders the opportunity to participate in the management of Highland Waters and its fishery.
