Koonwarra Property Market
& Suburb Profile

Lifestyle & Community

With a population of around 366 (2021 Census), Koonwarra is characterised by a mature demographic with a median age of 53, well above the Victorian average of 38. Households tend to be small, with roughly 2.5 people per dwelling, frequently couples without children or empty nesters.

Housing & Zoning

The area is predominantly rural and zoned for farming, with about 87 percent classified as Farming Zone alongside some Rural Activity and conservation land. Housing consists mainly of separate houses on larger land parcels. Properties often include acreage, appealing to buyers seeking space and a traditional rural lifestyle.

Education & Schools

Local children typically attend primary schools in neighbouring towns. Within Koonwarra itself, Koonwarra Village School is an independent school for Foundation to Grade 6, offering a small-scale, community-focused learning environment since 2012.

Transport & Connectivity

Koonwarra lies on the South Gippsland Highway, providing road links to Leongatha and other regional centres. The South Gippsland rail line ceased operation in the early 1990s and has since been repurposed as part of the regional rail trail. Public transport options are very limited, and most residents rely on private vehicles, with an average of 2.7 cars per dwelling.

Housing Trends

Very few property sales are recorded each year due to the small size of the community, typically in the single digits annually. Median house prices (2025) often fall between $700,000 and $1,150,000, with larger rural properties sometimes exceeding that range.
