Natural Agriculture Communities
Natural Agriculture Communities offers a new way to live and farm, in community and with sustainability in focus.
Each property is part of a larger, connected landscape managed collectively by residents. Together, they care for the land through tailored management strategies and regenerative farming practices. From improving soil health and water quality, to restoring native habitats and controlling invasive species, every action supports biodiversity and establishing long-term resilience.
The communities are carefully designed to balance productive farming and sustainable living, allowing residents actively contribute to the health of Australia’s ecosystems, while owning a beautiful piece of the Australian landscape.
Imagine a place where agriculture and community come together to create thriving landscapes and sustainable lifestyles.
Live in community, where people and nature thrive.
There's more to Natural Agriculture Communities than just land. They are opportunities to become part of something bigger, a commitment to preserving Australia’s unique biodiversity and connecting with like-minded stewards of the land.
We're excited to introduce our next Natural Agriculture Community:
- Watchbox Valley: An innovative community combining stunning views with sustainable farming.

Why join a Natural Agriculture Community?
Korong Ridge: A Natural Community in Action
How does the model work in practice? Just ask any one of the eight landowners at our first Natural Community in Korong Ridge.
Known as the Korong Ridge Conservation Estate, this is a special story of individuals coming together collaboratively to manage and preserve 835 hectares of vital habitat, a pioneering approach to ecological stewardship.
Korong Ridge was the success story that gave way to the model of Natural Agriculture Communities. Our hope is that it will serve as inspiration for many communities to come.

"I’ve always loved the bush but I never imagined I’d get involved in conservation. It’s just something that’s evolved over time and it’s wonderful.”
Ian
"I love it. Whenever anyone asks me where I’m going on holidays I say, ‘I’m going down to my block!’ I’m a social person but I love the peace and quiet too.”
James and Trudy
"We walked onto country and fell in love. We wanted a property where we could make a difference on a much larger scale. Our property is a box iron bark habitat. There’s only 13% left from what used to exist – it’s a biodiversity hotspot that needed protection."
By fostering stewardship and sustainable practices, we aim to protect and restore Australia’s precious landscapes for generations to come.
At Cassinia, we believe in a future where people and nature thrive together. Our properties are ecosystems teeming with life, history, and opportunity. We recognise that our landscape is fundamentally fragmented, and plots of land from one property to another are being managed separately, often with little communication.
Conservation is a collective effort. It takes coordination, collaboration and commitment.
