The site, which is undeveloped at the moment, lies on the Geelong Road and is officially in the Ballarat suburb of Canadian.
The land is being marketed as a possible site for a 90-room hotel, although estate agents said that was just an idea put forward by the land owners - and that no permits had been granted for any such development at this point.
Frank Vinci of Vinci Carbone estate agents said: "That's just a concept that's been prepared by the vendors."
He said he was unsure if there had been any discussion between the landowners and council about the possibility of carrying out such a development.
The estate agent's website says the idea is STCA - or subject to council approval.
However, Mr Vinci said there had been considerable interest since the land has been advertised.
"We have been marketing it for a couple of weeks, and we've had quite strong inquiries for it.
"We hope to sell it by Christmas," he said.
