Overview

Bridgeview: The Valley Estate Geelong Has Been Keeping Secret

A tree-lined road encapsulated with 100-year-old elm trees draws you in, and by the time you reach the house the rest of the world has dropped away. Set on approximately 41.7 acres above the Moorabool River valley, Bridgeview earns its name: the heritage railway viaduct completed in 1861 sits front and centre, framed by a ribbon of river gums and rolling hills, with wedge-tailed eagles a regular part of the view. Ornamental pear trees line the driveway from the front gate, bursting into white blossom each spring. Impeccably crafted approximately 17 years ago, this beautiful home delivers a rare combination of substance and quality in a completely private and peaceful acreage setting. Step into a generous entrance hallway where a crystal chandelier makes an elegant first statement. The open-plan living room forms the heart of the home, where soaring bay windows showcase uninterrupted views and draw natural light and the beauty of the outdoors inside. From your living room, the incredible historical viaduct dominates the outlook, a rare privilege, experiencing a piece of Victorian engineering heritage as your everyday backdrop. On special occasions, watch the Eureka steam train cross the viaduct from your verandah, a sight few properties in Victoria can offer. Stunning oak floors flow through the living spaces, grounding the property with warmth and character. Double glazed windows frame the outlook from every room, and the floorplan gives a family genuine room to spread out. A 2.7m x 1.4m granite benchtop takes centre stage in the kitchen, with matching granite finishes in the bathrooms and laundry. A generous walk-in pantry keeps the kitchen streamlined and clutter-free. Offering four bedrooms, four living rooms and two bathrooms, there is an abundance of space to create a second primary suite for elderly relatives, au pair or guest wing as well as a home office. The generous main suite features a twin-vanity ensuite and unbelievable views across rolling hills to the viaduct. Wake to a private setting where history and nature meet in complete serenity. The family bathroom features a spa bath and serves the family wing of the home. Electric ducted heating and cooling, zoned throughout, keeps comfort year-round. Equally suited to quiet family life and large-scale entertaining, this home offers your own private slice of countryside. The back courtyard and main living room have comfortably welcomed more than fifty guests. Outside, summer takes care of itself. The swimming pool with a solar blanket to extend the season. Established orchards throughout the property bear quinces, apples and apricots, with peppercorn trees dotting the native gardens. Wrapping around the home, low-maintenance gardens blend natural stones with thoughtful landscaping, leaving you free to enjoy the rich colours of each changing season. The grounds are steeped in character, with 100-year-old oaks, historic dry stone walls lining the paddocks, and productive almond trees. Solar panels work year-round for energy efficiency, reducing running costs on acreage where self-sufficiency counts. The property is serviced by mains water with the ability to switch to tank water, giving you flexibility and security on a farming/lifestyle property. Zoned Farming, the land is set up to work. Six paddocks give you real flexibility: three smaller paddocks close at hand for horses, ponies or rotating stock, and three larger paddocks for grazing or agistment, one with its own dam. Horse lovers will appreciate the stables and tack room, ready for your equine companions. An American barn with concrete floor and power covers the machinery, floats and workshop needs. A stable has also been added to the property. Scattered among the rolling hills, old iconic bluestone ruins from a former historic piggery and dairy set the scene, a reminder of the land's farming past and a rare chance to own a genuine piece of historical ruins on your property. All of this around 12 km from Geelong, close to leading public and private schools, and a quick run to the Ring Road for Melbourne or the Surf Coast for summer.
