Beautiful and rare coastal estate on French Island. Just an hour from Melbourne and a short ferry trip, this unique property combines rich history, sustainable living and endless opportunity.
Welcome to Cummgwyndwrr.
Held in the current family for over 112 years, the residence began as a two room cottage in the early 1900s and grew into a six bedroom homestead with a ballroom that once hosted island dances and gatherings. Today, it offers complete off grid living with modern solar systems, abundant water supply and thriving orchards.
Property Highlights:
No council rates - rare financial advantage
No power bills - Off grid power system including back-up generator
Six bedrooms across two levels
Historic ballroom and expansive rumpus/billiard-room
Versatile Outbuildings/Storage/Workshop Space
Elevated dam with bay views, natural spring and bore
Extensive fruit trees including citrus, stone fruit, berries and avocado
Catch a fish straight from the bay. Gather fresh oysters off the rocks. Pick lemons and fennel from the garden and spoil yourself with beautiful fresh dinners. This is coastal living in its purest form.
