Held within the same family for an incredible 48 years, this exceptional 10-acre property offers space, privacy and an unbeatable location just minutes from the heart of Torquay. Rarely do properties of this scale and character come to market so close to the vibrant coastal town centre.
Located only 5 minutes from Torquay's bustling shops, cafés, and iconic surf beaches, the property also enjoys proximity to the area's highly regarded schools. With Melbourne just over an hour's drive via the Geelong Ring Road, it's the perfect base for families, commuters or those seeking a private Surf Coast escape.
The main residence underwent a major reconstruction in 1980, showcasing timeless craftsmanship and rich timber features. Cedar doors, windows and panelling, large exposed Oregon beams, and Blackwood cabinetry bring a warmth and individuality rarely found today. Panel doors in Cherry Oak and recycled timber, stained glass windows, rustic pine internal walls, and a combination of Indian slate and Tasmanian Oak flooring add to the home's character.
Outdoors, the property is a sanctuary framed by magnificent mature trees oaks, ash, Norfolk Island pines, gums, and more all thoughtfully planted and nurtured over nearly five decades. Two impressive sheds (12m x 7.5m machinery shed and a 10m x 5m shed with storage and tack rooms) provide versatile space for farming, storage, or hobbies.
The property is well serviced with 60,000 litres of water storage, a dam with pump supplying the house and gardens, and a Barwon Water tapping point across Grossmans Road (STCA).
Living on the Surf Coast means enjoying world-class beaches, coastal trails, and a laid-back lifestyle, all while being close to Geelong and Melbourne for work or weekends away.
