An extraordinary offering to the market, this tranquil acreage occupying 1.64ha (approx.) offers two separate homes, in an exceptional location that merges country, city and coast. The main residence, originally designed for Melbourne Cup-winning horse trainer George Hanlon, adds an enchanting piece of history to this unique and captivating property. Architecturally designed to embrace its picturesque surrounds, the home is a light filled sanctuary offering an outstanding lifestyle. Just moments from Lake Connewarre, five minutes (approx.) from all the shopping and amenities of Leopold, 15 minutes from the CBD, and on the gateway to all the beaches and attractions of the Bellarine, it delivers peaceful rural living, with urban convenience and coastal escapes.
Upon arrival there is an instant sense of serenity. A long driveway leads to the main residence, its angular design presenting a timeless architectural appeal. Entry into a spacious living area reveals a light-filled space with floor to ceiling north facing windows, polished timber floors, raked ceilings, and an open fireplace for a cosy and inviting atmosphere. An adjoining alfresco is fully enclosed with a glass ceiling, offering a stunning space for relaxing or entertaining whilst taking in the scenic surrounds.
The elevated kitchen and dining areas connect with the living and alfresco for easy everyday living and impressive entertaining. The elegant kitchen features a central island, granite benchtops, quality appliances including a Blanco wall oven, gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, two sinks, and generous storage with a walk-in pantry. A woodfire heater plus split system heating and cooling, ensure comfortable living all year round.
The luxurious main bedroom features a fully fitted dressing room, and bright ensuite with double vanity, spacious shower, and direct access to a private courtyard deck. Three further bedrooms are all generous in size, one with direct access to a well-equipped home office. The main bathroom enjoys a garden vista, while a large laundry, extensive storage provisions, mudroom, and double carport with direct internal entry cater for optimum functionality.
The second residence features an upstairs kitchen, dining and living space with connecting balcony. Three bedrooms on the ground floor, the main with walk-in robes and ensuite, accompanied by a family bathroom, large laundry and spacious rumpus room. A separate driveway and largegarage/shed allows for standalone living, perfect for extended family, guests, multi generational arrangements or rental income.
Surrounding grounds feature established gardens and mature trees, creating a lush and tranquil environment designed to be enjoyed.
Whether you choose to enjoy the entire property as your private sanctuary, offset your purchase with rental income from the second residence, or simply invest in an outstanding location, this rare acreage offers unmatched versatility, lifestyle appeal, and long term value.
