This stunning, high-end home epitomises the rural lifestyle at its finest.

Set on 30ha of prime agricultural land in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula, 1162-1170 Bellarine Highway, Wallington, is a rare find, says Peter Lindeman, Elders rural and lifestyle sales manager.

“Rarely do properties of this calibre in Wallington come on the market,” he says.

“This sale represents a great opportunity to purchase in a tightly held sought-after location providing a prestige rural lifestyle with easy access to Geelong and Melbourne.”

Why South Geelong home was the perfect wedding venue

The impressive homestead has beautiful views over Lake Connewarre and surrounds.


Ideally suited to hay production, sheep or cattle grazing or horse equine pursuits, this expansive property boasts stunning views over Lake Connewarre and the surrounding farmland from the impressive homestead on the hill.

Architecturally designed, the home was built seven years ago by the vendor, Benjamin Stephenson, who says capturing the “country outlook” and the views of Lake Connewarre were at the forefront of both the design and build.

“In the whole of the Bellarine Peninsula, you don’t get sunset views over the water, this home does, and they are truly amazing,” Mr Stephenson says.

“Facing west, in any weather, you see the sunset coming across the water – there are 360- degree views you can enjoy from the way the house has been designed.”

The outdoor entertainment area, with pool, is perfect for hosting family at Christmas.


A cathedral ceiling with exposed rafters adds to the sense of space in the kitchen.


Set right back away from the main highway, the magnificent homestead welcomes you with its wraparound balcony and double-door entryway through to a grand entrance hall, inviting you to immerse yourself in the gallery-like spaces throughout the home.

“The space, style, as well as its privacy and location, are my favourite things about the property,” Mr Stephenson says.

This spaciousness is evident throughout all areas of the home, including the lounge and family rooms which feature high ceilings with exposed trusses, extensive glazing with sheer curtains, hardwood floors and a sandstone mantel and fireplace.

The kitchen, too, is expansive and includes an oversized island bench plus a long bench under the window with a second breakfast bar/servery overlooking the rolling fields. High- end appliances include a teppanyaki grill, and the dual-entry walk-in pantry provides ample additional storage space.

A feature stone fireplace is the centrepiece of this living room.


The house has a fabulous indoor-outdoor connection.


Mr Stephenson, who has lived at the property with his family since its build, says many features, including an in-built pool and trampoline, spacious bedrooms, and a family bathroom, are perfect for families of all ages and sizes to enjoy, as well as for entertaining.

“This house has so much room for any large gathering which is a real bonus,” he says. “Our best times were Christmas and children’s birthdays, plus barbecues and of course hot days with family and friends in the pool.”

Its location, 500m from Adventure Park and the Flying Brick Cider House, has also been a drawcard.

Elders, Geelong agent Peter Lindeman is calling for expression of interest in 1162-1170 Bellarine Highway, Wallington by 5pm on October 23.

Price hopes are $5.5m to $6.1m.
