A private rural retreat of exceptional quality on the Bellarine Peninsula

THE best of the Bellarine is on show with Elders’ recent listing of an extraordinary lifestyle property at Marcus Hill.

Picture perfect, Djildjil, located at 671-719 Banks Road, is a peaceful and private lifestyle opportunity perfectly positioned in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula.

This breathtaking property on just over 53 acres offers a rare lifestyle opportunity that beautifully blends coastal living with country charm.

Elders rural and lifestyle sales manager Peter Lindeman said this rare offering was a real showstopper.

“When you think of all the elements that make for a perfect acreage lifestyle property close to the coast, this property has them all: beautiful country meets coastal timber home, pool, lush lawns and stylish landscaping, all within a sheltered area of verdant vegetation.

 

“Not only does this beautiful property feature all this, there is a significant amount of acres to use as you wish, explore your hobbies, try your hand at farming, or just sit back and enjoy the oasis that could be all yours.”

Framed by stunning landscape views and lush surroundings, the custom-designed residence features four spacious bedrooms plus a study, multiple living zones, and luxurious appointments throughout.

With 10-foot ceilings, eco-friendly inclusions, and an abundance of natural light, every element of the home is thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and elegance.

At the heart of the home is a north-facing, open-plan living hub warmed by a wood fire, which opens to a wraparound verandah overlooking a sparkling in-ground pool.

 

The gourmet kitchen, fitted with premium Siemens and Miele appliances, granite chip benchtops, and a walk-in pantry, is a dream for entertainers and everyday living alike.

The home boasts a luxurious master suite with French door access to the verandah, a deluxe ensuite with twin vanities, and a walk-in robe.

Three additional robed bedrooms are located in a separate wing, serviced

by a beautifully updated central bathroom featuring Caesarstone benchtops as well as a freestanding bath.

Energy efficiency is front of mind, with a 13.2kW solar system and Tesla Powerwall battery, ensuring year-round sustainability.

 

A three-car garage, multiple living zones, a rumpus room, and a versatile study complete the family-focused layout.

Beyond the home there are six water-fed paddocks, a dam, chicken coop, veggie gardens, and extensive shedding add functionality to the property’s charm.

Ideal for hobby farming, viticulture, sheep and cattle grazing or horse agistment, the land supports a true rural lifestyle just five minutes from Ocean Grove shopping and schooling, and within easy reach of wineries, beaches, and coastal towns like Point Lonsdale and Barwon Heads. Just over 20 minutes to Geelong and around 1.5 hours to Melbourne.

 

The current owners cherish this property as a “private oasis” where celebrations, gatherings, and family milestones have flourished.

Family and friends love staying here and being connected to nature.

It’s like having your own park — once you drive into the property you are disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. From wedding ceremonies to bonfire nights, this exceptional estate offers space, serenity, and endless potential.
