The Bellarine produces so many hidden gems in the property market, especially in the lifestyle category, and it’s no different with Elders’ latest listing at 50 Sproules Road, Wallington.

Tucked away behind an avenue of soaring gums sits “Larks Rise” on just under 50 acres surrounded by lush countryside and green rolling hills, this tranquil property is a heavenly blend of rural and coastal life.

This property offers an exceptional farming lifestyle opportunity.

Situated just 10 minutes from Ocean Grove’s shoreline and 15 minutes from Point Lonsdale, the area is renowned for its award-winning restaurants and wineries as well as world class golf courses, surf beaches and highly regarded schools.

Elders rural and lifestyle manager Peter Lindeman said that when it came to rural lifestyle living, this property had it all.

“Acreage to do what you want without nosy neighbours giving you grief, a beautiful country home in a picturesque, sheltered position amongst pristine remnant vegetation, and close to all the Bellarine has on offer, what more could you want,” Mr Lindeman said.

“Run some stock or a more intensive rural enterprise, work from home or look at a tourism opportunity, the options are endless.

“Alternatively, lock yourself in and enjoy an uninterrupted rural lifestyle.”

Mr Lindeman said the sale of “Larks Rise” represented a great opportunity to purchase for a fantastic rural lifestyle in a convenient secluded location, but still within close proximity to city services.

“While not on the immediate horizon for development, this sale also represents an opportunity for land banking for the future, subject to council approval,” he said.

Architect designed and beautifully constructed, this home is at one with its natural landscape, striking in design yet blending effortlessly into the countryside in which it resides.

Dual living zones provide ample accommodation for large families and multigenerational living.

A central, sunken living space is warmed by a log fire and wrapped in stunning countryside views.

Crafted to maximise on a north-facing aspect and adorned with stunning vaulted ceilings, this home is as beautifully designed as it is functional.

Adjoining an open kitchen and dining space, hosting family and friends is an absolute delight. Recently renewed, this kitchen is teaming with sunlight and includes large stone benchtops, a built-in pantry and an array of cabinetry and storage space.

A second living zone provides a secluded area to relax. Open up this space to let the crisp country air in or cosy up beside the open fire. Easily separated from the rest of the home, this expansive portion of the dwelling can be closed off to create secluded living quarters.

Complete with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and ample room for extension, there is no limit to the opportunity this idyllic property offers.

All bedrooms contain built-in robes, while the master bedroom is positioned privately away from the remaining sleeping quarters.

Painting 360-degree pictures of the countryside and sea beyond, a three-storey tower provides a completely unique and utterly breathtaking way to enjoy the countryside.

Including an underground wine cellar, sitting room and rooftop viewing platform, this exceptional space is a sanctuary.

Providing enormous opportunity as a working or lifestyle farm, the almost 50 acres of grazing land contains two dams and town water, while all paddocks without dams contain water troughs.

 

Equipped to cater for crop, horses or sheep, all paddocks are fully fenced, the property also contains sheep yards, a loading ramp and a chicken shed.

Meticulously cared for and cherished for many years, the vibrant and established gardens that grow on this property are bursting with colour and can be easily maintained.

Just 25 minutes to Geelong, 45 minutes to Avalon Airport, and about 90 minutes to Melbourne CBD and Tullamarine Airport. The Portarlington-Melbourne and Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry services are also just a short drive away.
