Prestigious Aireys Inlet coastal estate presented to market

AIREYS Inlet is a treasured community. The locals love it and visitors and holidaymakers adore it.

Protected by the pristine Otway National Park hinterland that encircles the village, Aireys Inlet is on the radar of investors, especially the larger holdings that offer diversity and a chance to own a large chunk of natural Aireys beauty close to the Great Ocean Road.

The town’s most recent listing presents a rare opportunity to secure a significant 20.7-hectare site in one of the Surf Coast’s most tightly-held lifestyle destinations.

A landmark coastal holding along one of Australia’s most celebrated coastlines has been brought to market, with Colliers and Moonah Real Estate launching 1005 Great Ocean Road, Aireys Inlet, on behalf of Australian businessman Malcolm Freake.

The expansive property presents a rare opportunity for purchasers to secure a significant landholding with versatility for premium residential and selected commercial uses (STCA).

Nestled between the coastline and native bushland, the property includes the renowned Spanish-inspired residence known as Jumbunna, initially created by Dame Joan Hammond, one of Australia’s most celebrated opera sopranos and an artist of international renown.

 

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features sweeping ocean views, a pool, tennis court and private helipad. Designed to capture the tranquillity of its surrounds, it offers exceptional privacy and a resort-style atmosphere.

Ben Young, Colliers Geelong branch manager, said 1005 Great Ocean Road is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

“Its scale, seclusion and extraordinary setting make it unique, and the future potential here is enormous.

“Whether considering a private estate, a luxury retreat or a blend of residential and low-impact commercial uses, this site gives purchasers a rare level of freedom to imagine what comes next.”

Darcy Bennett, principal of Moonah Real Estate, said Aireys Inlet is unlike anywhere else on the Surf Coast.

“It has a genuine village feel, incredible natural beauty and a sense of exclusivity that people value deeply.

“You’re moments from beaches, walking trails and the iconic Split Point Lighthouse, yet far from the intensity of the major coastal centres.

“That’s exactly why properties like this attract so much interest – they’re simply not making any more of them.”

The campaign is led by Colliers’ Ben Young and Ned Tansey, alongside Moonah Real Estate’s Darcy Bennett and Simon Bogdanov, with the property offered via expression of interest, closing Wednesday, 15 April at 2pm.
