Unbeatable lakeside views worth millions in Wallington sale

1162-1170 Bellarine Highway, Wallington.

A high-end Bellarine Peninsula home with unbeatable views across Lake Connewarre has found a buyer in a circa $5m sale.

The property at 1162-1170 Bellarine Highway, Wallington, was reported sold last week.

Elders Geelong rural and lifestyle manager Peter Lindeman said local buyers were upsizing from a smaller holding on the Bellarine Peninsula and were looking to run cattle on the 30ha lifestyle property.

But he said the home and its views were a significant drawcard.

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

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

“It would probably cost you close to $2m to build that house. That’s about 55 sqaures and 70 sqaures under roof with the veranda and it’s got amazing views, so you get some pretty handy sunsets,” he said.

The property is ideally suited to hay production, sheep or cattle grazing or horse equine pursuits, but the stunning views over Lake Connewarre and the surrounding farmland from the impressive homestead on the hill is perhaps its best characteristic.

That was captured when the architect-designed was built seven years ago by the vendor, who said 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,” the owner told the Advertiser when the property hit the market.

“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.”

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

The house has a fabulous indoor-outdoor connection.

Set right back away from the main highway, the magnificent homestead welcomes with a wraparound balcony and double-door entry through to a grand entrance hall, one the gallery-like spaces throughout the home.

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.
