Overview
Northway Downs is a landmark estate located on the Mornington Peninsula, offering a rare combination of scale, tranquility, and opportunity. This significant lifestyle property encompasses approximately 64.88 acres (26.26 hectares) of productive vineyard, private wetlands, and manicured parkland, all situated just minutes from Balnarring Village and the Peninsula coastline.
The estate was originally developed by the Schindler family and is renowned for its cool-climate viticulture and peaceful rural setting. The vineyard spans fifteen acres and includes established plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio. Agricultural viability is supported by two dams, a bore water supply, and five large 22,000-liter tanks.
The main residence is privately positioned beyond a tree-lined driveway and features timeless European architectural character. It boasts timber gables, wraparound verandahs, and expansive views overlooking a floodlit tennis court and beautifully maintained gardens. The home includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms, each equipped with spa baths, as well as generous living spaces centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Additional amenities include a powder room and a large laundry, all designed to enhance everyday comfort.
Supporting infrastructure on the property includes three substantial sheds suitable for machinery, wine production, or storage. The estate also features fruit and olive groves and extensive rural fencing. The original Der Weingarten cellar door remains on site, presenting a compelling opportunity for boutique wine production, farm-to-table hospitality, or private events.
The property embraces abundant birdlife and native vegetation, with wetlands and gazebo gardens providing a rare sanctuary. Despite its rural privacy, the estate is conveniently located just three minutes from Balnarring Village and close to award-winning wineries, beaches, and equestrian estates.
Offered for the first time in decades, Northway Downs represents a unique convergence of rural potential, lifestyle privacy, and Mornington Peninsula prestige. This estate of remarkable scale offers genuine scope for future vision and development.
