Overview

Set in the seagrass meadows of Swan Bay, this property offers an exceptional coastal living experience. The expansive land feels limitless, blending native woodlands with open grassy spaces, creating a natural and serene environment. Located in an exclusive area, all neighboring properties on McDonald Road share a similar generous acreage of approximately 9 to 10 acres. The entrance is marked by impressive bluestone pillars and cast iron gates, leading to a circular driveway and welcoming verandah.

The charming 3-bedroom weatherboard cottage is surrounded by a 360-degree panoramic landscape. It has been lovingly maintained, preserving its original character while benefiting from modern upgrades. Natural light floods the interior, highlighting the hardwood flooring and large windows that frame the stunning views. The hallway connects the sleeping quarters and a spacious, upgraded bathroom. The open-plan living area includes a galley kitchen with an adjacent mudroom, dining, and lounge spaces, designed for comfortable family living.

The laundry, accessible from the verandah, doubles as an additional toilet and storage area, ideal for accommodating a second refrigerator. A large shed on the property houses a two-car lock-up garage along with a storage and workshop area, providing ample space for vehicles and projects. Outdoor entertaining options abound, with the choice of relaxing on the verandah or gathering around the fire pit and stone pizza oven for social occasions.

The vast acreage offers plenty of room for outdoor activities such as playing tiggy or kick-to-kick. A cubby house on stilts nestled among the trees provides a playful and imaginative space for children. The surrounding sheoak trees sway gently in the breeze, and a winding track leads down to the water’s edge, enhancing the connection to nature. The peaceful setting is free from street noise and traffic, with only the occasional sound of a neighboring farm’s rooster adding to the rural charm.

Currently used as a holiday rental, this property would make an excellent permanent residence. It offers exquisite privacy and uninterrupted views of the seascape, allowing residents to enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the water. This is a rare opportunity to own a private piece of paradise on the Bellarine Peninsula, combining natural beauty, tranquility, and comfortable living in a unique waterfront setting.
