A Landholding Beyond Compare

In 1972, one family purchased a piece of Point Lonsdale and planted the seed of an olive tree. More than five decades later, that tree still stands beside the garage, a living reminder of the generations who have called this place home. Christmas gatherings became treasured traditions, while fiercely contested tennis matches brought family and friends together on the grass court that once occupied the eastern lawn. Spanning an extraordinary 1,675 sqm (approx.) across two separate titles, this remarkable landholding carries a rich holiday history, with the freedom to create an entirely new future.

The home has grown and adapted over the years, its seven bedrooms and three bathrooms offering flexibility for family life. Downstairs, the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area benefits from a northern orientation that draws in natural light. The sage and white kitchen retains its original personality alongside an upright electric oven and Bosch dishwasher. Sliding doors open west to the patio and the astonishing breadth of lawn beyond. A home office/storage room and reverse cycle air conditioning, including in all four upstairs bedrooms, make the layout practical for everyday life.

Outside, the double garage and workshop has long doubled as an outdoor kitchen, hosting countless gatherings beneath the magnificent olive tree's leafy canopy. Further olive trees line the eastern boundary alongside established stone fruit trees, while the faint outline of the former grass tennis court remains visible across the lawn. The sheer expanse of open space is something increasingly difficult to find.

Occupying a quiet, family friendly pocket, the property is an easy walk from Emily’s Pond and the golf club, with the village and beaches close at hand. Children can cycle to school or sport in minutes. Keep the home as a gathering place, explore subdivision or redevelopment, or consider building on the adjoining title while retaining the original residence for holiday income (STCA). After 54 years in one family, the next story is yours to write.
