A showstopping waterfront estate with a private jetty, three-hole golf course and 180-degree bay views has hit the market on an exclusive Bellarine Peninsula strip.

The 2.14ha property at 32-40 Avila Rd, Curlewis, is described as “one of the region’s most remarkable private residences”.

But resort-style surrounds of this calibre don’t come cheap – buyers can expect to pay $8.5m to $9.35m for the privilege.

A sleek, four-bedroom house designed by NMBW Architecture Studio is the centrepiece of the estate, offering panoramic views across Corio and Port Phillip bays.

The extensive list of lifestyle features includes an indoor-outdoor infinity swimming pool, tennis court and expansive lawns extending to the north-facing waterfront.

There’s even a private desalination plant to ensure an independent water supply to keep the garden and golf course looking their best.

Kerleys Coastal Real Estate managing director Damian Cayzer is calling for expressions of interest in the property by April 10.

He said in more than three decades of selling premium real estate, he’d never encountered such an impressive array of resort-style features.

The property’s private jetty is a rare luxury.


Large windows frame the view across the bay to the You Yangs in the living area.


The central courtyard creates a shelter space for outdoor entertaining.


“The water views are breathtaking, the land size provides so much opportunity beyond a beautiful residence and it’s 16km from Geelong’s CBD or 14km from the rolling surf at Ocean Grove,” Mr Cayzer said.

“Properties of this calibre, with direct water access, acreage scale and lifestyle amenities, rarely come to market. It makes the location both prestigious and highly desirable.”

He said the private jetty was a standout feature, given how few properties had the luxury of water access.

He added that the house itself was exceptional, striking a balance between intimate private spaces and expansive entertainment zones.

Built 16 years ago from concrete, glass and iron, the two-storey residence is designed around a central courtyard and offers water views from almost every room.

This gallery-like hallway, with built-in seating and space for a piano, can be closed off as required.


The main living zone takes indoor-outdoor flow to the next level, with direct access to the pool on the west and the courtyard to the east.

A large balcony off the main bedroom suite upstairs provides another private vantage point for passing ships.

The new owners will also enjoy a children’s wing and a large office with multiple workstations.

Mr Cayzer said the galley-inspired layout catered to both family living and grand scale entertaining.

“You can enjoy the intimacy of private spaces or the expansiveness of free flowing indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces, while the lift provides ease of access across levels,” he said.

Only two properties have sold in Avila Rd, Curlewis, in the past eight years.

The most recent, anther resort-style home at 12-24 Avila Rd, set a new benchmark for the street when it sold for $7.2m in November last year.
