310 Scotchmans Rd, Drysdale, is selling via expressions of interest for $6.6m – $7.2m.
A strong appetite for Bellarine Peninsula properties offering the twin benefits of land and legacy is expected to fan interest a premium farm listed for $6.6m to $7.2m.
The 32ha Stoneacres estate, at 310 Scotchmans Rd, Drysdale, offers commanding views over Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula from its elevated position.

A second self-contained house at the property, which has previously operated as a cafe and event space, provides additional accommodation and flexibility.
RT Edgar, Bellarine listing agent Holly Hakins said Stoneacres was unlike anything else on in the region.
“Stoneacres stands apart because it performs on every level – productive acreage, established equine and livestock infrastructure, and an elevated position that captures sweeping bay views rarely seen on working rural land,” she said.
“Opportunities like this are exceptionally scarce. Large-scale rural holdings with uninterrupted bay views and close proximity to Geelong, Melbourne ferry connections and the Surf Coast rarely come to market.”
The main house retains its classic period facade.
Manicured gardens are the perfect place to enjoy the view.
Open fireplaces anchor the living areas.
She said there was currently strong interest in property in the area offering both land and legacy.
“Stoneacres clearly fits that brief, appealing to buyers seeking scale, privacy and long-term value,” she said.
A top floor sunroom with panoramic views is every direction is the crowning glory of the main four-bedroom, three-bathroom house.
The multi-level residence combines classic heritage features such as high ceilings and polished timber floors with modern upgrades such as a well-equipped kitchen and basement wine cellar.
A bluestone entrance sets the tone for its landscape grounds, which are complemented by extensive farming infrastructure.
The second dwelling has its own driveway, a spa bathroom and extensive decking.
The former cafe offers a potential income stream.
The sand arena is among substantial equine infrastructure.
The property has 11 main horse paddocks, six with shelters, featuring troughs and post-and-rail fencing and four livestock paddock.
A sand-based dressage arena, purpose-built stable, yards, wash bays and extensive shedding are geared towards equine pursuits.
Two substantial dams exceed 5 megalitres, while six rainwater tanks provide a 365,000-litre storage capacity.
Expressions of interest in Stoneacres close on February 27 at 3pm.
