Absolute water frontage awaits at 138 Bay Shore Ave, Clifton Springs.


A waterfront property with private beach access is set to make a splash on the Bellarine Peninsula after hitting the market for $2.75m.

The 2165sq m haven in Clifton Springs has the rare luxury of a ramp leading to its own bayside boardwalk, perfect for launching small boats and water craft.

But you don’t have to venture down to the shoreline to enjoy expansive north-facing views across Port Phillip Bay.

Buxton agent Alex Wescott said the vista was front and centre inside the four-bedroom house at 138 Bay Shore Ave, Clifton Springs.

“It has got the most amazing views and when you are in the house it actually hits you right in the face,” he said.

“It has got fantastic 180-degree views of the water, it’s got views of the You Yangs, Geelong and Melbourne.”

He said the property was part of a select club, as one of only a small number along the stretch with private beach access.

Unlike some of its neighbours, it is also accessible all the way to the water’s edge and even has provision to launch a small boat.

A large deck for outdoor entertaining runs across the rear of the four-bedroom house.

The current owners have used the single-level brick residence featuring exposed timber beams, a brick fireplace and updated kitchen and bathrooms, as a holiday home.

An elevated deck off the main living area is a favourite hangout, overlooking the bay and established private gardens leading to a series of boardwalks and lookouts.

New owners have the option to further update the house, extend or demolish and build a new dream home, subject to council approval.

“It has definitely got scope for a renovation. It is outdated, it’s definitely got a holiday home feel about it but, in saying that, what you’re buying is those breathtaking views,” Mr Wescott said.

A brick fireplace is the centrepiece of the central living room.


The updated kitchen has stone benchtops. a 900mm oven and double drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher.

He said you would expect to pay many millions more for a listing of the some calibre on the Mornington Peninsula.

“It’s hard enough finding a property that owns all the way to the water in Victoria, let alone a north-facing one as well, especially on half an acre,” he said.

While listings on the exclusive Clifton Springs strip rarely come up for sale, another larger property at 126 Bay Shore Ave is also in the market for a new owner.

That five-bedroom house is currently listed with $4.3m price hopes.
