“Quarry Vineyard - 9.14 Breathtaking Acres Close to Geelong”
Climb the picturesque driveway alongside the historic limestone quarry, and discover a hidden four bedroom homestead amidst acres of grape vines. Offering breathtaking views across The Barrabool Hills, this 9.14 acre (3.7Ha) allotment sits in a sought-after pocket, minutes from Geelong. Enjoy a semi rural lifestyle 15 minutes from Torquay and close to the Bellarine Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road with its beautiful beaches. The Ring road is within easy access for a 1 hour commute to Melbourne.
Fertile clay soils and the north facing hillside climate produce fruit with intense colour and flavour. The 500 irrigated vines include Pinot Noir and Semillon varieties. There is infrastructure in place for up to 4500 vines. Grapes can be sold to local wineries or alternatively, value-add by producing your own wine in the fully equipped winery.
The homestead is nestled into the hill protecting it from the south. The floor plan opens out through floor-to-ceiling windows to capitalise on the stunning rural vistas. Formal and informal living zones face north ensuring panoramic rural views across Waurn Ponds valley, passive solar gain and optimal living conditions.
The brick home has a substantial floor plan across one level. The gabled exterior features dormer windows that link to attic storage space. The interior is graced with natural light, beautiful views and the serene feeling of absolute privacy.
The country-style kitchen boasts quality appliances and is proportioned for both cooking and informal dining. Highlights include the wide French-style windows and ample preparation space. The kitchen flows to a living/dining area with gorgeous views of the hills, a wood burning fire, RC AC and exposed beams. Across the formal entrance find the large lounge with elegant bay window seat. The timber-lined study, with built-in bar, also shares the north and western valley views.
The bedrooms, large bathroom (with shower and spa bath), toilet and laundry bud off a central hallway. The bedrooms are double in size with built-in robes. The master terminates the hallway boasting a fabulous dual outlook.
The double carport and paved outdoor living area access the kitchen. Concrete paving surrounds the home providing many scenic nooks to sit and ponder.
There is an established orchard and citrus trees, with infrastructure in place for further development.
Significant outbuildings include; a 5x12m shed for machinery storage and winery, a spacious workshop with power and water, tractor and machinery shed, storage sheds and a chicken coop.
Importantly, the land is subdividable (STCA), the minimum average subdivision 3.7acres (1.5Ha), the smallest land size 2.47acres (1.0Ha). Graced with exceptional North West facing valley views and potential views back to Geelong, the smaller allotments would have significant demand. The limestone quarry (approximately 20,000m3) is the feature that inspired the property's name Quarry Vineyard.
This much-loved property is a very special place. View and discover its allure!
