Jacqui Felgate buys $4.35m luxury Mornington Peninsula retreat

After much speculation, news presenter Jacqui Felgate’s multi-million dollar lifestyle shift has been revealed. Take a look inside.

Jacqui Felgate’s $4.35m Mornington Peninsula estate spans almost 4ha and features a sustainably designed minimalist farmhouse with sweeping rural views.

Jacqui Felgate has joined the Mornington Peninsula elite, snapping up a $4m-plus eco-luxe estate with husband Michael and their two daughters.

Property documents confirm the couple purchased the over-7ha property earlier this year, finalising the sale in February after a month-long campaign.

The 3AW Drive presenter, former 7News anchor and now prominent digital commentator referred at the move on her Instagram page, telling followers she had “finally bought” while posting a series of images tagged to the Peninsula, including a cosy shot of herself in front of a striking two-way fireplace.

The home, built with blackbutt and silvertop ash timber, wraps around the fireplace and showcases sweeping views through double-glazed windows.

A sundeck runs the length of the home, with the open-plan kitchen and dining zone finished in high-end stone, a Falcon range, and a butler’s pantry.

The estate also has a separate wing with three bedrooms, another fireplace, and a designer bathroom with a luxurious bathtub.

The home’s two-way fireplace is a sculptural centrepiece, dividing the open-plan living and dining zones while framing panoramic countryside views.

The bathroom wing includes a freestanding scalloped tub, handmade Spanish tiles and floor-to-ceiling glass capturing the surrounding landscape.

The home’s eco credentials are boosted with a solar and battery system, while the rich Mornington Peninsula soil profile makes it suitable for a vineyard or primary production.

An industry source familiar with the sale said the home offered “exactly what high-end buyers are chasing right now, privacy, lifestyle, and a low-maintenance architectural design that blends into the landscape”.

“The market in that part of the Peninsula has held up well. Quality homes like this, especially with acreage and strong sustainability features, are still commanding attention,” the source said.

Records show the property was listed with $5.3m-$5.6m price hopes, before selling for $4.35m.

The listing agent declined to comment on the sale.

The new home offers a peaceful escape minutes from some of Victoria’s best restaurants, wineries and walking trails.

The main bedroom opens directly onto a full-width sundeck, offering uninterrupted views across the rolling landscape.
