Lonsdale Farm at Point Lonsdale is for sale with an asking price of $9.45-$10.3 million

A FRONT-ROW seat to a captivating and ever-changing nature show comes with the territory at “Lonsdale Farm”, a private sanctuary situated on the shoreline of Lake Victoria Wildlife Reserve on the Bellarine Peninsula.

With unfettered views across the lake to the primary dunes of Bass Strait and located 2km from Point Lonsdale’s beach and township, the property includes gently undulating pasture, shoreline saltmarsh and areas of Moonah woodland.

Agent Damian Cayzer said his vendors bought the property in 2008.

“Prior to that, it was used historically for running cattle and horses,” Mr Cayzer said.

“The owners were chasing a ‘country feel’ when they designed the house, sourcing their wide doors out of the former Queen Victoria Hospital, floorboards made of Sydney blue gum from an old Dalgety warehouse in South Australia and the front bluestone steps from a historic Victorian school.

“They used quarry-cut West Australian limestone for the construction and included 11-foot ceilings to give a sense of space.”

Alongside the homestead are the courtyard and deck, in-ground swimming pool, floodlit tennis court, remnant stables and pool house for guests, containing another bedroom, bathroom and lounge.

There are eight paddocks, with water supply assured by more than 167,000 litres in rainwater storage capacity.

“The limestone-type soils here drain well and the native pastures are always green,” Mr Cayzer said.

“Every second year the owners cut hay off a couple of paddocks, getting maybe 1000 square bales each time.”

Other infrastructure consists of an old dairy, stable complex with three boxes and tack room, chook shed, workshop and hay and machinery shedding.
