As the morning sun climbs over the You Yangs and dawn breaks over the Geelong countryside, 'Belvedere' has a front-row seat.

Set on the banks of the Barwon River and with history dating back to 1854, this magnificent estate presents as arguably one of the finest rural lifestyle properties in Victoria.

Boasting 4km's of river frontage (approx.), flat to undulating productive farming land, hundreds of ancient river Red Gums, natural billabongs, a wide array of birdlife and some of the best views available in the Greater Geelong region - this is a property that must be seen to be believed!

Located at the end of a long & private driveway and set amongst beautiful gardens and trees, this expansive estate boasts a magnificent family homestead sitting atop a rocky outcrop in an elevated position enjoying 360 degree panoramic views over the Barwon River, Barrabool Hills and countryside.

Circa 1854 the original bluestone residence has been carefully renovated and extended to take advantage of the premium location and expansive views.

Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms (main bedroom with ensuite & walk-in-robe, bedrooms 2 & 3 with WIR's, bedroom 4/guest quarters with ensuite & retreat), 3 bathrooms, a formal lounge room with OFP, large home office with garden views, family/lounge room, dining area plus a beautifully appointed kitchen with extensive bench space & storage plus a Butler's pantry.

The home is further supported by a large laundry, mudroom incl separate toilet plus a wrap-around verandah which takes in the beautiful garden vista and supreme elevated views over the valley, river and countryside. Downstairs is a teenagers or artists paradise with a large lounge / living space plus an adjoining 3 car remote garage, with internal home access up a short flight of stairs.

Externally the estate is superbly structured across a significant holding of 476 acres with 11 main paddocks, 5 dams, a variety of planted shelter belts, 12.3ML rural water license, windmill with pump (for river water), 140 000L tank water (approx), wool shed (2 stand), 6 bay machinery shed, 5 bay hay/machinery shed, 5 bay workshop/garage, cattle yards, a chook pen, quality fencing, driveways and accessibility.

The property is complimented by 57ha of highly fertile and productive river flats and 20ha of revegetated land which has been carefully protected & revegetated over the last 25 years with native trees & shrubs.

With frontage to both Volum & Kahls Roads this unparalleled rural holding is perfect for cattle, sheep, equine and mixed-farming pursuits coupled with rare & enviable river frontage in a dress-circle position.

The Barwon River precinct of Gnarwarre is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after and tightly held pockets of the Greater Geelong region, conveniently located only 15 minutes from the Princes Hwy/Ring Road access, 20 minutes to the Geelong CBD, 30 minutes to the famous Surf Coast beaches and 1hr 20 minutes from Melbourne.
