Set at the top of Mount Best, Lonsdale Homestead offers world-class ocean, green hill and mountain views over Wilson’s Promontory, Corner Inlet and Sandy Point.
This 20.5-hectare (50-acre) approx. property combines artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary luxury, creating a serene and extremely private retreat.
Crafted by a team of master stonemasons, the homestead showcases extraordinary artistry and attention to detail. The solid stone construction has been meticulously enhanced with high-quality glazing and contemporary interiors, ensuring the home’s enduring beauty is matched by its modern functionality.
The result is a home where timeless beauty meets solid, practical comfort.
Enjoy winters by the wood fire, watching storms roll over Wilson’s Prom, or summers soaking in shimmering turquoise sea views. The elevated stone veranda allows eye contact with soaring eagles riding the mountain updrafts. ‘Bunjil’, a two-metre carved eagle by Local artist Andrew McPherson, welcomes you at the gate.
Inside, a farm-style kitchen with stone walls and timber floors features a wood-fired Rayburn and contemporary conveniences. The adjacent dining area opens to an expansive terrace with panoramic views. The lounge boasts a stone hearth, wood fire, air-conditioning, and vast double-glazed windows framing the ever-changing landscape. The perfect place to entertain old and new friends, maybe as part of the seasonal neighbourhood degustation dinners.
The main level includes two bedrooms with eye catching views, built-in robes and a shared natural stone and marble central bathroom. Downstairs, the master suite and adjacent bathroom offers a private retreat with a sauna and direct access to an outdoor bath and shower.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a stone barbecue area, fire pit, tennis court raised vegetable beds, and an orchard.
Farm infrastructure includes a barn, renovated shearing shed, hay shed, and paddocks with rich pastures, 3 dams, and gravity-fed water troughs.
Connected to the power grid with a 5kW solar system, rainwater tanks, and a security system, this property ensures comfort and peace of mind.
Ideally located just 12km approx. from Toora, 16km approx. from Foster, and under 2.5 hours approx. from Melbourne, the property also offers convenient access to Wilson’s Promontory National Park, the stunning beaches at Sandy Point and Waratah Bay and the Tarra-Bulga National Park cool temperate rainforest with its waterfalls and 400 year old forest.
