4404 Frankston Flinders Road, Flinders, VIC, 3929, Australia

Long held and much adored by the same family for 165 years, the rustic farmhouse sits amid a cornucopia of fruit trees. Delivering breathtaking views across Western Port Bay to the coastline of Phillip Island, this circa-1950s farmhouse on approximately 16 undulating acres of land captures the essence of the country-meets-coast lifestyle.

With endless scope to reimagine into the rural estate of your dreams, the long-held home awaits a modern update or total redevelopment into a grand country estate (STCA) worthy of this spectacular setting.

Backdropped to the north by a picture-postcard rolling vista of the bucolic surroundings reminiscent of Tuscany, the property cascades down to Musk Creek, which traverses the land to supply a plentiful water source for grazing livestock. With significant tax advantages available for primary cattle producers, ‘Mantonville’ may suit lifestyle lovers and farmers equally.

The long-held and owner-built residence boasts a comfortable rustic charm. Certainly inhabitable as you await plans and permits for a potential greater vision, it features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, and an open plan kitchen-come-dining room with a 90cm freestanding oven and original oven.

Flanked by an expansive wraparound deck with both covered and sun-splashed spaces, the outlook across the countryside, bay, and to The Nobbies and beyond is utterly mesmerising. Spilling down to the lawn, the edible gardens around the residence are rife with a cornucopia of fruit trees, prolific vegetable beds, and fragrant herbs.

Offering a miscellany of shedding, the property also supplies two freestanding sheds/garages with roller doors, a machinery shed, cow shed, and more. Ideally suited to cattle/sheep farming or equestrian interests, the fertile land in the heart of wine country could be used for any number of horticultural pursuits, from a vineyard to an apple orchard.

Just a two-minute drive to the sought-after Flinders town centre and moments to beaches and surf breaks, the property is zoned for Red Hill Consolidated School and Dromana Secondary College and is approximately 70 minutes to Melbourne.
