Description: Rising across 100 elevated acres of prime coastal land, Island Ranch stands as a monumental achievement in Australian rural living. Positioned to capture the shifting light of Westernport Bay, the estate offers an uninterrupted panorama that sweeps across the water to the Bass Hills and French Island. This is a property of immense architectural weight and material richness, defined by a single-minded pursuit of excellence. From the secured gates, a kilometer-long driveway creates a sense of ceremony upon arrival, leading to a hilltop masterpiece completed in 2024 that spans more than 110 squares of peerless luxury. The residence itself is a study in sophisticated design, characterised by a Colorado stone exterior and interiors finished with spotted gum ceilings and French-patterned travertine. High-volume living spaces are anchored by a sunken lounge and a grand marble island kitchen, all set beneath soaring ceilings and framed by full-height glazing. An 80-meter north-facing verandah provides a seamless transition to the outdoors, while the primary suite occupies a dedicated eastern wing complete with a 14-meter robe and a freestanding bath positioned against the horizon. Every secondary bedroom is a private suite in its own right, supported by modern essentials such as underfloor hydronic heating, climate automation and an integrated bar. Agricultural and equestrian pursuits are catered to with infrastructure that rivals professional training facilities. A world-class equestrian complex features six rubber-lined stables, a private gym and a groom's quarters, alongside a massive 80x40m floodlit arena. The estate's commitment to self-sufficiency is evidenced by its sophisticated off-grid energy system, including a 50kw solar array that services the expansive 15-bay machinery shed and workshop. The land is further utilised by a premium herd of Black Angus cattle supported by high-quality Duncan Equine fencing, rotational pastures and professional working yards. Beyond its physical grandeur, Island Ranch serves as a powerful financial asset. The property includes two additional dwellings, an original farmhouse and a cottage, that currently operate as thriving Airbnbs producing an exceptional annual income. Furthermore, the property's status as a primary production asset offers the distinct advantage of land tax exemption, ensuring significant long-term savings. Located moments from award-winning wineries, Newhaven College, and pristine surf beaches, Island Ranch represents a rare intersection of commercial viability, breathtaking scenery, and uncompromising prestige.
