440 Vickerys Road, Bellbrae, Vic 3228

Just 10 minutes from Torquay and Bells Beach, this special property offers a rare mix of privacy, natural beauty and future potential. Set on 12 acres in one of Bellbrae’s most tightly held pockets, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and settle in.

The current owners have poured love into the home and land, creating a retreat that feels grounded, warm and connected to its surroundings. Bordering Spring Creek and surrounded by established bushland, the land thrives with native plants, wildlife and rich soil—perfect for horses, a boutique vineyard, or a market garden.

The existing mudbrick home faces north and is full of character. Cathedral ceilings, timber features, French doors, and a farmhouse kitchen make it feel relaxed and lived-in. In contrast, modern updates like hydronic heating, double glazing and Velux skylights make it incredibly comfortable all year round.

The kitchen opens to an alfresco area draped in wisteria, with views across the garden and bush beyond. It’s the perfect spot for long lunches, evening meals or a quiet coffee in the morning sun.

The main residence has three bedrooms, a central bathroom, and a separate laundry room, but the real bonus is the barn. It offers incredible flexibility, currently set up with additional bedrooms and living spaces. It could be a guest retreat, a yoga or art studio, a play space for the kids, or even converted into a second residence if you choose to go that way (STCA).

This is a property that makes self-sufficiency possible, with a 6 kw solar system, a one-million-litre dam, veggie beds, two glasshouses, an orchard, composting systems, a woodlot and commercial-grade irrigation already in place.

It’s ideal for anyone who values nature, mindfulness, time in the garden, and a slower pace. Whether you’re chasing peace, a sustainable lifestyle, a place to keep horses, or dreaming of establishing your own vineyard or garden business, this property gives you the space and freedom to shape it your way.

A rare chance to secure something truly soulful in Bellbrae.
