825 Great Ocean Road

Eastern View VIC 3231

Offers required by November 23 2026Owned by only two families since 1879, this remarkable and historic 50.61 hectare holding (approx. 126 acres over 2 titles) at Eastern View presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity for its next owner to become only the third custodian of arguably the best private property on the Great Ocean Road. Positioned between two magnificent natural boundaries, with a world class coastline on one side and the Great Otway National Park on the other, the property offers a sense of privacy, space and connection with the landscape that is unique on so many levels. From its elevated pastures, world class views sweep along the stunning 6km beach to the Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet, while the surrounding Otway Ranges provide a beautiful natural backdrop.The property has a rich history. As well as being a working farm supplying produce to Lorne, it was once home to guest facilities, a Post Office and a telephone exchange servicing the local area.Today, the property enjoys the privilege of being positioned so that you can leave home and within moments walk, swim, surf or simply wander along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Australia. The predominantly easterly aspect is another important part of the propertys appeal. Much of the holding enjoys excellent morning and daytime sun, while its position provides valuable protection from the prevailing westerly weather. Permanent natural springs provide an enduring water resource and the fertile open pastures allow the property to continue its long history as a working farm if desired. For those for whom lifestyle is the prerequisite, the scale of the offering creates something equally compelling. The 7 bedroom residence with 3 separate living areas provides ample room for extended family and friends, while the tennis court and extensive grounds allow generations to gather here without ever feeling crowded. It is the sort of property where Christmases, holidays and family traditions will become part of its next chapter, just as they have for the current family over many years.Perhaps its greatest luxury, however, is something increasingly difficult to buy at any price: privacy. Here there is room to disappear from the world without being disconnected from it, surrounded by ocean, farmland and national park in a setting of exceptional natural beauty.For almost 150 years, only two families have had the privilege of calling this property their own. The next owner will acquire much more than a substantial coastal holding. They will inherit a remarkable piece of Great Ocean Road history and the opportunity to protect, enjoy and ultimately pass on something genuinely irreplaceable.
