Last Listing description (June 2026)

Widely celebrated as one of Portarlington's most distinguished homes, "The Vicarage" is a remarkable example of 19th-century architecture that has been thoughtfully restored to blend timeless elegance with modern-day comfort. This grand residence exudes a sense of charm, grace, and history that is rarely found, offering a unique opportunity to secure a piece of the Bellarine Peninsula's heritage.

Positioned on an impressive 1,104m (approx.) allotment the property boasts outstanding views across Port Phillip Bay. Its blue-chip location places you just metres from the vibrant town centre, where boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and the daily Port Phillip Ferry service to Melbourne are all within easy walking distance.

From the moment you step inside, the home's character captivates. Timber floorboards guide you through a series of beautifully preserved spaces, each rich with historical detail. Original timber-lined walls, soaring ceilings, and ornate fireplaces speak to the home's storied past, while elegant Venetian light fittings and lead-light doors add layers of charm and sophistication.

The kitchen is crafted from warm Blackwood timber and forms the heart of the home. It flows seamlessly into the spacious family room and extends through to a covered alfresco zone - perfect for year-round entertaining. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends for a summer gathering, this home offers versatile spaces to suit every season.

Comfort is assured with ducted gas heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and multiple open fireplaces that create a cosy ambiance throughout the cooler months. The home accommodates three generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light and character. A fourth room offers versatility as a home office, studio, or an additional bedroom.

Further enhancing its appeal, the home has been meticulously updated with modern conveniences including restumping, rewiring and replumbing, all completed with a respect for its heritage integrity. Wide passageways, Blackwood cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms, and a traditional return verandah complete this magnificent offering.

"The Vicarage" is more than a home-it is a legacy. Formerly operating as a luxury Bed & Breakfast the property will appeal given its potential to generate additional income.

An exquisite place to call home, just moments from the bay and everything the Bellarine Peninsula has to offer. This remarkable property is a must to inspect.
