Basils Farm is an extraordinary Bellarine Peninsula property set on 2.93ha - 7.23 acres approx. of fertile coastal land with sweeping, breathtaking views across Swan Bay to historic Queenscliff. An icon of coastal living, sustainability, and enterprise. A landscape shaped by care and creativity, it has evolved into a celebrated destination.
At the heart of the property sits the charming, hatted restaurant, where panoramic bay views fill every window and the scent of herbs drifts from the kitchen garden. Expansive lawns sweep toward the water's edge, framed by orchards, vegetable beds, and gardens alive with lavender, rosemary, and the humming of bees. This relaxed elegance has made Basils Farm a beloved venue for weddings, long lunches, and gatherings, capturing the essence of coastal sophistication with authentic, earthy charm, where nature and cultivation thrive in perfect harmony. With town water, a productive vineyard, and organically farmed gardens, the estate reflects deep respect for the land and its bounty, offering a lifestyle immersed in beauty, balance, and abundance.
For its next custodian, Basils Farm offers exceptional scope, whether to continue its legacy as a renowned hospitality destination or embrace it as a private coastal retreat. With rich soil and established infrastructure it invites vision, connection, and creativity. Few properties hold such resonance, a place of harmony, belonging, and purpose. Just 10 minutes to Queenscliff and Portarlington, 30 minutes to Geelong, and around 95 minutes to Melbourne, this is a rare opportunity to shape Basils Farm's next beautiful chapter.
