'Ballara' – A Living Legacy of Australia's Federation Story
Ballara meaning "Resting Place" is a property of exceptional national, cultural, and environmental significance, nestled in the historic coastal hamlet of Point Lonsdale. Offered for sale for the first time after 117 years of continuous family ownership, this estate represents a once in a lifetime opportunity.Constructed in 1907 as a private family coastal retreat for Alfred Deakin, three-time Prime Minister of Australia and a founding father of the nation, Ballara is a rare and tangible connection to Australia's early Federation era.
A lookout atop the house reveals sweeping views across the Heads of Port Phillip Bay towards Queenscliff and Sorrento, while the generous kitchen and garden connected entertaining spaces continue to host family gatherings and celebrations.
The surrounding garden, designed in harmony with the natural environment long before "native gardens" were fashionable. She-oaks, grass trees, moonahs, and tea trees shelter heaths and rare orchids. This living museum of coastal flora remains a vital remnant of Bellarine heathland, a landscape that inspired Deakin and continues to enchant.
The property also offers potential for ecological enhancement and protection through environmental covenanting with Trust for Nature. A covenant safeguards the land's unique values and now includes Land Tax relief, supporting both conservation and stewardship.
Around 95 minutes to Melbourne, 30 minutes to Geelong and benefiting from Searoad Ferry access from Queenscliff and Port Phillip Ferry at Portarlington.
