Inspection by private appointment Epitomising the utmost in Peninsula lifestyle properties, Creadon Farm is an idyllic five-acre boutique retreat incorporating a beautiful Pinot Noir vineyard, a sprawling history-steeped homestead, a separate self-contained studio/wine tasting room, glorious gardens, a productive orchard, and resort-style alfresco amenities including a heated in-ground swimming pool. With garden or vineyard views from every room, the original Victorian-era residence has been elegantly enhanced and extended over the decades, incorporating soaring ceilings and generous proportions throughout, while traditional wood fireplaces, ceiling roses, and iron lacework all hark back to the home's origins. Centred around a sky-lit country-house stone-topped kitchen, complete with a Falcon freestanding electric range and an original wood-fire stove, the gracious, lovingly maintained home offers a choice of formal and informal living and dining spaces, sitting rooms and studies. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms plus self contained studio, offering flexibility and adaptably for multi-generational or dual family living. Completing the boutique resort lifestyle offerings is the 11-metre 'Enviro Swim' pool set in bluestone surrounds, with heat-pump heating enabling year-round usage, a wood-fire pizza oven, plus there are spacious park-like grounds shaded by towering gum trees, and an alfresco pavilion to enjoy the vineyard views. Producing one of the region's finest single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, the one-hectare vineyard extends towards the rear of the impeccably presented property. Framed by wisteria draped verandahs, the homestead's gardens are bursting with colourful and fragrant blooms, while winding paths border the lushly planted beds and lead to lawns centred with elegant fountains, and a commercially viable orchard of quince and pomegranate trees, which is the source of the farm's signature quince paste. Abundant vegetable gardens, stone fruit and citrus trees, and a chook pen complete the rural idyll. Set behind an automatic gate with ironbark post-and-rail fencing, a winding gravel driveway leads to a barn-style three-car garage, a separate workshop, and a self-contained studio, currently set up as a wine-tasting space. There is also plenty of visitor parking, and a wine storage cool room. This once-in-a-lifetime generational property is located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula just an hour's drive from Melbourne's CBD, five-minutes from Peninsula link, and within a 10 minute drive to Balnarring Village, Somers Beach and Hastings town centre.
