Lot 2: Comprising 23.50 ha – 58.10 acres approx with stunning views over Swan Bay, Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff and Port Phillip Heads, Suma Park is centred around the majestic Suma Park homestead standing as a proud reminder of its illustrious past. Designed by the esteemed J.T. Conlon, this late Victorian villa exudes a timeless elegance, its spacious rooms adorned with ornate fireplaces and soaring ceilings with stunning ceiling roses. Currently serving as a function space, there is potential to restore the original residence and reside in its historic splendour.

Accommodation includes the charming Mistress's Cottage, a two-bedroom Victorian treasure set within the estate's cottage gardens that was originally built to house Wilson’s mistress. A further 10 two-bed, two-bath cottages and a one bedroom studio cottage all surrounding a central picnic area.

The heritage-listed stables are currently utilised as a picturesque wedding venue; however, this space offers potential to reinstate stabling for 12 horses. The property also includes a Conference Centre with a full kitchen, games room, and indoor swimming pool.

Outdoors, Suma Park unfolds into a tapestry of rural beauty. The 11-acre vineyard of primarily Chardonnay and Pinot Noir offers a tantalizing venture for wine entrepreneurs with an opportunity to re-establish a cellar door or lease the vineyard out. Additional features include a full-size cricket oval with pavilion, offering a quintessentially Australian experience, while the tennis court awaits a revival. The remaining farmland, with its multiple outbuildings and cattle yards, presents an opportunity for agricultural pursuits or land banking for future development (STCA).

The estate's connection to the Bellarine Railway adds an enchanting dimension. The Suma Park Station is now a 4 carriage platform built by the Bellarine Railways in particular for the benefit of the Blues Train and Q Train also enhancing the property's charm and offering unique photo opportunities and a nostalgic touch to weddings and events.

Suma Park Estate is an investment in a piece of history with limitless possibilities for a buyer who sees beyond the tangible to the potential that lies within.
