A rare opportunity to secure one of Balnarring’s most significant lifestyle holdings, Northway Downs Estate combines 64.88 acres (26.26 hectares) approx. of productive vineyard, private wetlands and manicured parkland within minutes of Balnarring Village and the Peninsula coastline.


Originally developed by the Schindler family, the estate has long been admired for its cool-climate viticulture and tranquil rural ambience. Fifteen acres of established vines Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio trace the undulating landscape, with two dams, bore water supply and five 22,000 L tanks ensure enduring agricultural viability.


The main residence, privately positioned beyond the tree-lined drive, evokes timeless European character with its timber gables, wraparound verandahs and expansive views over the floodlit tennis court and gardens. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms (all with spa baths) complement generous living spaces centred around a wood-burning fireplace, powder room and large laundry enhancing everyday comfort.


Supporting infrastructure includes three substantial sheds suitable for machinery, wine production or storage plus fruit and olive groves, and extensive rural fencing. The estate’s original Der Weingarten cellar door remains a compelling prospect for boutique wine revival, farm-to-table hospitality or private events.


Embracing abundant birdlife and native vegetation, the property’s wetlands and gazebo gardens provide a rare sanctuary only three minutes from Balnarring Village and close to award-winning wineries, beaches and equestrian estates.


Offered for the first time in decades, Northway Downs represents a unique convergence of rural potential, lifestyle privacy and Mornington Peninsula prestige an estate of remarkable scale with genuine scope for future vision.
