644-662 Anakie Road, Lovely Banks, Vic 3213

Nestled high on the top of Lovely Banks, this magnificent Colonial-inspired homestead offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity — where classic elegance meets thoughtful modern living, all on a beautifully landscaped and low-maintenance 3.71-acre allotment.

From the moment you arrive, the home commands attention. A full wraparound verandah frames the residence, inviting you to slow down and take in the panoramic outlooks across gently rolling paddocks and manicured gardens. Surrounded by peaceful seclusion yet only minutes from everything, this is a property that perfectly balances privacy, prestige, and convenience.

Step inside and immediately feel the warmth and quality that defines this home. Gleaming polished hardwood floors flow underfoot, while soaring ceilings and wide hallways enhance the sense of space. Every inch of this residence has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained — offering a true sanctuary for growing families or those seeking a multigenerational setup.

The expansive floorplan is cleverly zoned to accommodate all stages of life. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with his and hers walk-in robes, split system heating and cooling, and a luxurious ensuite boasting dual vanities and an oversized shower. A second spacious bedroom with built-in robes and its own split system is located near a full third bathroom — ideal for guests, extended family or teenagers seeking their own space. Meanwhile, the separate children’s wing includes bedrooms three and four, each with built-in robes and split systems, plus a large family bathroom, separate powder room, and ample linen storage.

At the heart of the home lies the striking entertainer’s kitchen, featuring quality appliances from Miele and St George, dual ovens (including a self-cleaning model), gas cooktop, dishwasher, island bench with extra power points, and an abundance of storage including a corner pantry. It’s a space made for home-cooked meals, Sunday roasts, and hosting loved ones with ease.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the open-plan dining area easily accommodates large gatherings, while the main living room combines cozy comfort with country charm. A Heat Charm wood fire adds a rustic touch, and elegant French doors open to allow natural light and leafy views to spill in, further connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

A second lounge, currently fitted as a home theatre, includes a projector, screen, and split system — perfect for family movie nights, kids’ sleepovers, or simply unwinding in peace.

Practicality is a hallmark of this property. A generous walk-in linen press, additional linen cupboards, and an oversized laundry with vast bench space and room for additional fridges or freezers ensure your daily needs are effortlessly met.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is just as impressive. Entertain year-round in the covered alfresco area or retreat to the powered gazebo — complete with blinds, offering a flexible space for a man cave, hothouse, art studio or all-weather entertaining zone. Kids and pets will love the wide-open lawns, while green thumbs can enjoy the established veggie patches, chook pens and garden beds.

Tradespeople and hobbyists are well catered for with a massive 8x15m four-bay shed featuring remote roller doors, extra height clearance and its own power circuit. The expansive concrete apron offers excellent access and ample parking for trailers, boats, or work vehicles.

Sustainability and self-sufficiency are at the forefront with a 250,000L water tank (in addition to town water), a 5kW solar system, two secure paddocks, and additional storage sheds. The property is well-fenced, well-planned and exceptionally well-maintained.

Location-wise, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. Just 800m from a local P–12 private college and a short drive to the Geelong Ring Road, daily commutes to Melbourne or Geelong CBD are a breeze. Lara train station is under 15 minutes away, while two major shopping hubs — Bell Post Hill and Corio Village — are just 5–10 minutes from your door. And when it’s time to unwind, you’re only 30 minutes from some of Victoria’s most stunning Surf Coast beaches.

Offering unmatched space, thoughtful design and timeless charm, this premium property is more than just a home — it’s a lifestyle of rare quality, flexibility and freedom.
