ISLAND RANCH - A Landmark 100 Acre Estate of Global Calibre

Acreage Semi-rural - RHYLL VIC

In the company of the world’s most prestigious rural estates, Island Ranch rises across 100 elevated acres with uninterrupted vistas stretching across the glassy expanse of Westernport Bay to the Bass Hills, French Island and beyond, a horizon of water, sky and land that shifts with every hour. Marrying architectural magnificence with agricultural independence, it offers a calibre of design and scale rarely achieved.

Spanning more than 110 squares, the peerless luxury of the main residence commands a spectacular hilltop position, with a kilometre-long driveway forming a procession-like arrival through secured gates. Completed in 2024, it was designed with a single ambition: to deliver an uncompromising living environment that would rival any estate in Australia. The result is a home of architectural weight and material richness, from its Colorado stone profile to interiors lined with spotted gum ceilings, French-patterned travertine, and full-height glazing that captures the horizon from every angle.
A sunken lounge and marble island kitchen headline the central living and dining zones, set beneath soaring ceilings and framed by an 80m verandah to the north. To the east, the primary suite occupies an independent wing with an indulgent 14m robe, freestanding bath with water views, double ensuite and skylit dressing zone. Every secondary bedroom features a walk-in robe and private ensuite, while underfloor hydronic heating, an integrated bar and butler’s pantry, climate automation, and a four-car garage with adjoining mudroom affirm the home’s unmatched design.

Extending beyond the residence, a world-class equestrian complex rivals professional training facilities. Six rubber-lined stables, a lounge and gym, wash bay, tack room and groom’s quarters are complemented by an 80x40m floodlit arena and 14 paddocks, all with Duncan Equine fencing. Agistment facilities are fully separated, and every structure across the property benefits from an off-grid energy system, including a 50kw solar system that powers the expansive 50x15m machinery shed, which features 11 roller doors, a fitted workshop, a tea room, an office, and off-grid battery storage.
Two separate dwellings, an original farmhouse and one-bedroom cottage, each operate as thriving Airbnbs, generating over $120,000p/a. Further income is secured via a herd of premium Black Angus cattle, supported by rotational pasture, electric fencing, connected water and working yards.

Private, powerful, and undeniably rare, Island Ranch is an all-encompassing lifestyle holding, minutes from surf beaches, Cowes village, award-winning wineries and the soon-to-open hot springs precinct. With secure rear access to Newhaven College, income streams already in place, and the infrastructure to support recreational and commercial use, it offers a level of self-sufficiency, breathtaking scenery and prestige seldom seen in Australian real estate.
