42-50 Church Road,
Bellarine, VIC 3223

Beneath the sweeping skies of the Bellarine Peninsula, where vineyards meet the sea breeze, stands a property of exceptional distinction and versatility. Once a Uniting Church and adjoining town hall, this remarkable 19th-century duo has been meticulously transformed into a luxurious sanctuary that merges history, architecture and contemporary design, now offering boundless potential for commercial adaptation (STCA).

Showcasing soaring timber ceilings, original stained-glass windows and reclaimed Turpentine floors, the former chapel delivers an atmosphere unlike any other, an inspiring canvas for boutique retail, intimate dining, wine tastings or private events. Modern enhancements, including a retractable four-metre projector screen and five-channel surround sound, make the space equally suited to immersive experiences, exhibitions or small-scale hospitality ventures.

The adjoining hall has been extended with a gourmet kitchen, with triple glazed commercial under bench fridges, and open-plan dining area, an entertainer’s dream that readily adapts to a café, restaurant or catering space overlooking the rolling vines of Scotchmans Hill. Multiple serene bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, and a secluded upstairs retreat open opportunities for luxury short-stay accommodation, owner’s residence or guest suites (STCA).

Below, a 17-metre basement creates a moody and memorable setting, perfect for private wine tastings, wellness sessions or an exclusive event cellar. Landscaped gardens and alfresco terraces provide outdoor zones for dining or relaxation, while the four-car garage adds functional support for both residential and commercial use.

With every detail refined and every corner brimming with character, this is more than a property, it’s a platform for your vision. From boutique hospitality to premium retail or short-stay accommodation, the possibilities here are as inspiring as the setting itself.
