While there are concerns that a new property tax will make the Mornington Peninsula a ‘no go zone’, it didn’t stop this heritage clifftop estate selling for an eight-figure sum.
The National Trust-listed Hindson House at 3440 Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento, was commissioned circa-1870 by former Victorian Premier George Kerferd.

Set on a 4021sq m block, the renovated period home is close to a beach featuring a shared jetty and two boathouses.
Buxton Sorrento’s James Redfern, who had the listing alongside RT Edgar Toorak’s Warwick Anderson, declined to comment on the new owners or the sold price but industry sources put the figure at just over $16m.
The sale comes as Melbourne has been ranked among the world’s most likely for millionaire and billionaire homes to turn a profit in 2024.

The house features open fireplaces, leadlight windows, 4.26m-high ceilings, archways, and original Baltic Pine floors.
“It’s very beautiful, very special and a very significant home in terms of Melbourne’s history,” Mr Redfern said.
Although the property was sold in March, the details only became public last week.
Mr Redfern is also running a sales campaign for a five-bedroom house at 3444 Point Nepean Rd, Sorrento, which has a $21m-$23m asking range.
It comes as builders and developers recently raised concerns fear a new levy being considered for the Mornington Peninsula will make it too expensive to do business in the area, but the local council thinks it will “put them on the map”.
