This Drysdale house with panoramic rural and bay views has found a buyer.
The middle of a coronavirus pandemic proved the perfect time to land a buyer for a semirural Bellarine Peninsula property that’s been for sale on and off again for several years.
A sold sticker has finally gone up at 1-19 Becks Road, Drysdale more than three years after it was first listed.
Multiple agents and campaigns later, Geelong buyers have bought the four-bedroom house on 3 hectares overlooking Queenscliff and Port Phillip Bay for an undisclosed price.

Entertain by the pool.
Mr Lawrence said COV-19 had triggered strong demand from Melbourne buyers who were zeroing in on the Bellarine Peninsula as a lifestyle choice.
He said he had sold two acreage properties in the area in the past month, including one off-market sale.
He said while that 32ha property sold to country buyers downsizing from the Western District, he predicted a resurgence in Melbourne interest once stage 4 restrictions were lifted.
The property is just minutes from Drysdale’s town centre.
“Melbourne people are desperate to get out,” Mr Lawrence said.
“They understand that they can work from home and be on a few acres for the kids to run around and ride a horse so lockdown isn’t like being in an apartment.
“It’s a reflection on our lifestyle.”
The Becks Road house was designed to with floor-to-ceiling windows to frame rural and water views from every room.
There’s more rural views from the kitchen.
Two separate living zones link to multiple outdoor entertainment areas, while upstairs the main bedroom with a corner spa bath has vistas across the bay to the Mornington Peninsula.
The result comes hot on the heels of a $2.2m sale of another Drysdale lifestyle property at 235 Whitcombes Road.
The renovated four-bedroom house is in a commanding hilltop position with expansive views, stables and shedding.
