San Mateo

‘San Mateo’ is an idyllic farmhouse set on over 11 acres of magnificent grounds, located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula.

Perched on the hillside of Dromana, this sprawling property captures a breathtaking water vista during the day and glistening light show at night. A charming, family estate – with long-term residents including a mob of kangaroos – with joeys on board, a duck-filled dam and a herd of friendly cows who make their way across the paddocks.
