About this space

Tucked within the rolling countryside of the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Cottonwood Farm is a sprawling 50-acre property offering a unique blend of rustic charm and French provincial elegance—all just moments from the cliffs, piers, and beaches of Flinders.

This location is as expansive as it is character-filled. The main residence is a storybook mix of old and new, with materials carefully sourced and repurposed to create texture-rich backdrops for any shoot. Expect exposed bridge beams, recycled bricks, antique doors, and timber accents that speak to its layered history. The interiors feature oversized living zones, including a breathtaking 20-metre-long lounge with French doors that open out to sweeping valley views—a natural light dream for photographers and filmmakers alike.

Throughout the home, large windows let soft, filtered light move effortlessly through the spaces, illuminating paneled feature walls and rich, red brick textures. The styling brings a collected-over-time warmth, with French provincial furniture curated from trips to France, balanced with contemporary pieces for a shoot-ready blend of old-world character and modern usability.

For those seeking kitchen-focused content, Cottonwood Farm delivers in spades with not one, but three distinct kitchen spaces suitable for filming and styling. Two laundries, multiple bedrooms, and dedicated studies further expand the shoot possibilities, making it easy to find fresh angles throughout the day.

Just a short drive from Flinders beaches and cliffs, the outdoor offerings are just as inspiring. Formal gardens, vegetable patches, bee hives, and country paddocks dotted with horses and cows offer a quintessential farm-to-coast backdrop. And then there’s the Coach House—a freestanding 20m x 9.5m high structure that’s visually striking and versatile, ideal for everything from fashion editorials to large-scale production setups.

Whether you’re capturing campaign content, filming, or hosting a styled workshop, Cottonwood Farm offers scale, texture, light, and authentic rural character—all just over an hour from Melbourne and with the full beauty of the Mornington Peninsula at your doorstep.
