1409 Birregurra Deans Marsh Road, Deans Marsh, VIC 3235

Set on an acre of land in the heart of Deans Marsh, this remarkable property is more than a home… it’s a sanctuary offering space to breathe, time to slow, and a setting that inspires.

Just moments from neighbouring artisan villages, boutique wineries, and the Great Ocean Road…this is an invitation to live beautifully within a vibrant and welcoming hinterland community.

Lawrence Cottage (c.1890) is a property of distinction. Steeped in history as the birthplace of celebrated soprano Marjorie Lawrence, it seamlessly blends heritage with a contemporary countryside lifestyle.

The original cottage and its private garden exude timeless charm, while a striking architectural studio — industrial yet refined — frame sweeping views across rolling hills and open skies. Together, they create a place of quiet elegance, where living spaces and landscape exist in perfect harmony.

Lawrence Cottage and the studio are more than just a residence—they are a chapter of Deans Marsh history, ready for their next custodian to live, create, and celebrate the art of country life.

We look forward to showing you through soon…
