In the stratosphere of Australian real estate, the Mornington Peninsula clifftop occupies rare air. A block of land in upmarket Mornington has been listed with only a tennis court and price hopes of $7.5 million to $8.
2 million – several times the suburb’s median house price. Rarely do blocks in this position come onto the market, and when they do, even locals clamour for the chance to shift digs a few doors up to one of Australia’s most sought-after addresses. Mornington’s median house price is $1.
15 million – a lift of more than 46 per cent over five years, and 4.5 per cent over the 12 months to June, Domain’s latest House Price Report shows. The record on the Mornington Peninsula is held by a clifftop property in Sorrento, which fetched $30 million in 2022 , setting a new benchmark for the prestige market in this district.

The listing, on the books of McEwing Partners, marks the first time the sweeping parcel of land has been on the public market, the Domain campaign reveals.
An auction is scheduled for midday on September 8, with a price guide of $7.5 million to $8.2 million.
Public records show the land is part of the deceased estate of Cecile Mangan, who was married .
