About Main Ridge
Main Ridge is a picturesque rural locality on the Mornington Peninsula, approximately 65 kilometres south of Melbourne's CBD within the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. With a population of 453 residents spread across nearly 29 square kilometres, the locality sits on the elevated ridge of the peninsula between Red Hill and Rosebud, surrounded by the renowned wine country and market gardens for which the region is celebrated. The area's rural character, elevated terrain, and stunning views across the peninsula have made it increasingly sought-after among those seeking a tree-change lifestyle within reach of Melbourne.
Main Ridge lies at the heart of the Mornington Peninsula's acclaimed wine and food region, bordered by boutique wineries, orchards, and farm gates offering everything from artisan cheese to fresh produce. The locality is close to the Red Hill General Store and community facilities at Red Hill, and within easy reach of the beaches and resort towns of Rosebud, Sorrento, and Portsea. While there is no public transport through the area, the Peninsula is well connected by road, and the lifestyle appeal of rolling hills, walking tracks at Arthurs Seat State Park, and world-class dining makes Main Ridge one of Victoria's most desirable rural addresses.
