Finding Home Again — Why Samuel Property Chose Dromana

Behind every great project is a developer with vision. For Samuel Property, Hali represents not just another residential address, but the culmination of 15+ years of experience delivering high-end, people-focused communities across Melbourne.

Illan Samuel, Managing Director, says: “Our vision is to create a ‘modern classic’ that blends seamlessly with the local environment — a homage to the enduring, laid-back spirit of Dromana. With Hali, you’re not just buying a home; you’re investing in a lifestyle.”

That lifestyle is distinctly Dromana. Positioned between Mount Martha and Rosebud, the town is a hub for easy coastal living — friendly cafés, boutique shops, and a foreshore just steps away. Add in the Peninsula’s world-class wineries and golf courses, and it’s easy to see why Samuel Property chose this site.

Hali’s USPs reflect Samuel’s people-centric philosophy. The community is anchored by the Seaside Commons, with native landscaping by Tract creating shaded BBQ areas, play spaces, and a sanctuary of green. A dedicated community garden and pocket parks extend the sense of belonging, while private courtyards provide personal retreats.

Inside, the design by Cera Stribley reimagines the 1960s holiday home for modern living. Open terraces, exposed structural details, and natural colour palettes make each home feel timeless yet contemporary. And with 7-star sustainability, all-electric homes, and rainwater harvesting, Hali is as future-ready as it is beautiful.

For Samuel Property, Hali is more than a project — it’s a statement of their commitment to delivering timeless, sustainable communities that enhance the neighbourhoods they’re part of. For buyers, it’s the chance to downsize without compromise, and to find home again in a place where every day feels like a weekend.
