~ St Mirins Estate ~ EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
"Saint Mirins Estate, part of a belt of significant old world properties from a golden era including Westerfield, Mulberry Hill, Cruden Farm & Costerton all owned by influential Melbourne families"..
Step back in time and experience the grace and grandeur of a bygone era at one of the Mornington Peninsula’s few remaining early country estates.
Set on 4.5 acres with views to Western Port Bay, potential to subdivide and a host of extravagant and indulgent luxuries, St Mirins is an oasis of privacy and refinement just over 55 kilometers from the city at the gateway to the peninsula’s famous beaches, wineries and holiday spots.
Amid sprawling gardens of oaks and other exotic species, the estate includes a grand main residence with a separate entertaining wing joined by an archway, a large walled courtyard draped in wisteria, a self-contained pool house, a triple garage with a gym and self-contained loft, as well as a mod-grass tennis court.
Once part of large orchard, a Melbourne stockbroker in the 1930s bought the property and set about creating a lavish country house with American and European influences.
From the dark timber paneling in the spectacular billiards room and bar to the superb glass conservatory, the crackling open fireplaces, quiet reading library and gracious ambience, this is a very rare and special property.
Behind remote gates and a brick arch, a winding driveway designed by Edna Walling leads up to the residence where another arch leads into a sun-drenched walled courtyard draped in wisteria.*
A sunroom/gallery overlooking the courtyard makes a fitting entry to the residence with large separate formal lounge and dining rooms featuring open fireplaces forming the centre of the home.
There is also a quiet sitting room beside the enormous master bedroom and en-suite, while the country-style kitchen and meals area takes its cues from Provence with motif tiled bench tops, distressed cabinetry and a commercial stainless steel Ilve range.
A series of French doors open onto the east terrace with views over the hinterland to Western Port Bay, including from the library with its oak bookcases and open fireplace, and the fabulous double-glazed conservatory that seems to levitate above the gardens.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, a bathroom and an en-suite, while across the courtyard the entertaining wing features a massive billiards room beneath richly stained exposed-truss ceilings, a magnificent bar, a dining room with French doors onto the terrace and wisteria-draped pergola overlooking the floor-lit tennis court, a bathroom and a large cool room ideal for a substantial wine collection.
The pool house, surrounded by recently restored slate paving, boasts a living area and kitchenette with a cosy wood heater, a bedroom and en-suite, and the garage complex has its own self-contained unit that was once home to the chauffeur.
Zone Residential 1 with numerous options (STCA) and located only a few minutes from the heart of Frankston and the beach, quality schools and with easy freeway access to the city (approx. 55kms), St Mirins Estate is a rare chance to create the ultimate genteel lifestyle.
