~ Landmark Waterfront Estate on Mt Eliza’s Golden Mile ~
Commanding approximately 73 metres of absolute waterfront, this extraordinary Golden Mile estate represents one of Mount Eliza’s most significant private waterfront holdings, an exceptional breadth of coastline and land rarely found in a single estate, and quite possibly unmatched on the Mornington Peninsula.
The estate enjoys an exceptionally private relationship with the bay, with no road, footpath or public thoroughfare between the property and the shoreline. The grounds extend directly to the water, an increasingly rare characteristic along Mount Eliza’s coastline and one that gives the estate an uncommon sense of privacy and scale.
Overlooking the pool and sweeping lawns to the broad expanse of the bay, the elegant white weatherboard home has been extended and beautifully refined just over a decade ago, featuring magnificent expanses of glazing and doors opening to an expansive wraparound deck draw the ever-changing panorama into almost every principal room.
The home’s generous proportions unfold across a series of beautifully composed living spaces, each designed for both intimate family life and exceptional entertaining.
A magnificent principal living room, anchored by a substantial Coldstream stone fireplace and generous enough to accommodate a grand piano, flows seamlessly to an adjoining dining room where a glass wall allows the breathtaking outlook to become part of every gathering.
A second lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and bespoke cabinetry, provides a warm and inviting retreat throughout the seasons.
The beautifully appointed granite kitchen is every bit as functional as it is elegant, featuring an impressive central island, two Neff ovens, induction cooktop, warming drawer, Miele dishwasher and exceptional storage. A generous butler-style laundry connects directly to an established kitchen garden where an original lemon tree continues to flourish, while an adjoining mudroom provides practical internal access from the kitchen to the oversized remote garage.
Accommodation is equally impressive. French doors open the luxurious main suite onto the north-facing deck overlooking the pool and bay beyond, while an expansive dressing room and beautifully appointed ensuite with freestanding bath, silver travertine twin vanity and separate shower complete a sanctuary of understated indulgence.
Three further bedrooms provide exceptional family accommodation, including an oversized second bedroom with direct deck access, one with an ensuite, as well as elegant central bathroom.
Beyond the residence, a separate two-bedroom cottage enhances the property’s versatility, complete with its own kitchen, dining area, fireplace, reverse-cycle air conditioning and private courtyard.
Perfectly positioned less than an hour from Melbourne yet immersed in complete tranquillity, this extraordinary coastal estate enjoys immediate access to the very best of the Mornington Peninsula, from championship golf courses, acclaimed wineries and celebrated restaurants to marinas and some of Victoria’s most spectacular beaches.
