Spectacular in scale and magnificent in amenity, Inverary is a breathtaking Stephen Akehurst-designed luxury residence celebrates panoramic water and Phillip Island views, and is privately set within acres of utterly captivating Paul Bangay gardens, complemented with a separate luxury guest accomodation, studio, and a resort-style, salt, self-cleaning swimming pool spa. Idyllically located in Merricks, this high-end Peninsula coast-meets-country estate, 'Inverary', is approximately an hour from Melbourne and just minutes to a choice of world-class vineyards, restaurants, golf courses, hot springs and beaches.
Positioned on 5.46 hectares* (13.5 acres), a tree-lined drive culminating in a turning circle leads to the sprawling, single-level domain, displaying the signature style elements of Australia's most acclaimed architect. The highly considered design showcases indoor/outdoor connectivity to the garden and views via an abundance of double glazing and a series of alfresco courtyards, covered verandahs and decked terraces. Inside, the majestically proportioned living and entertaining spaces are resplendent with a timeless, uncompromised fit-out incorporating polished hardwood flooring, bespoke joinery, and open fireplaces in hand-laid stone surrounds. The chateau-worthy central kitchen features a curated French Lacanche range, expanses of natural stone, exquisite cabinetry, a butler's pantry, and wonderful water views. The customised layout offers four zoned bedroom suites, including two masters with walk-in robes and luxurious fully-tiled ensuites. A choice of formal and informal living, dining and entertaining spaces, four impeccably appointed bathrooms, and two studies ensure outstanding adaptability and liveability. There are also another two bedrooms and a shared bathroom in the luxurious guest house, incorporating the triple open garage. Less than ten years old, this unique property also has hydronic heating and a five-star laundry.
With a backdrop of Western Port waters and Phillip Island, the bluestone-surrounded mosaic tiled heated swimming pool and spa is positioned to enjoy mesmerising panoramas across the entire estate. Impeccably curated by world-renowned landscape designer, Paul Bangay, the expansive gardens were laid out and planted before the home was built and have matured into a botanical wonderland. Meandering paths lead past ornamental trees, lush lawns, a private lake with jetty, and a picturesque greenhouse, while hidden machinery sheds keep the property's operations discreetly tucked away.
