Overview

Akehurst's Country Masterpiece

Designed by acclaimed architect Stephen Akehurst as his own private residence, 'Lower Steading' stands as a landmark of classically inspired country design. Its significance is reinforced by the neighbouring enclave of Akehurst-designed homes that followed, now recognised as Akehurst's Corner. Set on approximately four acres with sweeping views toward Western Port Bay, the residence is defined by its slate-gabled roofline, tall French doors and sweeping circular driveway. Inside, generous proportions, gracious ceiling heights and a masterful use of natural light establish a home of enduring architectural quality. Living zones are thoughtfully arranged to balance gathering and retreat, from the expansive country kitchen, featuring a Paul Bocuse stove, to the intimacy of a private library. Five beautifully appointed bedrooms are supported by three well-equipped bathrooms to ensure comfort and flexibility for family living and entertaining alike. Outside, established gardens, rolling lawns and leafy arbours are set above wide paved terraces and stone walls framed by flowering borders, creating a picturesque estate setting. The residence is complemented by a swimming pool and tennis court, wrapped by grassy pastures. A three-car garage or workshop enhances practicality, while the quiet no-through road position in the heart of Flinders ensures privacy and timeless appeal within one of Mornington Peninsula's most tightly held coastal sanctuaries.
