An exceptional sense of seclusion unfolds along a 500-metre tree lined driveway, winding through established gums and past picturesque vineyards to reveal this remarkable nine acre (approx.) lifestyle estate.
Originally built c.1885 by its owner builder and comprehensively reimagined by Hue & Space Interior Design, the historic homestead blends the romance of its pioneering heritage with a sophisticated interpretation of modern farmhouse living. That heritage is tangible: the verandah weatherboards were cut from timber felled on the property, saw marks still visible, and the two chimneys laid in bricks fired from clay dug on site. Reinstated Victorian details sit beside a contemporary extension, creating a private sanctuary where refined interiors and authentic country living exist in perfect balance.
At the heart of the home, expansive wall to wall glazing draws the landscape indoors, bathing the open plan living and entertaining spaces in natural light. Solid timber floors, natural stone and earthy tones create a warm, elegant atmosphere centred on a fireside lounge, generous dining area and outstanding chef's kitchen with premium appliances, imported designer lighting and a fully appointed butler's pantry.
The original footprint has been thoughtfully reconfigured to accommodate five of the six bedrooms as a generous family wing with a strong connection to its heritage, while the luxurious master suite sits privately within the contemporary extension. Three bathrooms serve the home.
Beyond the interiors, the estate delivers an extraordinary array of lifestyle amenities, all established and ready to enjoy. A heated swimming pool and spa, En Tout Cas tennis court, an acre of natural bushland and a triple garage with workshop provide an enviable setting for recreation, relaxation and working from home, while a fully netted orchard, vegetable gardens, 70,000 litres of water storage and a secure paddock ready for livestock mean the country life arrives ready-made rather than as a project.
Behind the home's timeless beauty lies a commitment to modern performance: ActronAir ducted climate control, an extensive solar power system, an eco-conscious worm farm septic system and fully rewired electrics ensure contemporary comfort and efficiency.
Offering a rare combination of history, luxury, lifestyle and land, this is an authentic semi-rural escape without sacrificing convenience. Perfectly positioned between country, village and coast, it is moments from Balnarring Village, minutes from the beaches of Somers and Balnarring, and around an hour from Melbourne's CBD. A truly distinctive Mornington Peninsula sanctuary, where grand heritage, contemporary luxury and country living come together.
