Spectacularly spread across 3,000* square metres and offering elevated Bay and City skyline views from multiple aspects, this magnificent Mount Martha family estate epitomises the very essence of refined living and impressive internal and external entertaining incorporating a meticulously maintained 45-bedroom grand two storey neo-Georgian mansion with large balconies, undercover terraces and alfresco dining (480 sqm approx.), a north-south flood lit tennis court, and resort-style swimming pool, all set within established Mediterranean inspired botanical gardens.
Privately set behind high walls and secure automated gates, a long driveway sweeps past the glorious formal hedge and rose gardens featuring classical urns, fountains, and statuary. Upon entry, be impressed by the sheer size and scale of the interiors with towering ceilings, neoclassical columns, and a grand bifurcated staircase adding grandeur and elegance to the light-filled dimensions. Abundantly glazed with outlooks and access to wraparound garden terraces, the downstairs spaces incorporate formal and informal living and dining, a home office (or fifth bedroom), a library, and anteroom. Designed for grand-scale entertaining, the central kitchen gleams with lustrous black granite, and is equipped with high-end appliances including a trio of multi-function ovens, a 900mm induction cooktop, and a double-drawer dishwasher. Upstairs, the grandeur continues and is further enhanced by the breathtaking Bay vistas and sunset viewing wrap around balcony with viewing deck adjoining the palatial master suite with marble spa ensuite and boutique-sized walk-in robe/dressing room. There is also another large living room, three fitted double-sized bedrooms and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom.
Edged in tropical landscaping with a blue water backdrop, the granite-tiled undercover alfresco entertaining terrace connects the self-cleaning solar heated inground swimming pool, and overlooks the mod-grass, floodlit tennis court, and there is also a large, enclosed lawn area, perfect for petanque or backyard cricket.
Additional features include a luxe powder room, Daikin reverse cycle heating/cooling, electric panel heating, monitored CCTV security system, security lighting, ducted vacuum, 32,000 litre rainwater tanks for front and rear gardens, an over-sized double garage with auto door and internal access, a separate enclosed double carport, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
From this prized, elevated Mount Martha neighbourhood, within the exclusive Balcombe Estate, it is an easy walk down to South Beach and Mount Martha Village with its supermarket, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and full range of health and wellness services. The Peninsula's leading private schools, including Balcombe Grammar, Peninsula Grammar and Toorak College are just a short drive away, or there is a bus stop out the front.
