A period home like no other, Mallacoota Lodge is located a little over an hour from Melbourne, equidistant to the city, the beach and the mountains. Overlooking lush parklands and its own magical terraced garden, this exquisite residence boasts a flexible layout, including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a breathtaking open plan living space replete with ornate fireplace and chandelier, separate dining room and an impressive kitchen.
Edwardian and Victorian eras are represented in the home's features, with fire mantles, stained-glass windows, ornate timberwork and spectacular ceilings throughout. Built in the 1930's by local Gippsland Grain merchant J.J. Murray, Mallacoota Lodge is uniquely comprised of features reclaimed from the mansions of Toorak, Melbourne which were disassembled in that era. Rooms feature large leadlight windows to bring in abundant sunlight and open onto stunning garden views.
Unlike many authentic period homes, Mallacoota Lodge is also genuinely warm, cosy and environmentally sound, even in spite of its age, grandeur and the size of its rooms. The recent installation of 32 solar panels, double glazed windows and additional insulation ensure the home is comfortable year round.
The gardens are as impressive as the house, and feature an array of 'secret' lawns, terraces, flowering beds and a fountain. European trees and shrubs, meandering paved paths and stairways stretch across the enviable 1406m2 double allotment. The large covered alfresco area is secluded and peaceful in the rear yard, while generous car accommodation ensures ample storage and secure garaging for 3 cars.
Utilising the rear lane, Mallacoota Lodge is located only 500m from Warragul's bustling CBD, the train station, local schools and spectacular parkland.
