Set within the coastal reaches of the Mornington Peninsula, 'Tallagandra' commands the horizon with a seamless fusion of art, architecture and landscape. Encompassing some 85-acres of magnificent Australian countryside, its rolling hills and open pastures redefine semi-rural living and transform what was once a working farm into a contemporary sanctuary of design and culture.
A masterstroke of collaboration, the property brings together architectural brilliance by SJB and landscape artistry by Tract Consulting, which frames a thoughtfully curated sculpture collection comprising of more than 30 monumental works by celebrated Australian and international artists that are scattered across the grounds mesmerising by day and dramatically illuminated by night.
From fence to fence, 'Tallagandra' traverses the worlds of agriculture, architecture, arts and pure family escapism. Beyond its art and architecture, the property remains alive, a thriving farm with cattle, a 900-tree olive grove, chicken coop, 110,000 litres of filtered water storage, three damns, a spring-fed stream, worm fam system, and more than 600 native trees planted to attract and nurture abundant birdlife.
The mid-century residence itself is breathtaking, redesigned for those who entertain as they live: expansively, beautifully and without compromise. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture sculptural vistas at every turn, from the lounge and sunken family room to the exceptionally well equipped and spacious kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, cool room, and a full suite of Miele appliances.
The master suite is a private retreat; a sanctuary of space with a bath and shower overlooking a tranquil fishpond and sculpture garden, dual walk-in robes, and an impressive dressing area. A separate wing offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Additional luxuries include a huge games room with a TV area and a full-sized billiard table, large four car garage and hangar style work shed.
Alfresco living flows seamlessly to wide decks, featuring a pizza oven and BBQ area, swimming pool and flood lit tennis court, all combining to provide resort style living.
Surrounded by the Peninsula's renowned wineries, thermal springs, golf courses and acclaimed dining, 'Tallagandra' is only 5 minutes from Flinders and 90 minutes from Melbourne's CBD a rare synergy of art, architecture and landscape, unlike anything else on the Peninsula.
