By late afternoon, Swan Bay starts doing what it does best. The water shifts colour, the wetlands deepen and the hills beyond the bay move in and out of focus. From the upper level of this Amy Vorrath architecturally designed residence, those changes become part of daily life.
Set privately to the rear, the design lifts the kitchen, meals and living domain into the view. Bi-fold doors open to a generous entertaining deck, where an integrated servery creates an easy flow between indoors and out. Morning coffee arrives with first light over the bay, while evenings unfold as the landscape softens into dusk.
Inside, the galley kitchen offers quality appliances, extensive storage and a breakfast island that naturally anchors conversation. A gas log fire brings warmth to the upper level, while reverse cycle heating and cooling ensures year round comfort.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. Upstairs, a bedroom with ensuite offers single level ease when desired. Below, two further bedrooms with robes are accompanied by a flexible fourth bedroom or second living room with its own gas log fire and direct courtyard access.
Practical planning adds further appeal, with abundant storage, off-street parking and dedicated
provision for a future lift between levels if accessibility needs evolve.
The setting feels remarkably secluded, yet the village centre, bay and shoreline tracks are all close at hand. Walk for coffee, dinner or a leisurely browse, follow the coast towards Queenscliff Harbour or Point Lonsdale, or spend afternoons exploring the waterways, birdlife and ever changing beauty of Swan Bay.
Architecturally considered and deeply connected to its surroundings, this is a home where the landscape remains the constant companion to daily life.
