THE DEAL
Perched above the clifftops of Mount Martha on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula - one of Australia's most coveted coastal addresses - 'Safe Haven' is an architectural landmark. Set just 70 minutes from Melbourne's CBD and positioned among the Peninsula's elite retreats in Sorrento, Portsea and Red Hill, this award-winning residence redefines what luxury coastal living means at the highest level.
Welcome to a rare coastal property of architectural opulence. Positioned 70 metres above sea level, Safe Haven commands 180-degree views across the bay, from Arthur's Seat to the Melbourne city skyline.
The exterior is crafted from solid concrete panels with a woodgrain finish, encased by expansive double-glazed windows. Classic European front gates open onto a salt-washed concrete driveway, leading to a grand 12-car garage. Off the garage, a dedicated wellness room includes an infrared sauna.
Through the impressive Axolotl-clad pivot front door, a grand entrance unfolds across 4-metre-high ceilings, divided by a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling bronze mesh curtain. The living and dining area features coffered ceilings and a full-height curved fireplace adorned with Italian bespoke tiles in hues of blue. A European hotel-inspired bar and bookmatched curved island bench, crafted from solid Cyprus White marble, anchors the kitchen and casual dining space, complete with a hidden electric charge station. Full-height Navurban Diamond Finish woodgrain cabinetry with fluted glass inlay and bronze knurled handles lines the space, while an expansive black granite bench and bar area invites effortless entertaining. A sliding fluted glass door reveals a fully appointed commercial kitchen beyond.
A European-designed laundry with a large marble bench offers generous storage, inbuilt basket drawers, a fold-out clothes rack, and a commercial-grade Speed Queen washer and dryer. A nearby theatre room features a 135-inch screen and Designo Recliners for the ultimate family movie experience. A generous study overlooks the entrance and living room, framed by luxurious silver mesh curtains for privacy.
Safe Haven's custom staircase anchors the home, accented by a cascading vertical garden set against a natural concrete wall. Upstairs, a gallery-style hallway leads to a library lounge facing the ever-changing landscape of Port Phillip Bay, with direct access to a private front balcony.
Custom skylights illuminate the hallway, where a glass floor connects the levels, framed by ceiling-high fig trees. A rear entertaining area hosts a billiards table, wall-mounted TV and wet bar, opening to expansive Merbau-covered glass decking and a landscaped lawn for all-season entertaining.
The master suite features a walk-through wardrobe and wellness spa ensuite with a solid stone oval bath, his and her basins, a double shower, and a dedicated seating area. An electric skylight crowns the bedroom's private lounge. All bathrooms feature marble benchtops, marble basins, mood lighting and bespoke mirrors. The 4th and 5th bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill ensuite, while the remaining two bedrooms each include their own ensuite, light grey stone baths, wall-mounted televisions and generous walk-in robes. Each bedroom features a box window framed by timber panelling, designed to capture the surrounding views.
SEALS THE DEAL
Unyielding and unique in every aspect, Safe Haven is an architectural marvel built to endure - a home that resonates deeply with the families fortunate enough to call it their own.
