About this Property
Located at the highest point on the island, this cosy, self-sufficient home boasts sweeping views across the ocean to the Mornington Peninsula to the west and Mt Wellington immediately to the north. Surrounded by 52 acres of superb, low-maintenance bushland, there are seasonal orchids and wildflowers surrounding the house and a huge variety of native wildlife.
Explore the many secret paths throughout the property, to the seasonal creek and adjacent National Park and Mount Wellington. Spotlight potoroos and see the stars far away from the city lights; fall asleep to the sounds of owls and wake up to koalas and a chorus of native bush birds in this peaceful paradise. Wander the nearby orchard of 40 mixed heirloom fruit trees and kitchen garden adjacent to the house to pick your fresh produce and cook it on the slow combustion wood stove (LPG stove also present).
This roomy, open plan house has a wide central living room and kitchen with breakfast bar, with covered decks on three sides looking to the coast, garden and bush. The attic master bedroom upstairs is accessed by hand crafted timber stairs, the second bedroom downstairs opens onto a private deck. New wool carpets are installed throughout and the bathroom has a luxurious vintage clawfoot bathtub.
There are no bills or council rates to pay, with the house fully set up off-grid with solar and wind generation and batteries, as well as generator back up. Two separate steel garages for machine storage and firewood preparation provide considerable workspace and storage. There is ample rainwater collection adjacent to the house and a large dam nestled in the trees for water supply or just swimming.
Work remotely from the vintage caravan down the garden path, equipped with satellite NBN or use it as additional guest accommodation, already set up with queen size bed and kitchenette. A second dwelling some distance from the main house with its own road access could be utilised as an Air B&B or guest accommodation with some renovation.
This self-sufficient bushland paradise is all set up ready to move in but has lots of potential for a keen renovator or gardener to make it their own.
Note: Pics of water view are from first floor.
