The very best of country peninsula lifestyles awaits with ‘Merinda’ – an extraordinary property on 1.53 acres (approx.) where a breathtaking outdoor environment is complimented by a 4-bedroom country residence. A visionary project celebrating the virtues of the site creating spectacular new lifestyle additions. From entry through automatic security gates and down the sweeping return driveway surrounded by stone walls, a stately aggregate-paved portico hints at what is to come. The residence itself is a fabulous example of effortless country style and zoned family living. At the private northern end of the home is a master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite (with freestanding bathtub) and a generously proportioned home office – all opening onto adjoining decking. These are joined by beautiful family, formal dining, meals and living spaces, along with a central kitchen featuring shaker cabinetry and new NEFF appliances, and a further three bedrooms and bathroom. A neutral palette complimented by a stunning outlook over countryside to Western Port Bay in the distance. Stepping down from a huge timber deck for alfresco dining, those inspired landscapes continue with a stunning 11m x 4m glass-fenced, tiled and solar heated swimming pool, then with tiered decking leading to a sunken fire pit, manicured lawns and striking designer gardens, where automatic lighting also creates a spectacular evening ambience. Further features: high grade bore water system, garage, studio/ art room, tool shed, provision for a contained chicken house and run, established fruit trees and veggie patches, automatic garden irrigation, two Husqvarna auto-mowers, Ozone filtration tank water, under-house storage, comprehensive CCTV security/alarm system, Starlink satellite internet, split systems throughout, gas ducted heating, and wood heater.
