4 Fingal Court, Cape Schanck, Vic 3939

Sited spectacularly within the exclusive natural setting of the National Estate, on approximately one acre, the award-winning dynamic profile of the house projects through tree tops, elevated above the lush green fairways to capture panoramic uninterrupted ocean vistas, one of the few properties claiming views extending across the Mornington Peninsula to Port Phillip Bay.

With sweeping views of the golf course, the house is the recipient of the Robin Boyd Award, Australia’s most prestigious residential architectural accolade. This landmark coastal residence, designed by renowned Denton Corker Marshall, is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most celebrated private homes. Silent and seemingly in slow motion, golfers activate the perfectly maintained green fairways, colour contrasted against natural grey green coastal vegetation. The architecture exerts an uncompromising but polite presence in its surroundings, respecting both the coastal environment and the thoughtful planning of the prestigious National Golf Course.

Discrete views of the house are revealed to curious golfers, screened by dense natural vegetation. Privacy is maintained by an electrically operated gate to the property via a tree-lined inclined driveway to the house, projecting dramatically into space. The property comprises two wings organised in a linear plan, separated by a weather protected alfresco courtyard. The upper level of the main house comprises living, dining and kitchen, each with spectacular and uninterrupted coastal views. Separated by a hidden sliding door is the master bedroom and en-suite, both with floor to ceiling glass walls and views to the coast.

Changing weather patterns provide a continuous point of interest. Sunsets are a beautiful, ever-changing visual experience, refreshingly variable from one day to the next. Concrete and glass have established a robust weather protected exterior and a steel frame insures stability against winter weather. An extended slot window strategically frames views to the ocean, while maintaining a sense of enclosure, protection from winter weather and the summer sun

The internal atmosphere of the upper level is softened by maple veneer joinery, contributing a feeling of warmth to counter the winter weather and the misty winter landscape. There is an open wood-burning fire place for family and friends to gather around in winter. Each space has a gallery-like sensibility, capturing the awe-inspiring ocean views, particularly appreciated from the kitchen when preparing meals and the dining space while enjoying them.

The open living and dining zones extend toward the streamlined kitchen, fitted out with Smeg appliances and stainless steel surfaces. Accommodation planning is intelligently arranged, with two generous bedrooms and a central bathroom, including a separate laundry, occupying the separated lower level. A maple-veneer bedhead integrates concealed storage, keeping the space visually open and well composed. Beyond the living space on the upper level, separated by a weather protected alfresco courtyard with dense planting and a stainless steel garden screen, is the guest house, studio or home office, adding unexpected flexibility, it has its own bathroom, kitchenette and work and leisure spaces.

Complete with ducted heating and cooling, a double carport, and substantial lock‑up storage with the capacity to secure and retain a golf cart, the home enjoys immediate pedestrian access to one of Australia’s most prestigious golf courses. The clubhouse is within comfortable walking distance, making lunch, dinner, or a casual coffee an effortless daily pleasure. A short drive connects the property to the RACV Resort and Golf Course, expansive wellness and recreational facilities, and the broader Mornington Peninsula lifestyle — including sophisticated coastal restaurants and multiple internationally award‑winning wineries, positioning the home at the centre of one of Victoria’s most celebrated epicurean regions.

This is a home of architectural significance with innate privacy, located in a secure exclusive gated estate with unparalleled panoramic views. There are only 22 houses on the estate and no opportunity to attain further land to build. The property occupies the highest point and most commanding views on the estate. A proposition impossible to replicate.
