Don t dream it .be it
INSPECTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
Set atop sweet cascading hills that gaze across the achingly beautiful allure of the rolling seas of Shoreham and opposite Point Leo beach. This is the dreamy 20 acre summit at 3800 Frankston-Flinders Road. An opportunity spilling over with astonishing temptations in a pure playground for lovers of Australia s highly evocative nature. It s the pinnacle of the Mornington Peninsula. This 8 hectare heaven-on-earth location can be all yours.
Imagine resting your eyes and soul upon it but from where? From your artist s studio, your architect s workroom, your mechanic s hall or your imagination s indescribable home-office hideaway or a private castaway s retreat? Or will it be your day to day House of Escape? Will you laze in a sparkling pool as you sip mineral water, or count petals on your rose garden, or pitch your fork into a hay bale? Such dreams remain unbuilt by anyone but you.
History held tightly for 120 years it s no wonder the family owners have cherished nature s perfect collection of beauty, land and sea, in one treasured parcel, since 1895. With over 50 listed historical buildings in the surrounding region, will it be you who creates one that would someday join this treasured list?
With anything this good, there s sure to be a catch. Yes, of course - if it looks perfect and sounds perfect, then probably -
(in this case), that s just what it is. But this property comes with a catch and an equally strong disclaimer if you re going to live here and you ever need to exit the property or the peninsula, even for a short time, be warned, you ll need truckloads of self-discipline because it s a very hard place to leave. Here are just some of the reasons why
ever-perfect 24 hour views to Western Port with Phillip Island
countrified sea vistas to die for
imagine the horses or livestock grazing from your own hobby farm
create stables or shelters, perhaps a hayshed or two
far enough away from the City yet close enough to commute
Magical Mornington Peninsula s Powerful Pull. Step outside your gate, (if you can bear the parting,) to go forth and explore. This is the home of the lazy complexities of the Ashcombe Maze, world renowned historic Cape Schanck lighthouse, historic Sorrento, majestic Arthur s Seat. This area, traditional home of the Boonwurrung people, has a rich past and strong sanguine future, and falls under the Peninsula's catchment of beauty.
In the past, Sir Arthur Streeton, John Percival, Clifton Pugh and many others dared to drink in the delights of this coastal hideaway and place it on canvas. Today, some prefer the drink of a white or red drop from the charming boutique vineyards that sneak up on unsuspecting curves of the roads and hidden trails in the region. The colourful art and caf culture feeds the soul of the surfer and art-lover alike. Although if you re more enticed by the intoxicating feeling of blood rushing through your veins, take the 100km Mornington Peninsula walk in a triangle of the region. Perhaps you d like that distance in shorter bursts, or to weave it with a trail-ride. Go ahead. Then wind it down at the world-renowned Peninsula Hot Springs as your body drops into the mineral pools of lusciously soothing waters fed from deep below the earth. It s all here :
Famed Golf Courses
Dolphin swims, penguin watching
Fishing, Kayaking
Historic homestead visits
Meditation retreats
Fine Restaurants, Wineries
