Last Listing description (November 2022)

Overlooking Western Port Bay and abutting one of the largest nature reserves along Bass Coast, "Dunbabbin" is a 19.3ha*, private sanctuary within close proximity to Melbourne.

With a tastefully renovated 4 bedroom home and separate open plan studio apartment currently configured to sleep 6, your accommodation options are endless.

The current vendor markets and rents the studio apartment as a short-term holiday stay. For couples, families and groups seeking a convenient escape from Melbourne, the property and neighbouring nature reserve provides the ideal setting for bush-walks, horse and mountain bike riding. For those that enjoy water sports including fishing, "Dunbabbin" is the perfect base, located 8.4km* from Grantville boat ramp and a short distance to Corinella at Western Port Bay.

The studio apartment, named "Corinella Beach House", features a large under-cover outdoor alfresco with bar and BBQ area. The alfresco's deck has a 180 degree westerly aspect, and given the property's elevated position, provides for sensational evening sunset views across Western Port Bay to the Mornington Peninsula.
Internally, the self-contained open plan studio apartment includes a new kitchen and appliances, spacious living area and very well appointed separate bathroom, toilet and laundry. The standout feature of the studio apartment is a full-size traditional wood fire pizza oven which doubles as an attractive form of heat during cooler months. A split system air conditioner provides heating and cooling all year round.

Orientated to the west, the main 4 bedroom home with return verandah and in-ground pool, overlooks the property and Western Port Bay.

The home has been delightfully renovated throughout. The central living area includes a kitchen with new cabinetry, stone benchtops and new appliances and cosy wood fire heating. A large separate family room with wood fire and sliding doors to the pool deck, provides extra room for family gatherings. Bedrooms are spacious, with the master bedroom updated with a large, beautifully tiled ensuite and walk-in robe and separate access to the pool deck. A separate bathroom, toilet and laundry completes the home.

A substantial 3-span workshop with concrete floor and constructed of steel and Colourbond is located at the rear of the property. The secure workshop has power, has a bank of solar panels on the roof supplying energy to a professionally installed solar system, and dual water tanks for water supply.

Additional water supply is via tanks installed to the main home and the studio apartment. The property also features 2 dams for stock and domestic purposes.

Currently running a small herd of sheep, the property is well fenced for livestock and provides adequate space and shelter for horses and ponies. With just over 12* hectares of native vegetation, there's plenty of places to explore across "Dunbabbin".

THE GURDIES NATURE CONSERVATION RESERVE

The property abuts The Gurdies Nature Conservation Reserve, a 260* hectare nature reserve with multiple walking tracks. The Reserve represents some of the largest remaining areas of native vegetation on the eastern shore of Westernport. It is home to a variety of animals, birdlife and even native orchids. A 5.8km* circuit constructed of sand and gravel, it's an easy walk, horse-back or mountain bike ride through The Gurdies Nature Conservation Reserve. Dogs are also permitted on a lead and picnic tables and BBQ areas are located within the Reserve.
