This 1920s orchardist's cottage set on a rare 2899sqm (approx.) has been renovated and extended over time to create a lovely four bedroom, three bathroom plus a study, sitting room and sunbathed breakfast room single-level residence wrapped in incredible professionally landscaped gardens filled with seasonal colour and fragrance and inspired by Sissinghurst Castle Garden in the UK.
Open to the light and garden and sea views, the interiors are tranquil, relaxing and functional as both a permanent home and weekend retreat for the extended family. A sitting room overlooking the front garden lined with Iceberg roses is a lovely place of retreat; while an expansive family living and dining zone filled with natural light from the north and east is a wonderful hub to gather with family and friends. A series of French doors lead to a deep wrap-around deck with a retractable awning that immerses you in the garden scenery and views to Western Port and Phillip Island and provides a fabulous space for entertaining. The central sky-lit kitchen is spacious and practical with timber and granite finishes, excellent storage, stainless steel oven, twin drawer Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and meals area.
An accommodating home, two bedrooms are zoned in their own wing with a large study. One bedroom features an ensuite and walk-in robe, while the second fitted bedroom is served by a spacious bathroom with a bath and shower. The luxuriously large north and east-facing main bedroom features frameless corner windows to draw in the views, French doors to the deck, walk-in robe and large modern ensuite with walk-in shower and twin vanity. The layout of the property also offers the opportunity for B&B activities.
The glorious gardens have been designed in a series of garden rooms including a White Garden, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden, Orchard, Kitchen Garden and Herb Garden alongside a superb circular entertaining terrace. Feature trees including a Silver Birch Grove, spectacular Canadian Maple, avenue of Weeping Cherries, gnarly original apple tree, towering Manchurian Pear tree shading the front garden and riverbed cascading to a frog filled pond in the Japanese Garden.
The extensive water supply includes ample tank water and bore water. Appointed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the property also includes solar electricity, ducted reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning, powder room and return driveway leading to a double garage with workshop and additional off-street parking. Convenient to vibrant Red Hill village, Red Hill-Merricks Equestrian trail, restaurants and cafes, the location could not be better. A short drive will bring you to world class wineries including Eldridge Estate, Polperro Wines, Lindenderry Red Hill and Port Philip Estate, restaurants, Merricks General Store, Balnarring Village, day spas, hot springs, beaches including nearby Point Leo, Red Hill market, Red Hill Consolidated school and Peninsula Link.
