‘Taragowan'

Nestled at the end of a country lane drive, in the heart of one of Mount Martha's most coveted locales, lies a history-rich haven that epitomises family excellence on a grand scale. An iconic estate, ‘Taragowan’, spans approximately 1,183 sqm and seamlessly merges the verdant splendour of its impressive gardens with the timeless allure of its beach house heritage. <br/><br/>Meticulously preserved and tastefully enhanced, the exquisite c1927 charm now settles amongst a contemporary redesign where a modern coastal addition meets the desires of discerning families. At its heart, a ground floor entertaining domain encourages an indoor-outdoor fusion across sun-drenched living and dining proportions and an alfresco deck where the azure blue waters of the self-cleaning heated pool and spa (gas and heat pump) are mirrored upstairs with mesmerising Port Phillip Bay aspects. A secondary lounge preserves period detail with portico access and original open fireplace, while a central all-Miele kitchen celebrates modern functionality with a walk-in pantry, double ovens and induction cooktop.<br/><br/>The four bedroom 3-bathroom accommodation spills across a multi-level layout, catering for guests with a private ground-floor bedroom comprising walk-in robe and ensuite, with handmade Spanish feature tiling. A secondary accommodation wing keeps kids together with two robed bedrooms (one with additional attic storage room) both enjoying bay views, alongside a luxurious main bathroom with stone bath. The private master suite sits within its own wing to afford parents the utmost privacy across a rear balcony, fully-fitted walk-in robe and lavish light flooded ensuite. <br/><br/>With the opulence of a private outdoor bath and shower, an in-ground trampoline and manicured surroundings, the outdoor environment matches the luxury found within. A feature-heavy list of inclusions celebrates the effortless coastal lifestyle, including zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, under floor heating in all bathrooms, premium fixtures throughout, solid timber floors and high-grade carpet, 10 kw solar power, underground 3 phase power, a double garage with workshop and rear roller access, off-street parking for boats/caravans, and an automated front gate. Meeting with Mount Martha Village and Hawker Beach via a short stroll, this premium beachside address keeps both Mornington and Mount Martha’s best-kept amenities within easy reach.
