A cherished holiday home and popular B & B just seconds from the sand in the sleepy seaside hamlet of Balnarring Beach, Blue Oars cottage represents a golden opportunity to invest in this idyllic bayside retreat or create your family’s own exclusive getaway.

Set on 832sqm (approx) and fronting the Merricks Creek reserve, the recently renovated three-bedroom home is just a short walk along a grassy and private rear laneway to grab a coffee and the paper from the local general store, or a leisurely stroll along one of Western Port Bay’s most pristine beaches to Somers.

A modest facade belies a warm and beachy chic interior which features a cosy lounge with timber floors and a glowing gas log fire, perfect for windswept winter nights.

The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a rangehood and Bosch dishwasher while the adjacent meals and sitting room opens out to a sheltered alfresco deck for seamless indoor/outdoor summer entertaining.

Three good-sized bedrooms have ceiling fans and share a pristine bathroom with a glass brick window and luxury spa featuring automatic fill and temperature controls.

Extra features include reverse cycle air-conditioning, a rustic outdoor shower, handy garden shed and single carport.
