A romantic country estate with an exclusive seaside position only a short stroll from Balnarring Beach, this superb modern four-bedroom home full of character and luxury offers a unique peninsula lifestyle.

Set on 2.9 acres in a small gated community of three ultra-exclusive properties, enjoy a privileged existence with sweeping lawns bordered by box hedge, a sparkling inground pool to swim laps in the morning and a flood-lit mod-grass tennis court for family fun and fitness.

The stunning home makes spectacular use of natural timber and stone with a gorgeous granite wall and open fireplace in the lounge featuring concertina doors opening to a deck overlooking the pool and court and rural views beyond.

A kitchen, meals and family area focuses on another rear deck while a third living area upstairs is an ideal quiet study or reading area next to the master bedroom with doors onto a balcony to survey the majestic property.

A large plate-glass window in the main bathroom lets you soak in the claw-foot bath and enjoy views out to a trickling water feature, an adjoining guest room has French doors onto a deck and two large children’s bedrooms are also located downstairs.

Little more than an hour from the city, other features include solid timber internal doors, ducted heating, Smeg stainless steel kitchen appliance, granite bench-tops, a large barn perfect for a boat, caravan and workshop and a remote double garage.
