A small acre paradise on Melbourne’s own Mornington Peninsula, this luxury four-bedroom home with showpiece tropical gardens, ornamental lake and lagoon-shaped swimming pool presents the most exceptional escape from suburbia for a family with lifestyle smarts.

Seemingly far from the madding crowd, yet just four-minutes’ drive to the shops and services of the increasingly popular Hastings township and its fabulous foreshore and a few minutes more to the sandy beaches of Somers, Balnarring and Merricks, a life of bucolic bliss is ready to be discovered where families are free to raise chickens or grow organic produce, without compromising on a first-class lifestyle, while a rear paddock allows room for a horse or two.

Boasting a selection of fabulous living zones including both a family living room and incredible games room with built-in bar. Opening to a deck, the spacious lounge with bay windows and open fireplace forms the heart of the home adjoining the stunning kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and sleek granite-effect counters.

Open the glass doors and paradise awaits in the sensational covered outdoor-entertaining area with built-in barbecue nestled in tall palms and lush tropical gardens around the solar-heated swimming pool with magical trails meandering through the rainforest to the lakeside firepit and paddocks beyond, with trickling water features, zen-like chillzones and exotic bromeliads along the way.

An awe-inspiring lifestyle package behind electronic gates, the property includes a lavish master with walk-in robe and ensuite, family bathroom with spa, gas ducted heating, split aircon, rotunda, arbor with ornamental grape vines, five-bay machinery shed and double carport.
