A spectacular five-bedroom architect-designed home for an equally superb rural setting, Marasea ranks among the peninsula’s finest lifestyle properties with views across the estate to Western Port and Phillip Island and 4.2 acres (approx.) of peninsula countryside to soak up and enjoy.
Meticulously planned and beautifully constructed around provincial inspired north and south courtyard gardens, the totally private residence incorporates sprawling spaces to relax and entertain, superior master and guest suites, stable complex with hot/cold wash and direct access to the tranquil Merricks riding trail.
From its soaring 4.7m grand entry to the granite-topped kitchen with butler’s scullery, stone set Norwegian Jotul solid fuel heater, indulgent five star bathrooms and generous car accommodation, Marasea delivers the quintessential escape to the country. An intimate lounge opening to the sunlit north courtyard connects to the first of the home’s pigeon pair master suites, providing a tranquil parents’ retreat or alternate guest lounge/reading room, while the combination of 3.8m ceilings, French and bi-fold doors and a frameless corner window to take in the view delivers a superb sense of light, space and a seamless indoor/outdoor experience to the sprawling heart of the home.
Incorporated into the space is a long galley-style kitchen with Neff oven and integrated appliances that sits adjacent to a large multi-function scullery serving as a butler’s pantry, store room and laundry. A pitched ceiling draws the eye down a long hallway from which flows three lovely bedrooms graced with dreamy water views and the smart three-way spa bathroom with marble top vanity and walk-in shower.
Additional appointments include a guests’ powder room, Atlantic electric panel heaters, reverse-cycle airconditioning, 80,000L house water storage and small dam, fruit trees and vegetable gardens plus a remote-controlled triple garage with store room all set beyond remote gates at the end of a long tree-lined drive.
