Glynt Manor resides in a world of its own surrounded by two acres of gorgeous gardens and offering sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay and the majestic coastline.
A reminder of the days when the peninsula was the playground of Melbourne’s ultra wealthy and now a boutique hotel styled on Europe’s grand luxury retreats only moments from Mt Martha Village and one of the bay’s finest beaches, Glynt Manor is a unique opportunity for either business or indulgent pleasure.
Set behind wrought iron gates and sub-tropical gardens with towering figs, date palms, ponds, lush lawn areas and meandering paths, the sprawling manor home offers up to 10 bedrooms including six individually themed suites offered to guests with private sitting rooms, open fireplaces and sumptuous ensuites.
The residence’s distinctive tower houses one of the suites with a bedroom beneath a glass ceiling to watch the stars at night and an ensuite that opens to the top of the tower and an outdoor spa bath.
Imported French crystal chandeliers adorn many rooms along with gold leaf detailed ceiling roses, ostrich feather-fringed drapes and a host of other unique and decadent fittings and fixtures added by the current owners.
Grand formal lounge and dining rooms allow for entertaining on any scale and there is also a large breakfast room or summer lounge with arched windows providing views of the gardens.
Built in 1910 by the Henty family as a seaside retreat and owned by another prominent Victorian family the Buxtons from 1917 to 1983, Glynt Manor originally stood on 70 acres.
It was converted into luxury accommodation by two subsequent owners, but a major renovation over the past two years has returned it to its former glory and offers the purchaser the option to continue the boutique hotel business or simply enjoy it as one of Victorias finest homes in an amazingly private beachside setting.
Other features include a commercial kitchen, hydronic heating, eight bathrooms, up to eight living areas, a cellar and triple garage.
