A once in a lifetime opportunity to buy your own piece of Paradise, only minutes away from Lorne.
Perched high above the St. George River is this outstanding home designed by architect Col Bandy. It provides a highly flexible floor plan of many multi functioning, light filled spaces created to maximise the 360 degrees of spectacular panoramic views. Ranging from the expanse of the ever changing ocean to the unspoilt bushland of the Otway National Park, this most private setting overlooks no other buildings. A rare thing in Lorne.
A variety of ambient outdoor entertainment areas comprising a courtyard, generous terrace and spacious deck are there to be enjoyed with your family & friends whilst you take the beauty of the stunning vistas.
The two- storey Studio building situated approximately 50 metres below the main house provides additional open plan living and sleeping areas, also with its own private deck, to add to the plentiful accommodation.
Situated on 23 acres and boasting 330 metres of Great Ocean Road frontage, this unique property offers the seclusion of your very own private resort in one of the most idyllic settings along this iconic road. A perfect & safe family beach & rock pools are just below on the estuary of the St. George River. Kangaroos, wallabies, koalas and many species of native birds abound to further enhance the experience of this natural coastal environment.
An ingenious aspect of this unusual property, the guest area, is a completely self-contained Annex (also with views) with its own bathroom & cooking facility. It shares with the lock- up garage and solar equipment room the benefit of being under earth, virtually built into the rock, providing a fairly even temperature all year round. A rather novel feature is perhaps the spa bath which is covered by a bed that can easily be raised when a bath is required, perfectly positioned in front of a big picture window, perchance to dream.
Both buildings have been designed to be ecologically sensitive to this very special environment with:
*2 Independent stand alone Solar Power systems
*Northern orientation to minimise the need for daytime heating
*7 Water tanks
*3 Wood burning slow combustion heaters
*LPG bottle gas for hot water, cooking & additional heating
*2 Treatment plants
*Both houses have over window sprinkler systems
