House description
“Secluded Natural Retreat”
Nestled in a quiet court at the foot of Beleura Hill is this enchanting retreat that offers a wonderfully unique lifestyle. Beyond the modest rendered double brick faade, this two-bedroom residence reveals a private sanctuary of natural gardens, warm earthy materials and functional living. Internally the materials and finishes create a warm living environment full of character. The simple layout allows all the living areas to take advantage of the Northerly aspect with two good-sized bedrooms, the living area and the kitchen all opening onto the deep verandah that runs the length of the house. The open plan living area lined by earthen tiles under-foot, is surrounded by built-in shelves, accommodating an extensive library of books, while a gas log fire provides radiant warmth during the cooler weather. The kitchen, complete with granite bench-tops, looks out over a truly authentic alfresco area, covered by a gorgeous canopy of ornamental grape vines, providing cooling shade during summer, amazing colours in autumn and allowing natural sunlight through during winter.
Beyond the deck, across the herb terrace, is the boat- shed studio, which also houses the laundry and an additional shower and toilet. The landscaped garden, lawn and formal vegetable garden lead down to Tanti Creek, whose permanent spring fed waters gurgle and splash around and over rocks, creating a tranquil space to sit and enjoy the serenity of the natural surrounds, which also attracts an array of local wildlife including, from time to time, families of ducks.
Ideally located within a short walk to Mornington's most desirable features including Mill's Beach, Shire Hall Beach and Mother's Beach, the Harbour, foreshore walking tracks, parks and the diverse range of cafs and shops of Main Street, an undoubtedly unique opportunity awaits for those looking for a down to earth lifestyle or an ideal holiday retreat.
The house has excellent thermal properties: double brick, internal brick walls, concrete slab, top grade insulation, deciduous vines across the north face, and good cross ventilation. Other features include: carport, water tanks, open barbeque area, large shed, a water-wise landscaped garden displaying a mix of native, ornamental and succulent flora. The house has generous built-in cupboards and shelving, and granite benches throughout kitchen and bathroom.
Set on 764m2 of land there is potential for redevelopment (STCA) making this property a solid financial and lifestyle investment.
