3 Telfords Access, Apollo Bay VIC 3233

Once you visit this property you will find it difficult to leave. Offering the quintessential lifestyle – a ten minute walk through your own private bush track will take you to Marengo beach, a short 5 minute drive to the centre of Apollo Bay, a stunning home with bespoke fixtures and fittings and a thriving accommodation business - all tucked away in it’s own private sanctuary on just over 16 acres of pristine bushland – you won’t need to look any further.

This property has been crafted by one family over thirty-five years and what has been created is nothing short of stunning. A short drive along the Barham River and you will arrive at Sea Valley Cottages just on the fringe of Apollo Bay where the township meets the forest. Stonewalled landscaped gardens lead to the main home which is perfectly pitched facing north toward the Otway Ranges.

Enter from the large deck and you will notice right away the impeccable style and quality of this home. With customised built-in furniture, parquetry detail and hand-crafted floorboards, the attention to detail and craftsmanship throughout the property is astounding.

The central entrance area is large, and from here you will access the kitchen, living/dining, bathroom and stairwell. The kitchen is modern and spacious with quality appliances and fittings. Likewise, the bathroom / French laundry is large, stylish and modern with ample storage. Windows line the walls of the open plan living/dining area where you can take in views of the landscaped garden and forest, or rug up next to the wood burner during wintertime and listen to the sound of the ocean.

The quarter-turn staircase is custom built with parquetry detail and leads to three good sized bedrooms, two with built-in robes and ladder access to the attic. The master boasts a large walk-in robe and window-box daybed with storage. A study is also located on this level, and all rooms have pitched ceilings, attic windows and character in spades.

What is exceptional about this property is the two gorgeous holiday cottages that are currently run as a successful boutique accommodation business. Both cottages have the same attention to detail as the main house. Customised craftsmanship and styled beautifully, with extraordinary views through bushland to the Barham Valley. They are private, with separate entrances, parking and rear courtyards. Please contact us for more details on the cottages and business information.

This property is bound to impress because of its uniqueness and business potential. There are several storage and work sheds on the property, all in excellent condition. In the north-eastern corner of the property, plans to build a large family home commenced some years ago. With the planning permit now expired, there is potential to realise this vision and create something spectacular of your own, tucked into bushland with glorious ocean views.
