Enjoy the passing cavalcade of water-borne commercial and pleasure craft from this striking home overlooking the entrance to Spring Bay Harbour at Orford.

Country living was never better within easy reach of entertainment and services and this property offers 2 large workshops with undercover lockup storage for a motor home and 2 vehicles.

Extended and modified by these vendors since purchase in 2007 the profile of 49 Bernacchi Drive sits comfortably within the landscape as an understated but pleasing design for such a prominent location. Carefully landscaped gardens ensure privacy for outdoor entertaining areas both on the waterside and beside the home and the addition of a large family lounge with wood combustion heater has added terrific flexibility to the floor plan. Grey water and roof water collection compliment the town water supply and ensure year round attractive gardens.

The feeling inside the property is one of relaxed ambience and privilege. Large panoramic windows with sliding glass doors for access to the sundeck at the front of house catch the Maria Island sunrise and fill the living areas with morning sunlight.
The open plan dining, lounge and living areas flow to 3 separate bedrooms, the master with an en suite and all with walk in robes. Heating options include a choice of a reverse cycle heat pump and or cosy wood combustion heaters for the cooler months.
