542 Esplanade, Mount Martha VIC 3934

Iconic seaside luxury on rare 2/3rd acre.

An iconic address synonymous with Mt Martha, “Moonshine'' holds one of this seaside village's much treasured positions directly across the road from the beach and foreshore paths leading to village shops in one direction or on a lovely walk past historic markers all the way to Mornington.

Set behind iron gates and wrapped in long rambling verandahs, the luxury home resonates a romantic elegance with glorious gardens and a stunning air of grandeur, while inside beautiful modern updates add befitting Hampton's style.

A rare chance to buy almost two-thirds of an acre in this exclusive and tightly-held beachside location, the four-bedroom home by award-winning Hoban Hynes Design presents the ultimate life of leisure including an indoor heated pool with spa jets, while a wide balcony and a turreted “look-out'' deliver views across the bay to Melbourne's city skyline.

There are four grand living areas, all with distinct purpose, including a two with large fireplaces, a billiards room and an upper level retreat lounge opening out to the viewing balcony set among the treetops.

A new granite country kitchen is custom crafted to perfection, sitting beside a choice of dining areas inside and out, including a dining area flanked in glass and a covered alfresco deck with radiant heaters overhead, while stairs lead down to a large wine cellar with a bar and room to lounge.

The parent's wing includes a luxurious master bedroom, ensuite with double shower and freestanding tub, and a large dressing room, while three other generous bedrooms share a family bathroom with a round freestanding soaker tub.

With beautiful oak floors and plantation shutters adding coastal flair, the home also includes a study, Bang & Olufsen surround sound, reverse-cycle ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, double remote-controlled garage, solar power, water tanks, green house and wood shed.
