Gracing one of the largest residential landholdings in Coronet Bay, "Yoorhooga" is a magnificent federation homestead where heritage grandeur and beautiful modern enhancement converge. Built in 1912, Yoorhooga was the original homestead of the larger 460-acre estate which has since been developed into the township of Coronet Bay. The elevated position of the residence takes in picturesque ocean views across Western Port Bay and surrounding farmland.
The interiors have been improved with modern comforts whilst keeping many of the original features. Solid timber flood boards, soaring high ceilings, decorative mouldings and original solid timber walls are reminiscent of the early 20th century excess and opulent architecture from when Yoorhooga was first built. Modern reverse cycle air conditioning, upgraded lighting, renovated bathrooms and a modern kitchen, complete with quality appliances, create a residence that is both comfortable to live in and easy to maintain.
Encircling the ground floor on three sides, the 3 meter wide wrap around veranda takes in the panoramic ocean views. The ground floor comprises the main bedroom with ensuite, two guest bedrooms, kitchen, formal dining room, formal lounge, family/games room, bathroom and laundry, all linked via a central hallway. The main bedroom is generous in proportion, featuring an ensuite and private entry onto the veranda.

Flooded with natural light, the kitchen has been renovated with modern Smeg and Miele appliances. Upstairs comprises a bedroom, living area, kitchenette and bathroom, perfect for visiting guests or a teenager retreat.
Set on 7,127 square metres of land, approximately, in one certificate of title, the residence is surrounded by established private gardens complete with a green shed and two detached garages that feature a five-kilowatt solar system, concrete floors, power and roller doors. The surrounding farmland offers an element of privacy combined with the convenience of a location that is walking distance to the Coronet Bay town centre and sandy swimming beach.
