8 Danina Court, Rosebud VIC 3939

With a spellbinding vista laid out before you stretching from Bass Strait to the Heads, the Bellarine Peninsula and the You Yangs, this distinctive home on more than half an acre is the perfect peninsula retreat for weekends or permanent living.

Set high on the hillside of Arthurs Seat and backing onto the state park, walls of glass framing the views meaning you won't miss a thing out on the bay – from the passing parade of ships and sail boats to the ever-changing weather conditions.

Dramatically high exposed truss ceilings in both living areas add to the home's sense of space with a well-appointed galley kitchen featuring a view from the sink that will make doing the dishes seem worthwhile.

Facing almost due north, a full-length balcony provides sublime outdoor entertaining while a sheltered terrace off the family room is the perfect spot to sit and listen to the local birdlife and watch the eagles soar overhead.

The master bedroom features a wall of mirrored robe and an ensuite while two other generously sized bedrooms share the main bathroom and separate toilet.

Little more than an hour from the city with easy freeway access, a few minutes from beaches and a short walk to the Bay Views Golf Course, other features include landscaped gardens, a double garage and double carport.
