Overview

4 Fingal Court, Cape Schanck VIC 3939

Sited spectacularly within the exclusive natural setting of the National Estate, on approximately one acre, this award-winning house projects through tree tops, elevated above lush green fairways to capture panoramic uninterrupted ocean vistas. It is one of the few properties with views extending across the Mornington Peninsula to Port Phillip Bay.

With sweeping views of the golf course, the house is the recipient of the Robin Boyd Award, Australia's most prestigious residential architectural accolade. Designed by renowned Denton Corker Marshall, this landmark coastal residence is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most celebrated private homes. The architecture respects both the coastal environment and the thoughtful planning of the prestigious National Golf Course, exerting an uncompromising but polite presence in its surroundings.

Privacy is maintained by an electrically operated gate and a tree-lined inclined driveway leading to the house, which projects dramatically into space. The property comprises two wings organized in a linear plan, separated by a weather-protected alfresco courtyard. The upper level of the main house includes living, dining, and kitchen areas, each with spectacular and uninterrupted coastal views. The master bedroom and en-suite, separated by a hidden sliding door, feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls with views to the coast.

Changing weather patterns provide a continuous point of interest, with beautiful and ever-changing sunsets. The exterior is robust and weather-protected with concrete and glass, supported by a steel frame for stability against winter weather. An extended slot window strategically frames ocean views while maintaining a sense of enclosure and protection from the elements.

The internal atmosphere of the upper level is softened by maple veneer joinery, contributing warmth to counter the winter weather and misty landscape. There is an open wood-burning fireplace for family and friends to gather around in winter. Each space has a gallery-like sensibility, capturing awe-inspiring ocean views, especially appreciated from the kitchen and dining areas.

The open living and dining zones extend toward a streamlined kitchen fitted with Smeg appliances and stainless steel surfaces. Accommodation planning is intelligently arranged, with two generous bedrooms and a central bathroom, including a separate laundry, occupying the separated lower level. A maple-veneer bedhead integrates concealed storage, keeping the space visually open and well composed.

Beyond the living space on the upper level, separated by a weather-protected alfresco courtyard with dense planting and a stainless steel garden screen, is a guest house, studio, or home office. This flexible space has its own bathroom, kitchenette, and work and leisure areas.

The home is complete with ducted heating and cooling, a double carport, and substantial lock-up storage with capacity to secure and retain a golf cart. It enjoys immediate pedestrian access to one of Australia's most prestigious golf courses, with the clubhouse within comfortable walking distance, making dining and casual coffee an effortless daily pleasure.

A short drive connects the property to the RACV Resort and Golf Course, expansive wellness and recreational facilities, and the broader Mornington Peninsula lifestyle, including sophisticated coastal restaurants and multiple internationally award-winning wineries. This positions the home at the center of one of Victoria's most celebrated epicurean regions.

This is a home of architectural significance with innate privacy, located in a secure exclusive gated estate with unparalleled panoramic views. There are only 22 houses on the estate, with no opportunity to attain further land to build. The property occupies the highest point and most commanding views on the estate, a proposition impossible to replicate.
