Overview
This distinctive family residence, thoughtfully known as 'The Bunker,' represents a compelling fusion of architectural artistry and natural beauty along the Mornington Peninsula coastline. Its innovative rammed-earth construction showcases a tactile connection to the earth, blending raw textures with refined finishes to create a serene and grounded living environment.
The home's layout wraps delicately around a central courtyard garden, which acts as a peaceful sanctuary flooding each space with natural light and framing views of lush native landscaping. This design fosters a sense of privacy and oneness with nature, producing a calming experience regardless of where you are within the property.
The expansive lounge and dining areas open towards a northwest-facing outdoor deck, featuring comforts like a gas log fireplace and a gourmet kitchen equipped with premium Smeg and Miele appliances, sleek 40mm stone countertops, and custom cabinetry. An extendable awning makes this area versatile and comfortable throughout the year. Overlooking a curated low-maintenance garden, these spaces offer an inviting setting for relaxed living and entertaining.
Beyond the communal spaces, a secondary lounge provides a quieter retreat, creating a balanced separation before reaching the master suite. The master bedroom includes a bespoke dressing room, private ensuite, and a terrace, offering residents a luxurious and private haven. Three additional bedrooms each have their own ensuites and are thoughtfully positioned to encourage ample privacy through their relationship to the courtyard.
Additional practical amenities like a dedicated home office, a powder room, fitted laundry, and a double garage support a contemporary lifestyle. Climate control is managed via central heating/cooling and multiple split-system units, ensuring comfort across all seasons.
Perfectly positioned mere steps from the shoreline, this home blends coastal tranquility with a country feel. The location provides easy access to local boutiques such as the Merricks Yacht Club and Tulum Store, while the wider Peninsula hinterland, including Balnarring Village and Merricks General Wine Store, is only a short drive away. The property is well-suited for those seeking a sophisticated coastal lifestyle grounded in design, nature, and convenience.
