Overview

ARCHITECTURAL ACREAGE LIVING & VIEWS OF THE BAY!

Set within the tranquil environment of The Gurdies, this unique five-acre acreage property offers a blend of warmth, character, and adaptable living spaces, enhanced by expansive views over Western Port Bay and a converted bus that provides additional accommodation or guest quarters.

The property is surrounded by mature trees and native gardens, with a driveway lined by sleeper-retained garden beds. The home impresses immediately with its cathedral-style facade, large feature windows, and durable Colorbond roofing. Fully fenced to ensure privacy and versatile lifestyle options, the grounds provide ample room for trades, hobbies, or peaceful country living.

Inside, the use of recycled timber and original hardwood flooring, recently refinished, adds depth and texture. The soaring ceilings and extensive glazing establish a strong connection to the natural surroundings. Ambient lighting throughout, including LED recessed kitchen lights and partially tinted west-facing windows, enhances comfort and atmosphere. The home is fully insulated, featuring underfloor insulation and enhanced acoustic insulation on the upper level.

The lower level is designed for practical family living, comprising two bedrooms, a central bathroom, a separate WC, and a full laundry with external access. The bedrooms are zoned and benefit from ducted heating and reverse cycle heating and cooling. The open-plan kitchen, meals, and living area form the heart of the home, accentuated by exposed beams, impressive cathedral ceilings, and feature lighting. The renovated kitchen boasts timber benchtops, a subway tile splashback, Bosch dishwasher, Smeg oven, Fisher & Paykel cooktop, and Blanco rangehood. A fireplace in the living area adds warmth and ambiance, while sliding doors open onto a large decked entertaining area.

Outside, the expansive rear deck overlooks a firepit area and the converted bus, creating an inviting space for relaxed evenings, entertaining, or quiet enjoyment of the serene landscape. The grounds offer an exceptional outdoor lifestyle with established walking tracks, a woodshed, workshop, extensive storage, and a private wildlife sanctuary feel.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a private retreat featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, split system cooling, ceiling fan, hardwood flooring, and a lofty ceiling that enhances the spaciousness. The ensuite includes modern finishes, a stone-top vanity, and a generous shower with both standard and handheld showerheads. A tiled balcony complements this upper-level sanctuary, capturing breathtaking sunsets and ever-changing bay views.

The converted "Tiger" Leyland bus adds exceptional versatility, thoughtfully fitted with a kitchenette, living area, bed with robes, and a separate bathroom with shower, vanity, and toilet. Equipped with an inverter panel and ready for solar connection, it provides ideal accommodation for extended family, guests, creative use, or a private retreat.

Additional features include a double carport, L-shaped garage/workshop with mezzanine storage, extra storage and garden shed, three water tanks (including a 50,000L tank servicing the home), NBN connection, and recently repainted lounge interiors.

Located just moments from The Gurdies Nature Conservation Reserve, Pioneer Bay, and a boat ramp providing access to Western Port Bay, the property is also close to The Gurdies Winery, with Grantville Village and local shops only a short five-minute drive away. This property offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and stunning coastal views.
