Nestled in an idyllic rural pocket close to the heart of the Mornington Peninsula, Downswood is an attractive sanctuary of (approx.) 10.7-acres/4.3-ha which uses innovative design features to offer comfortable modern living in a serene bush setting.
With a magnificent 4 bedroom residence and other attractions including a small chardonnay vineyard, a heated plunge pool/swim spa and views of Port Phillip Bay to the west, the property offers a restful country retreat or peaceful permanent living within easy reach of the Peninsula's many attractions yet only 50 minutes' drive from Melbourne.
Three fenced paddocks, large areas of open recreational space and a semi-self-contained three-room bungalow including bedroom with ensuite add to the property's desirability - and potential.
Set around a peaceful Zen courtyard and filled with the colours of the sky, bush and beach, the four-bedroom house is located at the high point of the property, making extensive use of glass doors and windows to integrate with the surrounding bush and tap into prevailing breezes.
At the heart of the home is a long kitchen and meals area with solid timber benchtops, Blanco appliances, a walk-in pantry, a laundry/food preparation room and pleasing outlooks to the north-facing courtyard and to rolling, wooded hills to the south.
Double glass doors lead to a light-filled lounge and dining area, where a soaring ceiling, vaulting glass walls and a magnificent open fireplace frame a stunning cathedral-style space.
A large study/library lined with floor-to-ceiling fitted book shelves heralds the start of a luxurious parents' retreat, comprising master bedroom, walk-through robe, sauna and deluxe spa ensuite with full-body jet shower.
At the other end of the building, family and guests enjoy their own wing with three bedrooms (one with ensuite) and a separate bathroom.
