Description: Exclusively positioned on a rare beachside acreage embracing a scenic stretch of Hopetoun Creek and edged by walking trails to the Village, the Beach and The Briars, this sprawling, privately set north-west oriented five-bedroom family home will truly captivate with its idyllic garden and bushland gully vistas, best enjoyed from a shady, full-width wisteria-draped veranda. Set well back from the road behind automatic gates, the character-rich single-level homestead-style residence takes centre stage on the 2.5 acre property (9,998 square metres, approx.) that was once part of the Balcombe Army Camp. Light filled and generously proportioned the main open plan area, featuring a two-way wood fire heater, is designed for relaxed living and impressive entertaining with walls of north-west facing glass doors offering indoor/outdoor connection to the stunning natural environment. The long, decked verandah, capped with wisteria, and hedged with citrus, provides year-round fruit, flowers and fragrance, and looks out over parklike grounds incorporating a rotunda, custom kids cubby, and veggie gardens, while a private footbridge, a remnant of the property's previous existence, leads to tranquil walking tracks that can take you to The Village and the beach in around 20 minutes. Freshly painted and beautifully presented, the architect designed layout offers an adaptive floorplan with a choice of living/dining spaces, a gourmet stone/DeLonghi central kitchen with built-in study nook and window seat, and a powder room, while the 'bedroom wing' comprises two robed bedrooms, a guest room with walk-in robe and access to a private deck, the main bathroom, and the master bedroom suite, with a walk-in robe, and ensuite, plus an additional spacious living area/retreat that could function as a 5th bedroom, nursery, or home-office, as it has exterior deck access. Additional features include a laundry with external access, a double garage with plenty of storage, painted interior and floor and split system air conditioning, plus a double carport and plenty of off-street parking, central ducted heating, split systems, 2 x 25,000 litre water tanks, and a CCTV security system. With plenty of space and scope to install a swimming pool (STCA) and elevate this property to dream house status, this coveted Mount Martha lifestyle location is in walking distance to The Village, the beach, Balcombe Estuary reserve, The Briars, Mount Martha House, tennis, bowls and petanque clubs, and is close to Balcombe Grammar School, Balcombe Pre-School and Mount Martha Primary.
