Last Listing description (June 2023)
Period homes on the Mornington Peninsula are extremely rare, and this lovingly renovated 1920s farmhouse on 2.7 acres is simply divine. Built on the site of one of the areas original apple orchards, this beautiful home is perfectly positioned and represents a priceless piece of local history. Set 150 meters off the road up a tree lined gravel driveway, Orchard House brings a stylish Daylesford sensibility to the Mornington Peninsula. Nestled in an easy to maintain garden, surrounded by neighbouring large acreage, the setting of the house is gloriously private. Boasting highest quality commitment to design and craftsmanship, Orchard House is warm and welcoming, with its nine-foot ceilings, timber lining boards throughout, hard wood floors, stunning ceiling roses, bespoke hardwood cabinetry in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry and sparkling chandeliers in almost every room.
From the kitchen and dining room, through timber French doors, you look out to a travertine edged mineral pool which is surrounded by lush gardens. The outlook includes an array of beautiful old established trees, Irish Strawberry, Oak, Gum and Cyprus, and the stunning bird life these trees attract. The covered, wonderfully deep back veranda, looking over the pool, provides fantastic lounging and barbecuing options year-round. There are also fruiting trees and a productive vegetable garden brimming with homegrown produce.
At the front of the property, totally separate from the house and with fantastic main road frontage, is a 27-metre x 10-metre workshop on a 5-inch concrete slab with three phase power. The workshop is designed to facilitate easy access for trucks and deliveries. The current owner has used the workshop as a very successful furniture making business for the past 10 years. Prior to this the property was the site of a commercial nursery. There are endless opportunities for the workshop space which include additional rental income, workspace to suit a range of businesses, or storage for boats and cars.
The local area is serviced by wonderful government and private schools and is a short 5-minute drive to the Mornington Peninsula freeway and an easy one-hour drive to the CBD. A quick drive down Coolart Rd has you at all the wonderful local beaches and wineries that make the Peninsula such a brilliant place to live.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for anyone who loves style and design, heritage, beauty, and total privacy as well as the potential to enjoy the additional income the facilities on this property provide - all within easy access to the CBD. Orchard House really does provide the best of all worlds.
