21-49 Yarram Creek Lane

Swan Bay VIC 3225

Some spend a lifetime searching for a place like this. The family behind this remarkable property simply had the vision to create it and love it over a lifetime. A private lane beneath mature gums delivers you to a 20 acre Swan Bay frontage estate embedded in its landscape, where sunrise lifts across the bay, sunset falls toward Marcus Hill and the Bellarine feels both beautifully close and completely elsewhere.

Directly north oriented and split across the natural rise of the site, the residence sits low and lets the view hold the room. Timber-lined ceilings bring warmth overhead, while broad glazing draws the open sky and shifting rural landscape into the open plan living, meals and kitchen domain. The timber kitchen is positioned for slow mornings at the breakfast bar with Swan Bay in sight and the day beginning beyond the glass. Sliding doors open to alfresco decks on both sides, drawing air through the home and creating outdoor rooms for coffee, long lunches and evening drinks, followed by stories beside the firepit beneath a star filled sky.

Inside, the palette is organic, restrained and deeply connected to place. An open fireplace and a wood fire bring a winter atmosphere, with heat ducted through the home for comfort beyond the main living zones. The lower level bedroom wing includes two bedrooms and the main bathroom, while a dedicated home office sits privately adjacent to the living domain. The master suite steps privately down into its own retreat with ensuite, built-in robe, walk-in robe and direct outdoor access. A substantial laundry/mudroom is ready for the realities of rural life.
