Summary:
A Premium Holiday Rental by Lively Properties
Positioned on Mount Martha's breathtaking cliff-top, this beautiful coastal home offers a refined winter escape with uninterrupted, panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay. Set amongst established gardens on 1,210sqm, the property invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the coastline in the cooler months—where dramatic skies and tranquil surroundings create a truly memorable stay.
The Space:
A split-level design and oversized picture windows are integral to the living experience, capturing ever-changing bay views while keeping interiors warm and inviting. Thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor connectivity allows you to enjoy the scenery in comfort, with soaring ceilings and clerestory windows bringing in soft natural light throughout the day.
At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen—featuring a Smeg dishwasher, Westinghouse oven, and a servery—flows seamlessly into both formal and informal living areas. The casual family domain stretches toward the horizon, with expansive glass opening to a decked balcony overlooking the bay—perfect for crisp winter mornings or relaxed afternoons taking in the view.
