Legend has it that the area near Apollo Bay known as ‘Marengo’ was named by Nicholas Baudin in the 18th Century as he skirted the Southern Coast of Australia; he named it after Napolean’s favourite horse! Fit for a Lord, this house at 12, Mitchell Court, is perfect for the high life providing ample entertaining space in a cosy, sleepy court. The beauty of this residence is the outstanding 180 degree views across the blue of the ocean towards ruggedly beautiful Cape Patton and the Otway hinterland, and it has a large Merbau deck to enjoy it from. The lounge, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom all have access to the deck, this is indoor/outdoor living at its best. With four spacious bedrooms, three roomy living areas, a spa, a large garage and an easily maintained garden, this house is perfect for those who like to spread out. But perhaps the best feature of this home is its proximity to the beach. Walk just 150 metres and you are standing on one of Victoria’s best beaches and watching the wildlife on the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary, so close to the shore.
