Magnificent, elevated 11ha (27 acre) property, on the Melbourne side of Apollo Bay, with two beautiful houses in excellent condition, both with unmatched, panoramic, sea and land scape views and both with excellent access.
The property boasts a mixture of rainforest (complete with private waterfall) and designed pasture to promote and protect these majestic hilltop views and protect and seclude the two houses from each other.
The property is 10 minutes from Apollo Bay, an hour and a quarter from Geelong and two and a half hours from Melbourne.
House one is a multi-levelled and architect designed, Western Red Cedar, weatherboard home with commanding views from every room; down a dramatic valley, out to sea and over to Apollo Bay.
Large windows and the substantial deck are designed to capture those views to the full and to provide a light filled house. A sunny, north facing and sheltered courtyard fully utilizes the other side of the house. Beautiful, established and flower-filled garden and pathways surround the house, enhancing the views. On clear nights, these views take you all the way to the Cape Wickham light house on King Island, if you can caste your eyes down from the endless starlight sky.
This house features:
• A generous L shaped, open-planned lounge and a split level to the kitchen and welcome area.
• 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, (one incorporating a glass atrium, garden shower), laundry, plentiful cupboards, a large deck, covered porch area and patio.

House two is traditional Californian bungalow styled with a modern, open-planned, split level kitchen and living area at the rear of the house. This opens out onto rich sea and hillside views and directly overlooks Apollo Bay. The living areas are open, light-filled and sunny. All the old features of the Californian Bungalow contrast pleasingly with the modern, open feel of the kitchen/lounge/bathroom areas.
The predominantly native garden provides colour, shelter and privacy. Birds particularly love this garden as it provides abundance of protection and food.
