As you travel along the Great Ocean Road you pull off at Wongarra to one of the most remarkable residences & properties in Australia. Architect Col Bandy was given a brief to create a residence that promoted social interaction between the owners and guests, and this is evident from the moment you enter. At the edge of the Otway Ranges, the holding offers total privacy and positioned to have a full interaction with its stunning views in all directions.
Set on 400 acres of farmland, bush and returning forest, looking along the coast to Apollo Bay, with some Victoria’s great coastal views and with surf breaking at the foot of the property - this is where “the best of country meets the best of the sea.”
Entry to this 4-bedroom property is via a service road allowing a hassle free and easy arrival at the property gates. Immediately you notice the highly quality rolling green pastures and rustic timber livestock yards and loading pens. The driveway to the residence has just been re-laid and is in excellent condition for all types of vehicles to the residence.
Its hard to know where to place your eyes when you approach the residence, the visual sensations are beyond your imagination. This property takes in a huge valley with a large rock formation background known as the ‘The Dome’ (La Couple). But this tasteful modern home fits seamlessly into the environment.
The ingress into the residence is through a large garage, however there are multiple exterior entry points. On entry the external views are matched by the internal views- this is an “exquisite modern European / Asian infused sanctuary”.
The eastern wing of the home consists of three bedrooms with farm views and are centred around a luxurious family bathroom that includes a sunken bath, twin showers, toilet and vanity. Ultimately the residence is set on one level but centred around a split-level open plan living, kitchen and dining area which opens out into the walled courtyard, which is practical as well as creating a stunning indoor & outdoor entertaining area.
Western wing of the home consists of master bedroom, large ensuite, generous walk-in robes and storage areas. However, this could be one of the best bedroom views in the world. With 270 degrees of uninterrupted ocean, farm, mountains and valley views. This bedroom is truly breathtaking.
The north side of the property have well maintained and working vegetable garden terraces. The farmland has been managed by the vendor, but it could be arranged to have local farmers manage in a flexible arrangement.
There is a large hay shed / machinery shed centrally located on the property. While underground mains power is supplied to the property, the home boasts a 6.5Kw solar system, water supplied via 130,000 litres of fresh rainwater tanks.
Inspection will not disappoint.
