542 Purves Road, Main Ridge

The rugged eloquence of its eucalypt surroundings perfectly frames the endearment of Wetherby, an enchanting 5-acre (approx.) existence with Port Phillip views extending from Sorrento to the You Yangs. Approached along a meandering driveway, its homestead vogue and freestanding studio unfold amidst an inherently cultivated landscape, gradually tapering to the rear where its refined lifestyle offering earnestly takes hold. A wraparound verandah defines the 5-bedroom residence's external vogue, opening up into an interior of cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors and exposed trusses around an open fireside living space. A fully-equipped timber kitchen serves inner and alfresco dining spaces, extending from under a vine-draped pergola to a sun-soaked deck, where a self-cleaning pool and spa sit amidst Clive Abben gardens, encompassing the best of the incredible bay-facing views. A picturesque kitchen garden bridges the gap between the main house and The Coach House, a charming dual-level cottage designed for in-law or holiday accommodation. It features one bedroom, a bright and airy living area, a convenient kitchenette, and the option to convert the one-car garage into a second bedroom. Additional features include a paddock and dam at the rear, a machinery shed and wood store, a chook house and pen, ample water storage, and automatic entry gates. The quintessential Mornington Peninsula lifestyle awaits amidst the rugged natural beauty of its Main Ridge hinterland, cradled by award-winning wineries, championship golfing experiences, and a contrasting mix of glistening bay beaches and wild ocean scenes.
