Some homes look good in photos. This one stops you at the door.
36 Miners Drive is the kind of property that quietly raises the bar — meticulously finished, impeccably maintained, and loaded with the sort of features that most buyers spend years searching for. Whether you’re a growing family needing room to breathe or a downsizer who refuses to compromise, this home delivers on every front.
The Floorplan That Works For Everyone
With five bedrooms, three living zones, and 252m² of thoughtfully designed internal space on an 869m² allotment, the layout adapts to your life rather than the other way around. Nine-foot ceilings set the tone from the moment you walk through the door — immediately, this feels different.
The main bedroom is a genuine retreat: a custom walk-in robe, luxurious ensuite with oversized shower, and the kind of quiet separation from the rest of the home that busy households — and empty nesters — both crave. Three further bedrooms are all generous in size, each with built-in robes, serviced by a full-sized main bathroom finished to a standard that genuinely impresses.
Three Living Zones. Zero Compromise.
The heart of the home is a sleek, stone-benchtop kitchen designed for people who actually cook and actually entertain — abundant bench space, quality appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a seamless flow to a dining area that comfortably seats twelve. This is where the home opens up and shows its scale. A second living area offers a quieter retreat — ideal for reading, music, or simply escaping the noise. The third space is the showstopper: a dedicated home cinema with a 155″ screen and ten-point immersive sound system. It also converts effortlessly to a fifth bedroom if that’s what your family needs. Flexibility built in, not bolted on.
The Outdoor Space That Seals the Deal
Step outside and the entertaining potential becomes immediately obvious. A massive covered patio — 6.3 x 11.3 metres — is the kind of space where summers actually happen. Protected from the elements, proportioned for real gatherings, and connecting seamlessly to manicured gardens.
Beyond that: a basketball shooting deck and a private putting green. For families, this is the backyard that becomes the neighbourhood magnet. For down-sizers, it’s the outdoor lifestyle without any of the upkeep headaches.
The Extras That Matter
A large 8m x 5m powered shed sits separately on the block — ideal for the tradie, the hobbyist, or anyone who needs serious storage. The oversized double garage (6.5m deep) adds further secure parking and workshop potential. Gas ducted heating, split-system cooling, and solar power round out a home that’s as practical as it is polished.
Location Without Sacrifice
Tucked in one of Wonthaggi’s most quietly sought-after pockets, you’re within easy reach of schools, shops, and parkland — and only minutes from the Bass Coast coastline that continues to attract buyers from across Victoria.
Wonthaggi itself is a town in genuine transition. The new Bass Coast Regional Health hospital redevelopment has cemented the town’s role as the region’s service hub, driving confidence and underpinning long-term property values. An expanding network of walking and cycling trails connects the town to surrounding coastal reserves and countryside — the kind of liveability infrastructure that buyers increasingly prioritise. Melbourne is accessible via the South Gippsland Highway, making this a realistic proposition for those looking to escape the city without losing connectivity.
For investors, the fundamentals are compelling. Rental demand across the Bass Coast continues to strengthen, and Wonthaggi’s combination of services, lifestyle, and affordability relative to its coastal neighbours makes it one of regional Victoria’s more astute long-term plays.
This isn’t just a great home in a good street. It’s the right property, in a town moving in the right direction.
Homes at this level of quality and presentation in this location are rare. This one has been brought to market fresh — and it won’t need long to find its next chapter.
