295 Montrose Avenue, Apollo Bay VIC 3233

Sitting atop the hills overlooking Apollo Bay, this property has stunning panoramic sea and country views from Cape Patton to Marengo. Set on 30 acres and only a few minutes' drive from the Apollo Bay township, this property has it all. Held by the current owners for over forty years, the original house has been significantly improved and extended.

The view as you enter the house into the open plan areas takes your breath away. Floor to ceiling windows take full advantage of the expansive views and the polished blackwood with featured blackbutt parquetry floors and floor to ceiling "shoji" screen accents throughout the house add to the luxurious aesthetic. A raised Alpine wood fire is a central feature of the living room. The kitchen would impress the most serious of cooks, with a massive granite topped island bench, stainless steel benchtops and quality appliances. On the north side of the living area the "teppanyaki" room with its surround stacker doors completely opens the room up to the outdoors and that fabulous view.

The three bedrooms are all very generously proportioned, each with its own sitting area. Two of the bedrooms have ensuites and the third is serviced by the central family bathroom, which boasts a spa bath and double granite shower. All bathrooms are beautifully designed with luxurious finishes, bespoke fixtures, and polished concrete floors. The main ensuite has a free-standing bath overlooking the valley. A cedar lined sauna room can be entered from the bathroom or laundry and there is also a large cedar heated spa on one the expansive decks.

An additional fully self-contained studio is open plan with a kitchenette, living space and sleeping area plus a chic hidden bathroom with shower, vanity, and toilet. Full length windows on 3 sides overlook the pine trees and valley and the unit enjoys its own private deck. The feature Coonara wood heater provides ambience and warmth in winter. Split system air conditioners provide year-round comfort throughout the house.

This property is packed with features and all with the backdrop of that spectacular view. The options here are endless. There is the potential to subdivide the 30 acres into multiple 5 acre lots (STCA) or operate the studio or house as a holiday or permanent rental. The large fully-lined garage with polished concrete floor could also potentially be converted into further accommodation or you could keep the whole property as a luxurious large multi-generational family home.
