Coast and Country: Tahiti Court house an all-year retreat

1 Tahiti Court, Cape Woolamai
$1-$1.1million
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces

In evocatively named Tahiti Court, this large house has sunny living areas and a gas fire for winter and a pool with a deck for summer. A timber-and-stone exterior, edged by a decorative stone garden, signals a commitment to natural materials that is continued inside.

The large main living room, which opens to a deck, has a mix of timber highlights and a stone-surrounded gas fire. There are three bedrooms, a rumpus room and family bathroom on the lower level. A main bedroom, with en suite, walk-in wardrobe, retreat and balcony, is upstairs. The surf beach is walking distance.

745 Arthurs Seat Road, Arthurs Seat
$1.05-$1.15 million
4 bedrooms. 3 bathrooms, 2 car spaces

On 1256 square metres, this large house is surrounded by bush with easy access to nearby walking trails as well as many of the Mornington Peninsula’s tourist hotspots. That’s the great appeal of Arthurs Seat – it is relatively quiet itself but is minutes to either bay or ocean beaches, as well as wineries and markets.

Built into the side of a sloping block, the house has a self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the lower ground level and a sprawling three-bedroom main residence on the upper level. Recently renovated, the main house has vast formal and informal living areas opening to angled, elevated verandahs.
