26 Browns Road, Main Ridge
‘PATTERDALE’
With over one hundred years of history, this magnificent property is now available for a new owner to lead it into the next century.
The views from all parts of the property are simply breathtaking. Expansive water views capture the whole southern peninsula across to Queenscliff and, on a clear day, the You Yang’s hang in the distance. There are equally beautiful and expansive views of the rolling green hills that are constantly changing with the seasons. Set to this stunning backdrop is the incredible garden landscape of Patterdale’s magical 8-acre rural wonderland.
Circa 1890’s, the original limestone cottage has been extended over the years creating a classic country-style homestead. With extensive verandas, original features and a relaxed four-bedroom, five-bathroom single-level floor plan with plenty of scope for further improvement. Plans for additional upgrades including a new kitchen and butler’s pantry will be provided to the lucky purchaser.
The spectacular pool house/barn by renowned designer Stephen Akehurst adds a spectacular new dimension. The 20m fully tiled pool, spa and gymnasium on the lower level lead upstairs to the ideal home office or guest accommodation with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring, bathroom & large climate-controlled wine cellar.
No expense has been spared in the creation of these truly beautiful and unique gardens. The crowing piece is a man-made wetland garden teaming with life including yabbies, native fish and turtles.
A whimsically curved soldier fence, separating the house from the water, has been elegantly designed to meet pool regulations allowing total peace of mind. The original worker’s cottage has been rebuilt at the water’s edge and is fully self-contained, currently used as an art studio.
Offering complete self-sufficiency, an extensive vegetable garden, green house and gorgeous chook shed complement an established orchard boasting many varieties of citrus, stone fruit, apple, apricot and fig. In addition, there are 25 oaks inoculated with black truffle ready to be harvested.
Features too numerous to list include large shedding / garaging, indoor/outdoor heated pool, automated pool cover, 10kw solar panels, air conditioning, CCTV and security system, extensive irrigation and drainage infrastructure and fabulous children’s tree house.
‘Patterdale’ is a truly unique property, steeped in history and developed beautifully, offering a wonderful opportunity for the fortunate buyers to secure one of the Mornington Peninsula’s finest lifestyle escapes.
Proudly marketed by the team at Peninsula Sotheby’s International Realty.
