Nestled at the end of a country lane drive, in the heart of one of Mount Martha's most coveted locales, lies a history-rich haven that epitomises family excellence on a grand scale. An iconic estate, ‘Taragowan’, spans approximately 1,183 sqm and seamlessly merges the verdant splendour of its impressive gardens with the timeless allure of its beach house heritage.
Meticulously preserved and tastefully enhanced, the exquisite c1927 charm now settles amongst a contemporary redesign where a modern coastal addition meets the desires of discerning families. At its heart, a ground floor entertaining domain encourages an indoor-outdoor fusion across sun-drenched living and dining proportions and an alfresco deck where the azure blue waters of the self-cleaning heated pool and spa (gas and heat pump) are mirrored upstairs with mesmerising Port Phillip Bay aspects. A secondary lounge preserves period detail with portico access and original open fireplace, while a central all-Miele kitchen celebrates modern functionality with a walk-in pantry, double ovens and induction cooktop.
The four bedroom 3-bathroom accommodation spills across a multi-level layout, catering for guests with a private ground-floor bedroom comprising walk-in robe and ensuite, with handmade Spanish feature tiling. A secondary accommodation wing keeps kids together with two robed bedrooms (one with additional attic storage room) both enjoying bay views, alongside a luxurious main bathroom with stone bath. The private master suite sits within its own wing to afford parents the utmost privacy across a rear balcony, fully-fitted walk-in robe and lavish light flooded ensuite.
With the opulence of a private outdoor bath and shower, an in-ground trampoline and manicured surroundings, the outdoor environment matches the luxury found within. A feature-heavy list of inclusions celebrates the effortless coastal lifestyle, including zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, under floor heating in all bathrooms, premium fixtures throughout, solid timber floors and high-grade carpet, 10 kw solar power, underground 3 phase power, a double garage with workshop and rear roller access, off-street parking for boats/caravans, and an automated front gate. Meeting with Mount Martha Village and Hawker Beach via a short stroll, this premium beachside address keeps both Mornington and Mount Martha’s best-kept amenities within easy reach.
