Perhaps you’re looking for a sea change or a serene sanctuary to enjoy on a quiet weekend, but no matter what you’re looking for it’s hard to argue with the architecture and views offered by 2275 Mornington-Flinders Road, Flinders. Located just over an hour from the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, this semi-rural acreage spans nearly 13 hectares of paddocks, thickets of native trees and even a string of dams, confirming it as an ideal spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the big smoke.
All counted, the main residence at 2275 Mornington-Flinders Road, Flinders, contains four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with room to park no less than five of your favourite cars. What’s even better is if you’re looking to ditch your keys in favour of a canter around the property, the estate also features a five-horse stable to truly enjoy the hobby-farm lifestyle, which sits just next to the free-standing studio building.
It’s not the largest home you’re likely to find on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula, however, I’d challenge you to find one with a more spectacular structural shape, which delivers an experience right from the front door. Upon pulling up the gently curved gravel driveway, you arrive at an entrance walkway flanked on either side by lush gardens, providing a rich contrast to the rammed earth exterior walls that meet at the wooden entrance door.

The curved rammed earth walls not only create something of a fulcrum around which the residence can revolve around but also brings a textural warmth to the interior that creates a feeling of continuation from the outside. This impression is doubled down on by the floor-to-ceiling windows that deliver almost 180-degree views south towards The Nobbies and Bass Strait, inviting the natural landscape into the home, from the sea to the sky.
After experiencing the magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen space once you move through the entrance foyer, the northern wing is where you’ll find three of the four bedrooms adjacent to the undercover double garage, while the southern wing is where you’ll want to spend most of your time. This is where the master bedroom can be found, complete with a walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom, as well as a home office or study if the emails need checking.
The home at 2275 Mornington-Flinders Road, Flinders, has been thoughtfully considered in its design and construction, from the freestanding fireplace to the inviting alfresco dining area and external deck. It is currently listed on the market for private sale by the team at RT Edgar Mornington Peninsula, with a price guide of between $13 million and $14.3 million.
