Idyllically located in Merricks on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, ‘Inverary’ is a breathtaking coast-meets-country estate with panoramic water and Phillip Island views, complemented by a separate luxury guest accommodation, studio, and a resort-style swimming pool and spa. 

Positioned approximately an hour from Melbourne and minutes from world-class vineyards, restaurants, golf courses, hot springs and beaches, the less than ten-year-old residence was designed by Stephen Akehurst and is set within acres of captivating Paul Bangay gardens.

“Inveraray is a very special property — the gardens and privacy make it feel like your own exclusive retreat,”Stephen Baster told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The views are absolutely magnificent, and it truly stands out as one of the Peninsula’s trophy homes. Tucked away and hidden from the world, it’s a rare find.”

Positioned on approximately 5.46 hectares (13.5 acres), a tree-lined drive culminating in a turning circle leads to the sprawling, single-level domain, displaying the signature style elements of one of Australia’s most acclaimed architects. 

The highly considered design showcases indoor/outdoor connectivity to the garden and views via an abundance of double glazing and a series of alfresco courtyards, covered verandahs and decked terraces.

The chateau-worthy central kitchen features a curated French Lacanche range, expanses of natural stone, exquisite cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, and water views.

The customised layout offers four zoned bedroom suites, including two masters with walk-in robes and luxurious fully-tiled ensuites. 

A choice of formal and informal living, dining and entertaining spaces, four impeccably appointed bathrooms, and two studies ensure outstanding adaptability and liveability. There are also another two bedrooms and a shared bathroom in the luxurious guest house, incorporating the triple open garage.

With a backdrop of Western Port waters and Phillip Island, the bluestone-surrounded mosaic tiled heated swimming pool and spa is positioned to enjoy mesmerising panoramas across the entire estate. 

Impeccably curated by world-renowned landscape designer, Paul Bangay, the expansive gardens were laid out and planted before the home was built and have matured into a botanical wonderland.

Meandering paths lead past ornamental trees, lush lawns, a private lake with jetty, and a picturesque greenhouse, while hidden machinery sheds keep the property’s operations discreetly tucked away.
