2/3478 Frankston-Flinders Road, Merricks, Vic 3916

Nestled in a serene landscape illustrious for its tranquillity and connection to nature, this newly crafted residence radiates palpable charm and rural allure. Inspired by the inviting beauty of a barn, yet embodying a sleek, architectural elegance, this single-level, north-facing masterpiece showcases silvertop ash cladding and a stacked stone entry wall that imbues an authentic warmth to its contemporary silhouette. Exposed reclaimed timber beams rise to meet vaulted ceilings, setting an ambiance of grandeur that flows seamlessly throughout the home. 

An open-plan layout grounded by engineered floorboards, exudes effortless cohesion with a recurring high-end palette of materials. Two sumptuous, sun-filled living zones, each graced by a Cheminee wood fireplace, offer ample space for families or those seeking a retreat that balances privacy without compromising unity. 

Designed for culinary artistry and lavish entertaining, the kitchen evokes sophistication through oyster linen cabinetry, Bolgheri stone accents, antique brass tapware, and a commodious butler’s pantry. A full suite of premium integrated appliances including a 900mm Smeg cooktop, skylights, and sliding stacker doors enhance the main entertaining area, extending onto a merbau deck with a pergola draped in ornamental grapevines. 

Three generously robed bedrooms occupy a dedicated hallway, with steel-framed doors at each end for privacy and separation from the living domains, served by a central main bathroom and powder room. 

Secluded at the far end, the main suite unfolds as a haven of luxury, bathed in natural northern light through the vast expanses of glass that frame the lush surrounds and mature trees. A panelled feature wall, walk-in robe, and spa-inspired ensuite with a freestanding bath and private deck access elevate this retreat to the pinnacle of opulent living. 

Spanning 1,447 sqm (approx) of meticulously landscaped grounds, the property is thoughtfully positioned for year-round enjoyment with sprawling lawns, native gardens, a fire pit, raised vegetable gardens, and water tank all overlooking neighbouring acreage. Underfloor heating in the bathrooms and ducted reverse-cycle climate control and double glazing ensure comfort through every season, while a home office, remote-access four car garage and gated entry provide a sense of security and exclusivity. 

Idyllically located just 250 metres from the beloved Merricks General Store and a short drive to Balnarring Village, this residence places prestigious wineries, restaurants, pristine beaches, schools, farm gates, and golf courses within easy reach. Both a sanctuary and a statement, it offers an extraordinary living experience for those drawn to refined seclusion and natural beauty. Connected to mains water.
