59 Ian Road, Mount Martha, Vic 3934

Cradled within the natural embrace of Sheoak Creek, where the leafy expanse meets the coastal allure of the bay, this dual-level retreat forges a seamless dialogue between architecture and landscape. Elevated yet enveloped in nature, it achieves a rare balance of tranquility and connection, poised just 800 metres from the water’s edge and a short drive to Mount Martha Village, esteemed schools and scenic walks. 

A soaring vaulted roofline amplifies the sense of space on the entry level, where hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and expansive glazing invite natural light and views inside. A well-maintained coastal palette, enriched by soft natural textures, defines the kitchen and living domain, with stone benchtops, a 900mm stainless steel Smeg stove, and a limestone-stacked gas fireplace setting the stage for both dynamic gatherings and relaxed family meals. Bifold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending to a wide merbau deck, bathed in northern light amid a canopy of lush trees and magnolias. 

Three robed bedrooms occupy the upper level, including a primary suite with a walk-through robe and ensuite, offering the added advantage of single floor living if desired. The main bathroom echoes the home’s refined aesthetic, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles and a stone vanity, while a flexible fourth bedroom adds potential as a home office. 
The ground floor unfolds as a private retreat, where a lounge extends to a second deck, perfectly positioned to overlook the firepit area for starlit gatherings. A spacious fifth bedroom with an adjoining powder room offers ideal guest accommodation or a secluded hideaway, while the sun-dappled lawn at the property’s base presents scope for a pool (STCA) or further customisation. 

A dual carport, under-house storage/workshop, hardwired security system, and abundant off-street parking add to the appeal of this distinguished 1,005 sqm (approx) residence that bridges the essence of a tree change with the magnetic pull of the coast.
