61 Bulldog Creek Road, Merricks North, Vic 3926

Beautifully situated in indigenous bush encircling a picturesque 100 year old lake, this unique property offers unparalleled peace and privacy on 47 untouched acres (approx.).
 
Creating an enduring impression, with sunlight through the towering trees and water birds gliding gracefully across the lake, the restful, restorative environs are unforgettable in their appeal.
 
Meandering past the charming two bedroom Treehouse, a long driveway introduces the main residence, where an expansive timber deck abuts the lake and forges an unforgettable indoor/outdoor flow, with extensive glass framing the picture-perfect vistas at every opportunity.
 
Crafted from an earthy blend of timber and corrugated iron to blend harmoniously into its bush surrounds, the pavilion style home embraces the textural charm of timber and concrete throughout an open plan kitchen, living and dining, enhanced by a Cheminees Philippe fireplace and introducing multiple access points to the partially covered deck. 
 
A second living zone with customised study space is highlighted by a wall of sliding windows intensifying the vistas,  also fully enjoyed from the master bedroom with WIR and adjoining bathroom, with two additional bedrooms sharing a second bathroom.
 
A separate studio or home office is accessed by an external staircase and elevated above the tranquil lake and bushland outlook.
 
Mirroring the simple aesthetic of the main residence to avoid distraction from its bush outlook, the separate two bedroom Treehouse cottage focuses on a deep connection to its lakeside surrounds, with charming open plan kitchen, dining and living spilling onto the deck and private jetty beyond.
 
Five acres of cleared land is divided into three paddocks with post and rail fencing and established vegie gardens, while a massive machinery shed with workshop houses a honey processing room, wine cellar and abundant storage.
 
Recognised as one of the most significant ecological holdings on the Mornington Peninsula, this unique property is home to abundant wildlife including several species of ducks, visiting koalas, kangaroos and echidnas, a pair of Powerful owls and a plethora of other native species, while century old trees provide a safe haven for a vast array of birds.
 
Spellbinding in its seclusion yet within easy reach of shops, beaches and Peninsula Link, the pure enchantment of this unforgettable property lingers long after you leave, with rarely experienced restful and restorative appeal.
