Maison de la Mer, the sprawling Red Hill estate of ex-Collingwood footballer Vaughan Ellis and his wife Sue, has been put on the market for the very first time. 

The 101sqm French provincial inspired home sits on six acres at 60 Sheehans Road on Victoria's Mornington Penninsula. The couple is seeking interest in excess of $5.25 million for their property.

Ellis was a ruckman for Collingwood in the late 60s, and went on to play VFL for Frankston and Dandenong. He has been involved in property development for many years and he and his wife are planning on relocating to a larger property on the Mornington Peninsula.

The three level house features five bedrooms, a cinema, formal lounge and dining rooms and a huge central family/living zone. The majority of rooms in the house look across the pool and spa to the extensive landscaped gardens, and enjoy views across Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne CBD skyline.

The property has a barn for six cars, and a dam with endless bore water and is undoubtedly one of the Mornington Peninsula’s finest properties, on the market for the very first time.

The home is for private sale and inspections are strictly by appointment through Justin Follett at Follett & Co. (0405 996 822) or Rollo Moore at Kay & Burton (0418 336 152).
