The newly-built home is positioned on more than two and a half acres (approximately 1.04 ha), defined by a fusion of inspired architecture, uncompromised design, indulgent natural materials, and smart-home technologies.

Exemplifying a design collaboration between DX Architects, Studio Griffiths and Cahill Builders, the property is soon to feature in Australian Grand Design magazine.

“This timeless black architectural farmhouse blends the best of country charm and coastal luxury just 6 minutes from the beach,” Chelsey Gibson told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Crafted with rammed earth and natural textures throughout, the home stands beautifully against its lush surroundings."

"It’s the perfect home for entertaining – large alfresco, pool house which opens out onto a shaded outdoor area with fireplace, infinity pool, tennis court which all enjoy a country aspect,” she explained.

“Soaring ceilings, large glass windows frame views of the rolling hills of an equestrian farm, perfectly orientated for sun drenched rooms and in winter the home transforms into a cozy retreat, with underfloor hydronic heating and a Cheminees cast iron fireplace.”

Hidden behind automated gates and dual driveways, the modern farmhouse sits within stunning landscaped gardens by Plume Studio.

The highly considered floorplan comprises three connecting wings plus a pool pavilion, sprawled over one level.

With five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three living areas, the home incorporates creative studio spaces and offers scope and adaptability for effortless generational living, entertaining, working-from-home, or guest hosting.

Gallery-like interiors feature polished plaster walls, European oak and polished concrete floors, and the tactile indulgence of leather-finish dolomite and honed marble which is cohesively-used throughout and seen in benches and countertops, bathroom basins and tubs.

The show-stopping main culinary space opens out to a kitchen garden and features an integrated gas hob, pop-up rangehood, two Liebherr integrated fridge/freezers and a Zip tap, while a mud room and luxe laundry with integrated appliances and a steam closet are designed to support the ease of family living.

The indulgences continued in the four-bedroom accommodation wing capped off with the main bedroom’s bathroom with a stone free-standing bath with rural outlooks and shower with soaring, angled skylight ceiling offering big sky views.

The outdoor leisure amenities include a fully-tiled infinity pool and 10-person spa that will soon feature on ‘Australia’s Best Pools’, a flood-lit mod-grass tennis court, and the self-contained indoor/outdoor pool pavilion with wood-fire heater, a luxuriously equipped marble kitchen/wet bar, a luxe bathroom and a 4-bed bunkhouse.

Additional luxuries include full smart-home technology with app-operated pool cleaning and heating, garden irrigation and lighting that allow for lock-up-and-leave capabilities.

There’s also an integrated Sonos sound system, rooftop solar panels, underfloor hydronic heating, a 30,000 litre water tank, four car garage with gym and a powder room.

Positioned in a semi-rural pocket of prime Mount Martha equestrian country, it’s around an hour’s drive to the CBD and just five minutes to Mornington Main Street, Mount Martha Village, Benton Square shops, and beaches, with easy Peninsula freeway access.
