The captivating residence was inspired by the current owners’ family holidays around the Mediterranean coastline, engaging specialist Architect Rob Mills, Interior Designer Stuart Rattle and luxury builders VCON to realise a family sanctuary crafted with natural materials and thoughtfully composed to entertain children and grandchildren together in comfort by the sea.

“Blue Bay is arguably Sorrento or Portsea’s finest clifftop residence, positioned to overlook the crystal waters of Port Philip Bay, boating activity and taking in the vast coastline. A unique site of 3,336 square metres (approx.) including high water mark title to the beachfront below, only a handful of properties share such an exclusive luxury,” Liz Jensen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, family member Nick Browne said the residence was the last project of late interior designer Stuart Rattle, a close family friend.

“Stuart insisted on maintaining the utmost integrity to his design aspirations through to sourcing rugs from Turkey and fabrics from Italy.”

“This is a wonderful family property that has been enjoyed by three generations,” Nick told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Authenticity was of the utmost importance and my father spent many years sourcing authentic materials from Europe, most of which were hand made.”

“This includes terracotta roof tiles from Spain, salvaged vintage French stone from a residence in France, exterior Western Australian Limestone quarry cut to the façade, Swiss extrusion steel window and doors that were all custom designed and installed, marble bench tops sourced from Italy. This level of detail extended even to the home’s copper guttering and downpipes.”

Building work was done by VCON, one of Melbourne’s most prestigious construction companies.

“We had a very good relationship with the Morton Brothers from VCON, and their work showed incredible attention to detail and quality.”

For the timber ceiling and beams, an old carpenter was found to hand cut and build the work on site using traditional methods.
