Positioned on Mount Martha's breathtaking cliff-top, this beautiful coastal home offers a refined winter escape with uninterrupted, panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay. Set amongst established gardens on 1,210sqm, the property invites you to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the coastline in the cooler months—where dramatic skies and tranquil surroundings create a truly memorable stay.
The Space:
A split-level design and oversized picture windows are integral to the living experience, capturing ever-changing bay views while keeping interiors warm and inviting. Thoughtfully designed indoor-outdoor connectivity allows you to enjoy the scenery in comfort, with soaring ceilings and clerestory windows bringing in soft natural light throughout the day.
At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen—featuring a Smeg dishwasher, Westinghouse oven, and a servery—flows seamlessly into both formal and informal living areas. The casual family domain stretches toward the horizon, with expansive glass opening to a decked balcony overlooking the bay—perfect for crisp winter mornings or relaxed afternoons taking in the view.
Capture glowing winter sunsets and distant city lights from the bay-facing master suite, complete with retreat/study and semi-ensuite. Additional bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, complemented by a second bathroom and combined laundry for ease. Outside, landscaped stone-terraced gardens, a quaint cubby house, and multiple outdoor spaces provide peaceful areas to relax, while features such as an outdoor fireplace and ample parking enhance the overall experience.

The cliff top coastal sanctuary was absolutely amazing. The photos don’t give it justice on how beautiful this place is from the minute I booked this property from the time we left. The service was fantastic. The beds were comfy. The view was breathtaking. I’ve actually got no faults. That’s how much we enjoyed ourselves and we will definitely be booking again.
