Not being able to jet off overseas for the foreseeable future will sting a lot less for whoever buys this private resort on the Mornington Peninsula.
A tennis court, infinity pool, spa, gym, home cinema, a hotel-style bedroom suite and multiple terraces offering spectacular bay views are all part of the package at 64 Bradford Road, Mount Martha.
“It would be a great place to be in lockdown,” Kay & Burton Flinders agent Meg Pell said.
“There are not a lot of reasons not to leave.”

The contemporary tri-level home on a sprawling 2063sq m block hit the market shortly after Melbourne’s stage four lockdown kicked in, with a $5.5-$5.95m price guide.
“We took the photos the day before stage four, and the owner decided (to list it as) people might have time to look online, which I thought was brave,” Ms Pell said.
Turns out the owner was right, with the property accruing more than 14,600 views on realestate.com.au so far, plus a queue of would-be buyers keen to tour the property when physical inspections are allowed again.
“I‘ve had so many inquiries,” Ms Pell said.
The vast majority had come from Melbourne-based househunters who had been spurred on by the COVID-19 crisis to shift somewhere with “space, fresh air and a nice lifestyle”.
“People have realised they can work from home,” she said.
“You’re only an hour from Melbourne here, so if you have to go into the office two days per week, you can. It’s the best of both worlds.”
Kay & Burton marketing for the house states that it “seemingly floats above a vista of panoramic bay views, from the Safety Beach shoreline to The Heads”, and “cascades down the block to showcase the spectacular vista” from all three levels that are connected by a lift.
The residence was designed by the award-winning Venn Architects to feature multiple living rooms, including a refined library and a Gold Class-style cinema.
The kitchen stands out with granite benchtops, a Falcon dual oven, a butler’s pantry and a suite of Miele appliances including a coffee machine and dual refrigerator.
The main bedroom occupies the entire top level and offers a stone ensuite with a freestanding bath, an integrated TV, a walk-in wardrobe and a balcony boasting “breathtaking views that make you feel like you’re waking up in a Mediterranean hotel”.
A six-car garage and coveted location near Mount Martha’s village and beaches complete the package.
