Author:ahsan

A private beach has sold on the Mornington Peninsula.

Melbourne buyers have jumped at the chance to “own the sand” at a Mornington Peninsula dream home with its own private beach.

The rare offering with a beach on title at 2 Mentor Road, Balnarring Beach was quickly snapped up for an undisclosed price within its $4.5-$5m price guide.

“We had somebody through the first week of the listing and they eventually purchased the property,” said McEwing and Partners director Dean Phillips.

2 Mentor Rd, Balnarring Beach is part of an exclusive waterfront strip.

The property sold within its $4.5-$5m price guide.

“They went through the motions, over the little details and the contract, before eventually putting in an offer.”

It took 40 days for the four-bedroom home to transact, which Mr Phillips said was “short and sharp” considering the difficult selling environment in stage four lockdown.

The modern house is tucked away.

Live the dream with your own beach.

The Melbourne-based buyers, who Mr Phillips said were “businesspeople with plans to use it as a holiday home”, walked through the property just before a ban on private inspections was enforced.

He said there was plenty of interest in the exclusive address, which shared a street with just three other tightly held houses.

“I think in times like these, the idea of being able to walk along a beach that is right in front of your house appealed to a lot of people,” Mr Phillips said.

“The sellers also built the home beautifully.”

A modern kitchen has an apt beachy theme.

A pool adds extra outdoor appeal.

Outdoor entertainment doesn’t get much better.

He previously told the Herald Sun it was difficult to find private beaches for sale “anywhere in Australia”.

“A chance to own the sand on a private beach is the reality of what’s on title here,” Mr Phillips said.

“It’s a very unique offering with gorgeous views and absolutely no foot traffic nearby.”

The property was created by a builder and stylist.

The holiday haven was sold by a builder and a stylist, who added high-quality finishes, including a new kitchen with stone waterfall benchtops, a DeLonghi gas stove and coastal pendant light shades.

Other features included a north-facing living room with a fireplace and an upstairs theatre and games room.
