Prickly Rocks’ raw beauty fulfills your craving for a unique Mornington Peninsula retreat. Make the most of the effortless connection to the sculptural coastline and vegetation in the envy-inducing outdoor zones, offering a children’s play area, sitting areas, pool and irresistible entertaining area. The robust, streamlined and generous interior is as engaging as the ocean outlook and with four-bedrooms and sun-catching living spaces, it is a family-friendly home. Plus, you’re only minutes from beaches, Blairgowrie shops and walking trails.
The full glamour of Prickly Rocks hides behind a concrete wall and emerges once through the enormous timber door. The timber and concrete exterior commands attention, not only because of its scale and simplicity, but for the way it engages with the rugged coastal surrounds. You’ll find countless ways embrace the stress-free lifestyle here. In the central courtyard is a pool that feels like an extension of the landscape. An outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and dining table is conveniently positioned so that relaxing atmosphere extends beyond a dip in the pool. You’ll also find manicured lawns and a trampoline, while a children’s play area sits off a covered dining and seating area near the entrance.
Three distinct wings boast the perfectly balanced elements of timber, concrete and glass, while carefully capturing the outlook. Looking into the courtyard and only steps away from the main house is a separate wing which houses two delicately styled bedrooms and a bathroom. A four-sided fireplace, concrete bench and expansive glazing is the focal point in the main living area. A neutral palette extends to the plush lounges, accentuating the calming atmosphere. On the other side of the fireplace is a beautifully crafted dining table, while a streamlined kitchen features an oversized concrete island bench. For relaxed family gatherings, you also have a separate cosy family room.
The master bedroom enjoys ocean views from its first floor, cantilevered positioned. Soak up the outlook in total luxury, from the fireplace, window seat, free-standing bath, generous shower and bespoke double vanity. On the ground level is another bathroom, while the fourth bedroom includes custom bunk beds and a deck. In fact, the beautiful landscape can be viewed from various private outdoor seating zones, while there’s plenty to explore beyond the main house.
The Area:
Make your way to the pristine coastline, which is a quick drive or around a 20-minute walk. Start at Dimmicks Beach – it’s best enjoyed for its rock pools and rock formations. Dip your toes in the ocean and continue along this spectacular section of The Coastal Walk. There are further walking trails to explore nearby, including in the Point Nepean National Park. Sample the local produce or grab a coffee in the seaside village of Blairgowrie, which is less than a 10-minute drive. Sorrento and Portsea are also within easy reach and Melbourne is around 90-minutes by car.
