For sale: 24 Birdrock Ave, Mount Martha.


Resort-style luxury meets beachside haven at this Mount Martha home within walking distance of the ocean.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom getaway at 24 Birdrock Ave, Mount Martha, has been immaculately designed to reflect the tranquillity of the Mornington Peninsula with the flexibility and “architectural flare” of modern living.

Designed by Wolveridge Architects and built by Ongarello, the property centres around a luxurious heated pool with two separate wings for privacy.

The striking home is a short walk from Birdrock Beach.


Dubbed the “Honey House” for its warm, caramel tones, the interior features timber-lined roofing and walls, paved stone floors and muted tones.

Four bedrooms provide ample room for family living or enough space to enjoy while on holiday.

The outside offers a pristine pool to relax by, a spa and an outdoor shower with beautifully landscaped terrace and greenery by Bethany Williamson.

Walimont and Nutt director Trent Cameron said the yet-to-be-lived-in home was the “masterpiece” in a string of four properties the builder has developed.

It’s listed for sale with $3.65m to $3.85m price hopes.

“The detail of the finish by the builder – they have done an outstanding job,” Mr Cameron says.

The main kitchen and dining area is connected outdoors and is stacked with features such as a built-in butler’s pantry.


Natural surfaces such as travertine crazy paving and Tasmanian oak lined ceilings and joinery feature throughout the home.


“I love that area with the skylight at the front of the home. It’s also got a totally separate set up for guests with its own entrance and ensuite.

“Outside, you’ve got a pool, a spa, which you would use a lot in winter.

“And at the end of that street there’s a beautiful beach – it’s literally 30 to 40 metres and you’re at the beach.”

And while the house has only been on market for a couple of weeks, interest has, unsurprisingly, been strong.

“The majority of interested buyers we’ve seen so far have been a mix of local and city buyers – families and also people who are looking to downsize from Melbourne and end up retiring down here,” Mr Cameron says.

The vaulted ceiling in the main living zone enhances the sense of space.

He added that Mount Martha, perfectly positioned between the city and the coast, had the best of both worlds.

“We’re still finding people are moving out of Melbourne to get out of the city,” he says.

“Some people are moving from holiday homes in Sorrento. (They’ve realised) we’re closer to the city … and we’ve got better beaches.”

Mr Cameron expects interest in the area to continue, especially if the expected rate cut in May occurs.

“I think it’s going to pick up and be strong throughout the year,” he says.

Additional features of the property include a curved facade, wood fireplace, floor heating, Miele appliances and CCTV system.

The four-bedroom house is on the market with price hopes from $3.65m to $3.85m.
