Set within one of the Great Ocean Road’s most coveted coastal enclaves, this Lorne retreat offers a refined yet relaxed escape where ocean air and forested surroundings define the experience. Positioned between the sea and the Otway hinterland, the home captures the essence of this iconic destination, where mornings begin with coastal light and days unfold between beach, bush, and town.

Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate larger groups while maintaining a sense of comfort and flow. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area serves as the heart of the home, where expansive windows and elevated positioning create a connection to the surrounding landscape. A beautifully appointed kitchen featuring premium Miele appliances and curated local provisions invites both casual meals and elevated entertaining.

Dining becomes an experience in itself, with a generous indoor table seating up to 14 guests, perfect for long, shared meals. This seamlessly extends to the undercover alfresco deck, where outdoor dining can be enjoyed year-round with heating for cooler evenings. The transition between indoor and outdoor living is effortless, encouraging connection and celebration in every space.

The home’s layout is designed with both togetherness and privacy in mind. Two distinct living areas allow guests to spread out comfortably, with a downstairs rumpus room providing a lively retreat for children and teens, complete with table tennis. Upstairs, the main living space offers a more relaxed setting for quiet moments, reading, or evenings by the fire.

Outdoors, the experience continues with expansive decks, a grassy backyard, and multiple spaces to unwind. The open fireplace and outdoor fire pit create inviting gathering points after a day at the beach, while the BBQ area is perfectly suited for casual entertaining. With Lorne’s beach, cafes, and scenic trails just moments away, this home offers a seamless blend of coastal lifestyle, comfort, and elevated design.
