FOUR PINES ~ A full 180º of absolute bay frontage ~

• Bedrooms: 4

Every once in a long while, there is a property of such rare beauty
and distinction that it creates its own buzz. Such has always been the case with Four Pines, an elegant
white weatherboard that sits at the end of a private road in Mt Eliza.

Positioned on almost an acre of cliff top land with
uninterrupted 180º views over Port Phillip Bay and across to
the city skyline, Four Pines is remarkably quiet and secluded,
yet is still under an hour from the Melbourne CBD.

It makes sense that this is the property of Deborah Bartlett Pitt
who, after 25 years of writing up houses and gardens for Vogue
Living Magazine, knows special when she sees it.
“There’s no question that this is a magical place," Deborah says.
“In its bayside simplicity, it’s very Hamptons and Nantucket in its feel.
It faces north, has a clean and beautiful beach just down from the
garden, and we’ve had amazing summer evening parties with
bands and dancing on the deck".

“During the day, an electric awning can virtually cover the deck
for lingering lunches and to give us an extra room"
Four Pines’ Robert Boden-designed garden is a low maintenance
sweep of lawn, coastal planting, lavender, roses
and topiary olives that flank honey-hued walls of Coldstream
stone.
At the base of generous steps from the deck is a level
area designed for croquet; there is room for a pool and tennis
court in the garden.
Mature fruit trees and Camellias thrive behind the house,
where tank water provides irrigation when needed.

The approx. 80-year-old house itself is predominantly painted
crisp white against original, polished floorboards. Windows are
double glazed and either tilt or casement open fully to allow
summer breezes to sweep through, “and in winter, you can
be snug in a gale, cosied up to a fire and candles don’t even
flicker".

Almost all rooms of this remarkable property take full
advantage of the ever changing views.
Accommodation flows across two sitting areas, a gracious
and sunny dining room, TV room, timber kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

There is also a self-contained, two-bedroom cottage that is accessed via a
separate driveway and is perfect for resident caretakers or
guest accommodation.

“This property really does have it all," says Deborah Bartlett
Pitt. “It is the perfect family house but it’s also great for parties".

It’s a very friendly house with a rare atmosphere. Plus, it’s not
unusual to see dolphins from the sitting room; one year Deb
even spotted a whale!

A very rare opportunity for the one fortunate family.
