Introducing the Glenaire Cheese Factory as it’s never been seen before. Located in the tightly held hamlet of Glenaire, on the iconic Great Ocean Road – this property offers the best of coastal and country living.
Something quite remarkable has been meticulously undertaken over many years by creative owners, who have curated what can only be described as astounding. No stone has been left unturned when it comes to the detail in design, with high-end fixtures and fittings sourced from around the world and meshing perfectly to complement the character of this exceptional property.
This home offers exceptional privacy with high walls and double glazing, nestled in a quiet area that exudes charm and tranquility. History is woven into the structure, with original timber doors throughout and robust 6-inch concrete walls that are now insulated and rendered, blending classic character with contemporary comfort. Stepping inside, you’ll sense a distinct European ambiance and modern Mediterranean influence. The landscaped, provincial-style coastal garden invites you to relax on a travertine stone patio framed by elegant Florentine urns, raised herb beds, a fragrant rose garden, and ornamental trellised vines.
Inside there is no shortage of inspiration. Soaring vaulted ceilings give way to an open-plan, light filled space which features double glazed windows and French doors which bring the outside landscape in. Venetian stucco walls complement the history of the home and lend to the modern adaption of the space including a large kitchen with European appliances, Stone Italiana benchtops and antique mirror glass splashback.
A built-in Cheminees Philippe fireplace anchors the spacious lounge and living area which is overlooked by the mezzanine library/study area, and allows the full spectacle of this home to reveal itself.
With two spacious bedrooms, and the flexibility of a third, this property exhibits style with substance, providing great thermal mass allowing comfort in the summer months, and warmth in the winter with the addition of slab heating in the polished concrete floor. This property is ideal as a permanent residence or as a beautiful coastal retreat and provides a rare opportunity given the property has been with one family since 1909.
The addition of a separate spacious studio building provides options for the new owners, currently used as an office and store, this versatile space offers a delightful aspect and has its own potbelly wood burner and large separate storeroom space.
On the doorstep of Castle Cove and the Aire River Estuary and only moments from the famous Great Ocean Walk and Johanna Beach this property is in the perfect position for lovers of nature, the ocean and serenity. If you are looking for something exceptional, you need look no further.
