3 Gilbert Street, Kilcunda VIC 3995

There are homes that simply provide a place to live, and then there are homes that inspire. Perfectly positioned in one of Kilcunda’s most tightly held and prestigious pockets, known as The Bluff, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers a lifestyle defined by comfort, tranquillity, breathtaking scenery, and connection to wildlife and the coast.

First to capture your heart will be the coastline views to the east, available from a second-storey living area with expansive entertaining deck that surrounds the entire house.

Equally captivating is the home’s peaceful location. Renowned for its spectacular coastal walks and unspoilt natural beauty, the prized locale offers an enviable balance of seclusion and convenience, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while remaining within easy reach of everything the local village has to offer – including the Kilcunda Hotel, the general store and The Sticks precinct (with café and discount chemist). For all your other lifestyle needs, the burgeoning Wonthaggi township is a short drive away.

But with a cleverly designed fold-away office included in the package, you might rarely wish to leave home – especially given the abundant natural light, the views from your desk and the comforts of a split-system air conditioner and efficient log fire.

For those moments of private contemplation and recharge, a distinctive open-plan bed/bathing arrangement features a luxurious European ‘Cristalplant’ bath and heated towel rail, with 3-panel bifold doors opening the space completely to the fresh sea air.

Adding another layer of appeal is the calm sanctuary of the property’s surrounding established gardens, viewed from every room in the house. Fancy an abundant crop of olives?
