With features ranging from a floodlit tennis court to a magnesium swimming pool and integrated technology inside and out, this Mornington property feels more like a resort than a home.
Spanning 2016sq m in the prestigious Saltwood Estate, the Woodhaven Rd property offers a leisure lifestyle, which the vendors, Paul and Kate Brady, were drawn to when they inspected it during the Covid pandemic.
“We first saw the house while Covid restrictions were in place; as soon as they were lifted, we did a five-minute inspection and fell in love with it,” Kate says.
“The house feels like a resort when you step out on to the back deck to the heated pool and tennis court.”
A standout is the pavilion with its own toilet and sink, which the tennis court and the pool share.

This Mornington property feels more like a resort than a home.
A standout is the pavilion with its own toilet and sink, which the tennis court and the pool share.
The property offers a leisure lifestyle.
“There is also a pond, gated entry, fruit trees and vegie garden along one full side of the house, plus a gated trailer/boat parking and shed,” Kate says.
Other features, including established gardens with automatic irrigation and Bluetooth-controlled lighting, add to the style while making the grounds easy to maintain.
The previous, original owners built the home six years ago.
“We loved the Hamptons style of the house, but also the mixing of individual features that made the house stand out as something special and unique,” Kate says.
“Mt Gambier Limestone, custom-sawn oak flooring, wood panelling throughout, statement lighting – the list goes on. It’s all different, but it all works beautifully together.”
The main living area has high ceilings and includes a gas fireplace and skylights. Double-glazed windows frame the gardens, and glass sliders open to the outdoor area, creating zoned living.
The estate has two dishwashers and the butler’s pantry.

The five-bedroom home is listed with a price guide between $3m-$3.2m.
But the vendors most appreciate the practical features.
“It has every practical feature you could ever want in a family home, including two dishwashers and an absolute tonne of storage, a huge laundry, and the butler’s pantry is a cook’s dream,” Kate says.
“The triple garage is also an added bonus for space and offers so many options for different purposes. Our son ran his business out of one side of the garage. We work together running our own business, and the house is perfectly set up for working from home.”
The floorplan caters to this, as well as large families, whether living in or using it as a “fantastic holiday property, with room for large groups”, Kate says.
“The individual wings of the house mean everyone can spread out in their own space.”
The five-bedroom home at 4 Woodhaven Road, Mornington, is listed for private sale by Homes & Acreage Balnarring agent Shaylee Sweetnam. Price expectations are between $3m-$3.2m.
