Listing Id: R2-4760757

Bedrooms: 4    Bathrooms: 3    Garages: 2

Land

Size: 14.00 Acre Approx

Description: Crowes Nest is a coastal sanctuary with breathtaking views to the Southern Ocean and westward towards the Twelve Apostles. This Otways property is perched on the ridge 450 metres above Johanna and just 4 km from the village of Lavers Hill. The Old Ocean Road winds through its 14 acres of paddocks, rainforest gullies, and spring-fed dams—all within one of Victoria's most prized natural corridors.

The modernist main house, designed by an architect at award-winning studio Pleysier Perkins, blends harmoniously with the lush Otway's environment and has views from every window. The home, constructed by Prebuilt and installed with precision, delivers refined functionality with three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an ensuite for the master), two living areas (one with open fire), and a mudroom with laundry. Double glazing, full insulation, hydronic heating (remotely controlled), and robust infrastructure—mains power, plentiful tank water, and septic processing—ensure comfort in all seasons.

A second dwelling, affectionately known as The Humpy, is a charming studio, privately nestled 50 metres from the main house. With mains power, self-composting toilet, and tank gas, it is ideal for guest accommodation or family overflow.

Outdoors, a network of handcrafted paths and small bridges weaves through the creeks among the huge tree ferns and mature Blackwoods. Overlooking the secluded waters of the main dam is the 'Plazebo' - a small gazebo in which you can sit and watch the resident platypus!

A substantial garage/workshop houses all the necessary machinery, while a thriving blueberry and strawberry patch provides kilos of fruit every summer.

Crowes Nest (located in Crowes, near Melba Gully) offers the ideal balance of seclusion and access. Take a step outside to the pristine environment and you're transported to a gentler, less stressed time; at night, under a sky free from light pollution, you can see the flashing lighthouse on King Island. Yet the property is just over two hours from Melbourne via Colac and a three-minute drive to the local café for your morning coffee or to the fine-dining experience of the Perch restaurant. Not far away are Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, the Otway National Park, and the Shipwreck Coast.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home that places superb design and complete comfort in one of the most gorgeous and unspoilt environments in Victoria.
