Portsea

Showcasing all the exclusive grandeur for which Delgany Estate is renowned, upgraded with a suite of contemporary accoutrements, this spacious three-bedroom ground-floor apartment in the original castle bestows an enviable lifestyle for sea-changers or weekenders.

Designed by Harold Desbrowe Annear and built in 1923, the now Heritage-listed limestone castle blends gothic and medieval elements, encircled by glorious parklike communal gardens spanning 9 acres behind electronic gates in strolling distance to the beach and iconic Portsea Hotel. Exquisitely reimagined for modern living while losing none of its original charm with lofty ceilings, generous dimensions and a grand centrepiece fireplace in limestone masonry, the sprawling split-level floorplan provides a choice of two large living areas and two dining zones.

The culinary kitchen is superbly appointed with stone benchtops and a fleet of premium Miele appliances, while French doors open to a charming private courtyard terrace to dine outdoors with friends with your own private gate giving immediate access onto the greens of Portsea golf course. The oversized dimensions continue in the master suite, which boasts a walk-in robe, contemporary ensuite with step-in shower, tall sash windows framing the glorious setting and a second fireplace for toasty winter nights.

Just a short zip to Sorrento's bustling Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, Sorrento Golf Club, Point Nepean National Park, Portsea Surf Beach and countless other Mornington Peninsula spoils, this lock-and-leave property includes a powder room, security system, triple sub-level garage with a storage cage and direct access via the laundry to Castle Delgany's communal lounge area.

A rare slice of seaside Portsea surrounded by beaches, surf breaks and crystal coves, residents are privy to the estate's facilities, including a swimming pool and fully equipped gym.
