Abutting the Mornington Peninsula National Park coastal reserve, nestles the unique architecture of “Casa Duna”, capturing the essence of the Wild Coast. Completed in 2021 this home represents the best of design and energy efficiency. A 10 star Passiv Haus built with precision and attention to detail by a German carpenter. Four bedrooms and two living spaces provide flexibility and function for the whole family. The two large interior bathrooms are complemented by 2 outdoor hot showers and a private outdoor bath underneath the trees.

The main floor welcomes you with open plan living. Spotted gum timber floors throughout and birch ply cladding, provide a sense of strength and serenity 365 days of the year. The open plan kitchen, living and dining area, with huge sliding doors opening to the spotted gum deck make the connection to nature seamless – opening the house from pool to dunes. The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with a 700mm SMEG oven and induction cooktop and Asko dishwasher. The huge bench provides ample space for food preparation and entertaining alike.

Also, on the ground floor lies the master bedroom where you’ll wake with the sound of the waves and a view of the dunes, ensuite, separate laundry, second bedroom and main bathroom with a door connecting directly to the pool deck. The bathrooms are finished in low maintenance venetian render, timber floor slats and Brosa tapware.

Upstairs, the sense of space you feel below is replaced by a cosiness and warmth with two private rooms and a living area opening to below. These adaptable spaces provide flexibility to make this home suit your needs. Currently a bouldering wall features in the far room.

A reverse cycle system provides heating and cooling, but due to the thermal properties of the house, is rarely needed. A heat recovery ventilation unit (HRV) maintains a constant temperature over the four seasons.

Outside is both an entertainers and adventurer’s wonderland. A marine grade 316 steel Artusi BBQ and outdoor sink sit on a concrete benchtop, with an outdoor dining nook nestled behind.

A solar heated (German system) 20m lap pool melts into the north garden bed. To the south lies a landscaped lawn where you can watch the sunset over the dunes. Below the retaining wall you will find the outdoor bathroom and inground Olympic-elite trampoline. Raised circular veggie garden beds with automated watering system and fully secure chook shed complete the garden.

A private track leads 300m to “Snatches”, one of the Peninsula’s hidden surf gems. A generous 3813m2 approx open woodland setting provides absolute privacy.

This house is unique for the Peninsula with its combination of incredible architecture, private access to surf, walking distance to the Dundas Street shops on a dead end street. You won’t find another property like this and once you arrive, you won’t ever want to leave.
