Sorrento time capsule estate with beachfront access hits the market

A grand estate, frozen in time in one of Victoria’s popular coastal towns, is on the market for the first time in decades.

The 11-bedroom property at 3206 Point Nepean Road in Sorrento comes with a price guide of between $9 million and $9.9 million. 

Selling agent Chris Cain of JA Cain told Domain the home has been owned by the same family for “a few decades”.

The stately turn of a century home sits on more than 2000 square metres and steps out onto the sands of Sorrento front beach on the Mornington Peninsula.

The impressive access includes an uninterrupted 41 metre frontage to nearby Sullivan Bay.

A glance through the listing photos shows an impressive interior with well appointed rooms.

There are many formal and informal living spaces, including separate sitting, lounge, dining and family rooms, across the expansive single level abode.

Four of the 11 bedrooms are on the beachside of the home, with the remaining seven bedrooms positioned down one side of the property.

The estate also has three bathrooms and enough space in the grounds for six cars.

Cain said unlike other beach homes in the area that are built on cliff faces, this property is said to be built on a flat block.

The listing confirms this.

“Further adding to the rarity is the supremely level block of land which means your first step off the property lands directly on to the sands of Sorrento front beach,” it reads.

As well as access to the beach front, the property is in close proximity to Sorrento village, Hotel Sorrento and the Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club.

“Undoubtedly, a property of a lifetime,” the listing adds.

The property has its first open inspection this weekend with expressions of interest being taken until April 1.
