Merricks North 4 Junction Road

In a setting usually reserved for high end glossy magazines or seen on the silver screen, Jacks Ridge, an exemplary property of approximately 45 acres, sits high on a ridge in the heart of the lush and beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Not just a pretty place, it offers an amazing lifestyle, part vineyards, part cattle grazing, part natural bushlands and part beautifully designed and maintained gardens and is presided over by a stunning main residence supplemented by separate first class guest accommodation.

The home itself is a craftsman built showpiece, light, bright and airy with towering ceilings and a wide perimeter verandah. It is a home designed for both interior and alfresco entertaining where the boundary between inside and out tends to fade against a backdrop of rolling hills and distant views to Port Phillip Bay. Impeccably maintained, the weatherboard and locally sourced stone home features 4 bedrooms, a home office, one generous living area and an open kitchen with scullery and laundry, all drawn together by a predominantly light palette, abundant natural daylight, quality fittings throughout and large helpings of excellent taste and design know how.

The guest accommodation, fondly known as "The Barn" is an intriguing mix of human and vehicular accommodation, needing to be seen to be fully comprehended. Once again, in an arrangement of design expertise, it comprises a large open plan living space, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs sleeping quarters, drive-in space for several cars or boat/caravan/motor bikes etc., workshop, secure storage and further garage/storage.

The amazing garden consists of numerous elements which come together in a delightful cohesion surrounding the homestead, between vineyards of Chardonnay on one side and Pinot Noir on the other. Well thought out plantings provide year round interest, colour and shade. An arbour constructed from reclaimed bridge timber and clothed in Ornamental grape, clusters of delicate Silver Birch, a lavender parterre edged with English box, a walled vegetable garden, a fountain and pond, a perennial garden and so many more delights are to be found in this magnificent garden for all seasons.

The property is situated on 2 titles and has an underground water tank of 100,000 litre capacity for domestic use and 3 dams hold a huge 24 million litres in total. There is a croquet lawn, golf green, a de-luxe child's cubby house and an under house cellar.... something for everyone.

Jacks Ridge was created by its owners with design flair, imagination, determination, sweat and loads of love, resulting in an exceptional property which is now ready to be passed on to the next owners to treasure and enjoy just as much during their allotted stay in this truly outstanding home.
