2/14 Arkins Street, Point Lonsdale, Vic 3225

Mature trees cast shifting shade across the garden, brush fencing softens the boundaries, and the sound of the ocean carries through the air, there is a rare sense of retreat here, with the house almost absorbed into its established coastal surroundings. Yet within minutes, the day can move easily between the beach, village coffee, lunch with friends, tennis, golf or a long walk along Point Lonsdale’s beautiful shoreline trails.

Inside, the home has an appealing restraint. Timber framed windows and doors draw the greenery close, while two separate living areas give the three bedroom floorplan a flexibility that belies its easy scale. The open plan main living and dining room is warm and relaxed, anchored by a gas log fire and opening visually to the garden, with the central kitchen keeping entertaining and culinary artists connected.

The outdoor spaces are equally considered in their simplicity. The paved terrace sits beneath a canopy of established trees, creating private places to linger over lunch, read in the afternoon or settle in after the beach. The garden feels organic and secluded, with the kind of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the village and beaches.

For those looking to make Point Lonsdale a permanent part of their lifestyle, the appeal is broad. It offers an inviting first step into the area, an easy downsizing option, low maintenance weekender or a coastal base with potential for short stay accommodation STCA. More than anything, it offers the freedom to leave the car parked, follow the sound of the sea and live at the pace we do so well.
