If you’re looking for a sleek home or stylish weekender with both ocean and river views where you can soak up the surfy holiday vibe of the Bellarine Peninsula, your ideal place may have just come to market.
The near-new house at 57 The Terrace, Ocean Grove, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, is the creation of Michael and Eliza Leake of ML Constructions, which has built multiple high-end properties across the Bellarine Peninsula and along the Great Ocean Road.

Michael says he loves seeing luxurious beach and coastal homes come to life.
“I love natural materials like timbers and metals, so we’ve used a lot of those in this property, and it’s just a beautiful site,” he said.
“This home is a great place for a family seeking a retreat, and we’ve accounted for different age groups, too. We have a lift, a pool for the kids, and separate quarters for mum and dad when the kids get a bit noisy, as well as two living areas.”
A contemporary, spacious, and elegant home, it features a rear north aspect that welcomes sunlight to the outdoor entertaining space, and high-end design in the finishes.
The home opens on the ground level, where there’s a self-contained bedroom/office with a private ensuite. Upstairs, a bright open plan living zone with full-height windows and balcony takes in the views, while an open fireplace sets the tone for cosy winter evenings.
There’s also a marble kitchen with Miele appliances and butler’s pantry, and four more bedrooms, including a master with his and hers walk-in robes, plus a rumpus.
The house wraps a secluded covered alfresco terrace that overlooks a self-cleaning pool and sundeck surrounded by landscaped garden beds.
Additional features include wide-board oak flooring in the living areas and wool carpets in bedrooms, underfloor heating, 17kW rooftop solar power, zoned air-conditioning, a Sonos sound system, and a 32A electric-vehicle charge point in the four-car garage, which boasts an epoxy floor finish.
Agent Christian Bartley at Bellarine Property described the residence as “absolutely exquisite and positioned in a tremendous location”.
“From the moment you enter through the curved entryway, climb the stairs under the round skylights, and turn left to take in the blue of the ocean, the home exudes warmth and presents a fabulous opportunity for a lucky buyer,” he said.
“It’s a very spacious house and very well-equipped; there’s not much it doesn’t have.”
The location is also highly practical, being just a stroll to both the shopping centre and the beach.
But you need deep pockets. The property has a guide price of $4.5m-$4.9m, well above Ocean Grove’s median house price of $955,000.
Mr Bartley said there’s been considerable interest in the property.
“While other properties may have similar price tags, when you consider all that this home provides, nothing else comes close.”
