Positioned along Kentucky Road in Merricks North, the home is set within a working vineyard environment surrounded by beautifully maintained vine rows. While the surrounding land is not for the exclusive use of the renter, the vineyard is professionally managed with periodic attendance as required. This arrangement allows residents to enjoy an authentic rural setting and an ever‑changing outlook across the vines, while maintaining privacy and a strong sense of seclusion within the home itself.
Located within one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most tightly held rural pockets, Merricks North is renowned for its tranquil farmland, world‑class wineries, and strong sense of community.
