John Mcleod probably would still recognize his home if he came sailing into Portland harbour today as his significant Georgian style mansion which he built in 1856 on a prominent bluff overlooking Portland Bay. Hardly changed from its original floor plan and only benefitting by extensive modernisation, restoration and detailed maintenance throughout its life, Maretimo today is nestled into 4.53 Ha (approx. 11.2 acres) of unique surrounding gardens and impressive established trees highlighting spectacular ocean views. With 22 rooms and 56 squares (approx 520 m2) of living there is scope for many uses (SCA), large hotel or B&B or a magnificent family home. Built of local bluestone with meticulously crafted block entrance walls giving an inviting front entrance. The woodwork inside the home is particularly fine with Australian cedar deep-recessed doors and elaborate fold back shuttered windows. The stunning cornice-work throughout has been described as perhaps the best of its kind in Victoria. The generosity of space is immediately apparent as you enter the front greeting hall from the surround verandah with a magnificent living room on either side both with marble fireplaces and vast windows capturing the bay. From there you enter the hallway giving access into the three main palatial bedrooms and two bathrooms, further on childrens nurseries and school room on one side and extra living, modern kitchen and dining on the other, upstairs mirrored on both wings are 3 living/bedrooms, all of which surround a bluestone paved central courtyard with a recently built laundry and extra bathroom. The separate self contained bluestone "cottage" renovated some time ago would make an excellent B&B or second dwelling. The main shed of 9x16 metres has 3 phase power and an irrigation bore servicing the extensive gardens, also a 9x12 metre semi enclosed carport ideal for caravans and boats. A spa room, extensive chook yard and large vege garden combined with a myriad of fruit trees compliment the garden. This property includes 5 Vacant lots as per the plan which are partially subdivided plus a seperate 1.2Ha triangular title adjoining the Eastern frontage. A very special property and a rare opportunity, for further information and appointed inspections call Max Dolman on 0419 442 141.
