Mt Martha: Cambio Al Mar mansion offers a sea-change opposite The Pillars swim spot

Named Cambio Al Mar, the property at 413-414 Esplanade, Mt Martha, features a Mediterranean-inspired garden.

Visitors to the Mornington Peninsula mansion Cambio Al Mar step into a dreamy sea-change reminiscent of Italy and the south of France.

The Mt Martha house’s Spanish name translates to “change to the sea’’ – which is fitting given its Port Phillip Bay views, Mediterranean-inspired gardens planted with palm trees and the resort-style swimming pool and spa.

Set on 3304sq m, the home at 413-414 Esplanade is for sale with $17m-$18.5m price hopes.

If the residence sells for this amount it will almost double the suburb’s $9.5m house price record set by 1 Ian Rd in 2020, according to public records.

Marshall White Flinders and Mt Eliza director Stephen Baster says Cambio Al Mar’s location across from a popular local swimming spot known as the The Pillars is a highlight, along with the pool house’s rooftop.

Here, a terrace offers uninterrupted views across the water to the Melbourne city skyline.

“The balcony has a beautiful outlook over the pool and spa and a very impressive pool with a deck above it as well, it’s a great place to hang out in summer,” Mr Baster said.

“You feel like you could be in the south of France or Italy.”

Cambio Al Mar is set on a 3304sq m block which includes an in-ground trampoline.

Inside the rather impressive pool house …

… and an exterior view of the waterside spot.

About five years ago, the owners set about transforming the mansion in a process that took some 12 months.

“They have rebuilt the whole place and fully renovated,” Mr Baster said.

Automatic gates lead to the house where the main living and dining space has floor-to-ceiling doors that open to a curved balcony from where the guests can watch passing ships and sunsets.

Clerestory windows fitted with automated blinds, a gas log fireplace and glass-fronted, temperature-controlled wine storage area feature inside.

In the main house’s kitchen, there’s stone benchtops, a Falcon freestanding cooker and a butler’s pantry.

France? Italy? No, you’re in Mt Martha.

The flooring incorporates imported porcelain tiling, bleached engineered oak and wool loop pile carpets.

The kitchen is fitted with tone benchtops, a Falcon freestanding cooker and butler’s pantry.

In the main bedroom suite there’s a walk-in wardrobe, dressing room and an ensuite with a freestanding stone bath, twin vanities and shower.

The house is located opposite a popular swimming spot named The Pillars.

The property has a total of five bathrooms including an ensuite with a freestanding stone bath tub, twin vanities and a shower.

Also outside is the tiled swimming pool and pool house with a Calacatta marble-fitted kitchen,

Mr Baster said buyers from Asia and Europe had inquired about the property.
