Just listed with Kay & Burton Flinders agents Sasha Romensky and Tom Barr Smith, the unique coastal retreat at the southernmost tip of the Mornington Peninsula has a price guide of between $5.5 million and $6 million.
Winner of the prestigious Robin Boyd Award in 2000, this bold architectural landmark was created for prominent graphic designer Garry Emery, founder of Melbourne-based EmeryStudio, which shut in 2016.
Unsurprisingly, the Peninsula weekender of a prominent creative mind cuts a striking asymmetrical figure within its soft bush setting inside the gated National Estate surrounded by the Cape Schanck Golf Course.
Crafted from concrete, glass, and stainless steel, the designer home starkly contrasts its natural environment and the rolling fairways of the golfing green.
Known for their highly contemporary creations, Denton Corker Marshall have been behind an eclectic collection of commercial projects including the Stonehenge Exhibition and Visitor Centre in the UK, the Australian Pavilion in Venice as well as the Anzac Hall and Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
The four-bedroom two-storey house is essentially two rectangular boxes, one perched atop the other, with the upper level rising above the tree tops.
As essentially one free-flowing space, the upper floor hosts the combined living and dining room with a suspended steel hearth wood-burning fireplace.
At its heart, a sleek modern kitchen features a long freestanding island bench, stainless steel surfaces and hidden appliances behind contrasting warm timber cabinetry to promote a sense of minimalism.
The main bedroom on the same level has an ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe plus an elevated centre stage position overlooking the land and out to the ocean.
Downstairs, via a glass-encased, polished concrete staircase, two more bedrooms feature strategically placed angled windows capturing water views.
These rooms with built-ins share a full bathroom and laundry while a separate self-contained studio space with a bathroom and kitchenette, built-in cabinetry, workstations, and a communal meeting area, making it an inspired home office or a guest suite.
Enveloped by more than 4000sq m of lush landscape, the property’s low maintenance grounds feature established native trees and low lying shrubs allowing for the panoramic ocean and gold course views.
Fingal and Gunnamatta beaches are close by, and the 100km Mornington Peninsula Walk or the shorter Two Bays Walking Track or Coastal Walk, offer locals an alternative way to witness the wild ocean coastline and Cape Schanck Lighthouse.
The house is about 72km from Melbourne’s CBD and about 15kms from the townships of St Andrews Beach and Flinders.
Emery Residence at Cape Schanck is listed with a price guide of $5.5 million to $6 million through Kay & Burton Flinders agents Sasha Romensky and Tom Barr Smith.

The 7,145-square-foot apartment, with European-inspired interiors, hasn’t traded hands since it was built in 2008.

A Denver condo that hit the market earlier this week for $16 million is now the Mile High City’s most expensive listing.
The new listing by far beats the next-priciest home for sale, a condo in a new development that was put on the market at the beginning of the year for about $9.79 million.
The city’s most expensive single-family home is asking just shy of $9 million—the metro area’s priciest single-family homes tend to be in the Cherry Hills Village suburb.
At 7,145 square feet, the newly listed unit is nearly double the size of the one in the new development and more on par with the size of some of Denver’s most expensive single-family homes.
It’s on the top floor of a seven-story mixed-use building that was built in 2008 in the Cherry Creek neighbourhood, one of the most affluent areas of the city.
The last time the three-bedroom apartment sold was before it was even completed, though it’s been owned under a few different LLCs and trusts.
The seller, who Mansion Global wasn’t able to identify, bought the condo from the developer in September 2007 for $4.047 million, records show.
The design of the interiors is European-inspired, with decorative columns, elaborate millwork and ornate built-ins.
Plus, there’s a mahogany-clad study, a formal dining room that seats up to 30 guests and views of mountains and Denver Country Club’s golf course.
A private terrace adds 1,230 square feet of outdoor living space and features a fireplace and a built-in barbecue, according to the listing with Josh Behr of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
A representative for Behr didn’t respond to a request for comment.
