The Valley Retreat
Nestled between the rolling hills of the valley and the picturesque Johanna Beach, The Valley is the perfect escape for family gatherings and friends’ getaways. This expansive five-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers everything you need for a memorable stay.
Enter through the charming courtyard and step into a generous family room designed for relaxation. With a freestanding wood fire, a large smart TV with Foxtel, and plush leather couches seating up to 10 adults, this inviting space is perfect for unwinding together.
The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, featuring a grand Ceasarstone island bench and top-of-the-line appliances, including a 900mm electric cooktop, two Bosch ovens, two French door fridges, two dishwashers, and a Breville espresso machine. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious living and dining area, seamlessly connected to the outdoor entertaining zone.
Step through sliding doors onto the outdoor area, where you’ll find a handcrafted brick pizza oven, a large family gas BBQ, and a grassy lawn. This western-facing space is ideal for sunset dinners and memorable outdoor gatherings.
Inside, a wide central hallway leads to five spacious bedrooms and three modern bathrooms. The master suite features a split king-size bed, an ensuite with a shower and toilet, and private sliding door access to the deck with stunning views of Johanna Valley. The remaining bedrooms, each with a split king-size bed, share two additional bathrooms with shower, toilet, and vanity.
For the kids or a quiet retreat, enjoy a second living area with couches, bean bags, board games, and another smart TV with Foxtel. This space also includes a desk for any work needs.
A standout feature is the indoor heated communal swimming pool, available year-round and accessible from the courtyard. It’s a favorite spot for guests of all ages.
Location is key – The Valley offers a unique ‘walk off, walk on’ experience for those exploring the Great Ocean Walk, with direct access from Johanna Beach.
Additional highlights include a security camera at the front entrance for peace of mind, free Wi-Fi, a home office area, and access to a veggie garden and free-range eggs from the chicken shed.
