Menzies Creek
Stately "Cardinia Lodge" on over 6000m2 of mature gardens and breathtaking views
Built In an era where the quality of the builder and the proportions of the home were paramount. "Cardinia Lodge" was commissioned and built dwarfing the original cottage that stood on the property and still stands today. The original cottage is now a wing of the home affectionately known as the "maids quarters" with a humble bathroom, lounge, laundry and its own external access. The second wing to the residence houses 2 bedrooms (or bedroom and loungeroom), bathroom and it's own external access. Clearly designed for afluent guests to visit from town and stay for the night or the weekend, these 2 "wings to the home make it the ideal city escape or retirement property for those that frequently entertain.
The main body of the residence is made up of the ballroom sized living area with a dining area that could hold a table that seats 20+ guests or even a reception??? Up the magnificent timber staircase with timber and balusters from the old Menzies Hotel is the enormous master bedroom with ensuite and access to the balcony. Large picture windows take in the garden vistas and "avenues" of views to Western Port & Port Phillip Bay. The study, or Den as it was once known, also boasts access to the wide balcony and enjoys similar views with slightly different angles of this everchanging view. The final room on the first floor is another large bedroom and ensuite, bringing the total to 4 or 5 plus the den and 4
bathrooms, 2 of which are ensuites.
The grounds are a sea or colour all year round with something always in bloom including 15 foot Rhododendrons and Camellias to only name a few. Cardinia Lodge is host to a gardeners heaven, ever changing and always brilliant!
The original stables are also still on the property and serve as a reminder that in its day the property was part of a much larger rural holding.
"Cardinia Lodge" is a jewel in the crown, and one of a select number of properties in the Dandenong Ranges that is steeped in local history and a true opportunity in every sense of the word that comes around but once in a lifetime. The current owners of Cardinia Lodge are seeking new custodians.
