Imagine a home that feels like a private Mediterranean retreat — would you ever leave? This remarkable residence on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula is a European-inspired oasis. Built in 1877, the heritage-listed facade has been preserved; but step inside and you’ll discover a bold reimagining of the original limestone cottage.

X-Bond Microcement is a standout feature, covering nearly every surface inside and out — from the floors and ceilings to walls, joinery, showers, and the entire pool.
