Mosspennock (Circa 1877)


Where the elegance of yesteryear meets contemporary Mediterranean style, this landmark limestone Sorrento residence set directly opposite the beach, is a triumph of design, craftsmanship, and coastal luxury.


Meticulously renovated and extended over many years by ALT Constructions, every element has been thoughtfully considered and beautifully executed with a deep respect for the past yet elevated with all the modern inclusions you would expect, and more. With sweeping bay views, expansive entertaining zones, elegant accommodation, and a prized AAA location, this is a home of rare character and refined sophistication perfect for hosting family and friends year-round.


Sweeping bay views frame the expansive open plan domain, where the kitchen, dining and lounge connect in one harmonious space. The chef’s kitchen, appointed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, forms the centrepiece and is complemented by a butler’s pantry and bar that open to the dining area. A Stoke gas fireplace adds warmth and ambience, while extensive north facing glazing extends to the main deck, creating a seamless connection for relaxed coastal living and entertaining.


Set within the original limestone walls, the main bedroom and ensuite fuse heritage character with refined modern comfort. High ceilings, ornate cornices and a restored fireplace define the room, while a reading nook bathed in natural light from the bay windows enhances the sense of calm. The adjoining ensuite continues the timeless aesthetic with original limestone, sculpted curved forms and a warm neutral palette, creating a tranquil retreat that beautifully balances old and new. A conveniently positioned walk in robe and dressing room opposite the ensuite completes the private haven.


Three additional character filled bedrooms within the original residence are serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Completing the accommodation, a private guest wing with a large bedroom with lounge area and ensuite is linked to the original home by a glass lined corridor that incorporates the gym, an additional bathroom and the laundry. The second living room, defined by a striking limestone feature wall, includes a viewing window to the home’s original water well, now transformed into the wine cellar, and enjoys an outlook across the pool domain.


The alfresco zone embodies a relaxed Mediterranean resort aesthetic, where arched colonnades, white rendered walls and a sparkling pool with spa create a seamless connection between indoors and out. Designed equally for entertaining and relaxation, it features an impressive outdoor kitchen with built in barbecue, bar fridges and a Sonos sound system, complemented by inviting lounge areas and a dining space that captures views of both the bay and the pool combining to evoke a sense of holiday indulgence at home.


This is more than a home; it is a rare convergence of history, design and coastal sophistication, a place where the past is cherished and modern life unfolds with effortless elegance for generations to come.
