Inside the box house in Fingal, VIC, with a magnesium swimming pool like a hot spring

A modern mansion on the Victorian coast contains a ‘rejuvenating’ magnesium swimming pool that’s been likened to having a private hot spring in your own backyard. 

The avant garde five-bedroom in Fingal, on the Mornington Peninsula, 99 kilometres south of Melbourne, offers prospective buyers the chance to live in the ‘lap of luxury’ – provided you have at least $2million to spare.

Standout features of the lavish home on a 1,318 block include a luxury kitchen with a handcrafted concrete bench, three hotel-style bathrooms with seats in the showers, an outdoor spa and sunken firepit and an upstairs terrace that wraps around one side of the property.

The solar and gas heated swimming pool contains water so pure, it is said to rival that found in upscale wellness retreats including the nearby Mornington Peninsula Hot Springs.

But it will set you back a cool $2million (AUD)

No expense has been spared in finishing the interior with the finest details, from the polished concrete floors that run throughout the downstairs to the floor-to-ceiling windows found in almost every room.

Kay & Burton Flinders real estate director Andrew Hines told Daily Mail Australia the house’s unique style and architectural appeal sets it apart from others on the market.

Mr Hines has set a price guide of $2million to $2.5million (AUD), considerably higher than the region’s average house price which was $1.5million in 2020, according to sales figures from realestate.com.au.

Demand for houses in country Victoria and on the Mornington Peninsula has skyrocketed since the pandemic broke out in early 2020, as lockdown-weary Melburnians looking for a change of pace and respite from Covid restrictions continue to flee the city in droves.

‘There’s huge demand with a limited supply, and it’s pushed the median price way up over the past year or so,’ he said. 

A poll of 1,500 Victorians by research firm RedBridge found 36 percent of Melbourne residents would prefer to move to the countryside if their work allowed.

Six percent said they had already made the move, the Herald Sun reported, after five lockdowns in 18 months damaged the city’s reputation as one of the most ‘liveable’ places on Earth.

Interest in regional properties soared by 200 percent between 2020 and 2021, according to figures from realestate.com.au, with remote towns jumping to the top of pandemic-fatigued buyers’ wishlists.

Areas like Curlewis and Anglesea are said to be experiencing unprecedented demand which has accelerated prices by up to 10 percent per quarter in sought-after postcodes.
