SundayMy good friend Lynne in Perth shares my obsession with house-hunting and dreaming of places in the country or by the sea. She often sends me fantastic houses that she has found, and these two beach houses are the latest. Both amazing in their different ways, which do you prefer (if you had to choose one!)?
The first one is very ‘Hamptons’, in Somers, Vic, and is situated right on the beach:
Amazing right?
The second house is in Lorne, Vic, and is just as impressive but quite different. Rather than being on the beach, it’s situated in the mountains overlooking the water. It also has more of a French Provincial feel rather than the feel of a ‘beach house’. The things I love about this house (aside from the obvious!), are that it feels private and secluded, and really warm and cosy as well as being filled with light. You know I love a house on a hilltop!
Look at that floor and ceiling! What a dream!
So, if you were in the unfortunate position of having to choose between these two amazing homes, which would you pick?
(I think they are both still for sale)

Someone has excellent taste. Shame she doesn’t have the bank account to match. Delighted you and your readers love the homes, how couldn’t you?? We shall keep looking and dreaming Naomi. xx
Well, its the beach house for me definitely! I just cant get enough of that “Hamptons” look. If i lived there i dont think i would ever want to go out – mmm, cant think of a better place to become a hermit!
Hi Tracey, I’m a bit of a homebody already, so I completely agree with you!
I’d love to be able to walk out my door and be on the beach…fabulous indeed! Danella x
How to choose?! I think I’d go with the mountain views. I agree the timber floors are amazing, and those huge rooms! Love the french style influences too.
Wow, the Somers house is quite something isn’t it?! Oh how I would love to be the new owner…fabulous! Annie x.
Hi Annie, oh yes, me too! Some people are so lucky! xNaomi
Amazing! I love both houses and I’d have a hard time choosing one….the one in the mountains has a great view but I think I’d have to go with the house right on the beach. And with a pool as well, talk about spoiled! Lovely
Hi Tanya, you’re right about being spoiled for choice with a pool and then a few metres beyond, the sea! Thanks for stopping by! xNaomi
