Fingal retreat with magnesium pool for sale near Peninsula Hot Springs
A magnesium pool is a highlight of a chic retreat on the market, with proven potential to earn the owner cash on the side.
With a ‘rejuvenating’ magnesium pool that would rival those at the nearby Peninsula Hot Springs, this chic retreat offers the chance to live in the lap of luxury.
An attention-grabbing rusted steel facade ensures the abode at 12 Lahinch Drive, Fingal, could pass as a work of contemporary art.
Kay & Burton Flinders director Andrew Hines said the property’s style and architectural appeal set it apart from others on the market. It’s listed with a $2m-$2.2m price guide.

Corten steel sheets, timber slats and steel beams come together to create the eye-catching sculptural exterior.
And polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling glazed windows and more rusted steel form an edgy interior.
“The one thing about Fingal is it has got some very cool houses, but this is a standout,” Mr Hines said.
The solar and gas-heated magnesium pool is as good as those found at the best wellness retreats, with the chemical-free water gentler on sensitive skin and eyes.
The home’s listing describes the standout feature as “soothing, rejuvenating and environmentally friendly”.
The adjoining spa and sunken fire pit offer idyllic spots to soak in the dreamy landscape by day, or stare up at the stars by night.
Mr Hines said the residence was within easy reach of tourist hot spots including Sorrento, St Andrews Beach Brewery, wineries and the Peninsula Hot Springs.
Sitting within the exclusive Moonah Links Estate, it also has golf cart access to Moonah Links’ two championship golf courses.
Premium finishes – like the kitchen’s a handcrafted concrete bench, butler’s pantry and Smeg appliances concealed behind bi-fold doors – made it perfect for buyers seeking a full-time home.
Holiday makers could also use it as a part-time escape and rent it out as an income source.
“It could suit a family, it could suit a couple. It could suit someone who wants to use it as a holiday house some of the time and rent it out on Airbnb at other times. It has been leased on Airbnb and been very successful,” Mr Hines said.
The property has two main bedrooms with walk-in robes and ensuites, with one on each of the upper and lower levels.
There are three further bedrooms as well as a cleverly hidden study concealed behind wall panels to maintain the home’s streamlined aesthetic.
