Fresh from completing an exemplary renovation on her Mornington Peninsula holiday home, businesswoman Bec Judd has announced their “Arthurs Seat beauty” is about to hit the market. “Exciting times ahead as we have a new project in the works,” she shared.
A seasoned renovator, Bec and her AFL legend husband, Chris Judd, snapped up the block in Main Ridge, near Arthurs Seat, around a decade ago. But it’s only now, after years of planning and a full-scale transformation, that the couple is ready to part ways with their coastal retreat. Purchased for $1.2 million in 2016, the revamped property is now expected to fetch between $2.9 and $3 million.
In December 2024, Bec unveiled the stunning “country ranch” on social media with interiors by her own design studio, RJ Home. “Arthurs Seat is complete. A huge thank you to my epic team and partners for pushing so hard to get this done in record time,” she said at the time. And what a transformation it is.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom retreat is a far cry from the modest, uninspiring brick home that once stood in its place. The kitchen alone is a showstopper, with Bec calling it “the kitchen of my dreams”. But her signature modern aesthetic is evident throughout, from the stylish interiors to the carefully curated finishes.
Outside, the landscaping is just as jaw-dropping. Working alongside Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture and The Melbourne Builder, Bec has ensured the property’s natural beauty takes centre stage. A sprawling alfresco entertaining area and a circular plunge pool complete the picture, creating a luxurious yet relaxed escape.
The buzz around the sale is already in full swing, with Marshall White Stonnington director Ben Vieth leading the campaign. Teasing the listing, he described it as one to watch. “I have one of the most special listings coming soon,” he said.
The agent also highlighted the home’s enviable location, nestled among some of the country’s best beaches and wineries. “It’s literally a compound which you turn up to on the weekend and it has everything,” he enthused. “You’ve got landscaped gardens, pool, pavilion, you’ve got a lake, you’ve got a dam. [It’s] completely private, there is no house in sight.”
With Bec’s track record for nailing high-end finishes and the hype already swirling, it won’t be long before this beauty finds a new owner. Stay tuned.
