Overview

An Architectural Jewel by the Sea

Extended and completely reimagined circa 2022, this breathtaking coastal sanctuary is a masterclass in design and detail-truly worthy of a Vogue Living spread. Every element, from the reconfigured layout to the impeccable finishes, has been conceived with artistic vision and flawless execution. Nestled just beyond the top of The Strand on the Port Elliot headland, this showstopping residence captures panoramic views across Green Bay, Granite Island, the Causeway, and as far as The Bluff at Encounter Bay. A location as rare as it is revered-tightly held and steeped in coastal charm. With its clean, modern white facade, timeless character of the stone cottage, and the beautifully landscaped garden crowned by a majestic Canary Palm, the street appeal is undeniable. A sustainable, undercover eco-deck welcomes you home, setting the tone for what lies within. Step inside to discover lime-washed engineered oak flooring flowing across both levels. The ground floor offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms-including a bespoke bunk room sure to delight children and guests-alongside designer bathrooms boasting custom 2-pack vanities with rattan shaker fronts, Caesarstone benches, and premium fittings. The main living room opens effortlessly via French doors and a sliding panel to both the front patio and rear deck, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Ascend the staircase and be immediately captivated by the soaring cathedral ceilings clad in VJ fibre cement-groove panelling, complemented by a stunning stone fireplace and a slow combustion heater that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-plan kitchen is a designer's dream: 2-pack shaker cabinetry, a show-stopping Caesarstone Calcutta Nuvo island and breakfast bar, brushed brass tapware, induction cooktop, and top-tier European appliances-all bathed in natural light thanks to overhead skylights. The upper-level master suite is a peaceful haven: light-filled and spacious, with a walk-through robe and an elegant ensuite featuring a Caesarstone vanity and a large double shower. A separate powder room serves guests with equal style. Two spacious decks extend from the main living area: one to the west for sensational sunsets and ocean views, and another to the north capturing vistas of Horseshoe Bay and Basham's Beach at Middleton. Exceptional Extras * Council-approved plans to convert the original stone cottage into a fully self-contained B&B * Plumbing and electrical groundwork already completed * Double glazed PVC windows and doors * Plantation shutters (rear) and sheer S-wave curtains (front) * Electric blinds for ultimate comfort and privacy * Reverse cycle air-conditioning throughout * Integrated Centor retractable screens on all four sliding doors. * Thoughtful lighting and custom finishes at every turn Stroll just minutes to the boutiques, cafes, and restaurants of The Strand, or wander to Horseshoe Bay-a patrolled beach perfect for families, with its new Surf Lifesaving Club and the beloved Flying Fish Café. This is more than a home-it's a rare and refined coastal lifestyle, now within reach.
