Overview

Historic Coastal Treasure at Encounter Bay

Positioned on the stunning beachfront at Encounter Bay, this is a truly rare opportunity to secure one of the area's most iconic and historically significant homes. Offering breathtaking panoramic views across the sparkling bay to Wright Island, Granite Island and The Bluff, this remarkable property combines timeless character with an unbeatable coastal lifestyle. Steeped in local history, the original home was built in the 1850s using locally sourced reef stone, quarried from directly across the road when a channel was created through the reef to bring whales ashore. Lovingly restored to honour its rich heritage, the home beautifully showcases the craftsmanship and charm of a bygone era while providing comfortable modern living. Inside, you'll discover an abundance of original features including warm Baltic pine floors, traditional matchboard ceilings and cosy open fireplaces that create an inviting atmosphere throughout. Outside, the property is equally impressive, with convenient side access leading to a rear shed and carport, providing substantial off-street parking for vehicles, boats or caravans. Located just moments from the boat ramp, this exceptional home is perfectly suited to those who embrace the coastal lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a unique permanent residence, an unforgettable holiday retreat or a landmark property to treasure for generations, this extraordinary oceanfront home is an opportunity that rarely comes to market.
