Skip the mainland for this architecturally designed island marvel. An off-grid lifestyle perched high above the purest azure coastline, spanning some 8,700sqm of self-sufficient seaside solitude over 2 separate titles.
Just 20 or so nautical miles from Port Lincoln, if the idea of a 15-minute flight or a leisurely cruise across the sparkling Spencer Gulf conjures holiday bliss, or bespoke business opportunity, then paradise awaits.
Framing the coastal views with a north-facing front deck and wrap-around return verandas, this home is one of Thistle Islands finest, flaunting some of the bay's most jaw-dropping vistas, and comes fully furnished for an enticing walk-in, walk-out opportunity.
Take everything into consideration: the soaring rooflines, swathes of sleek timber benchtops, sublime custom joinery (the prized work of John Bertram), rich Blackbutt timber floors, Smeg and Miele kitchen appliances, plus two sparkling designer bathrooms - every luxury inclusion confirms a want for nothing lifestyle in a home capable of giving more, for less
More thanks to a new and fully enclosed 15-18KVA generator, 140,000L of plumbed rainwater, chicken coop, an enclosed veggie garden, even an authentic brick smokehouse built to the exact specifications of the best smoke house in Great Britain, designed for hot or cold smoking to infuse your freshest catch with extra flavour.
Enhancing every backdrop, every room is engulfed by full-height sunbathed windows; the open plan living zone capturing the magnificent sandstone cliffs, glowing skies and glistening sea in one exasperating corner sweep.
You'll enjoy winters with a 2-way French fireplace aglow between the living zone and master suite, and when the sky fades, there's always the surround sound and projector set-up to screen an entirely different blockbuster.
Floating bespoke joinery extends the breadth of each bathroom, infused with aquamarine mosaic tiles and highlight sky panes; yet spending your days outdoors is a huge part of the allure.
Enormous shedding will keep the boat, vehicles and machinery secure, and a separate brick shed housing the generator is cleverly sound dampened and aerated for maximum heat reduction.
For the fishing enthusiast, enjoy the abundance of quality seafood right at your doorstep including Southern Ocean Rock Lobster, Abalone, King George Whiting, Snapper, Tuna, Sampson Fish, Squid, Octopus and more.
It's not only the ocean that will mesmerize, it's the natural beauty of the native flora and fauna on the Island teeming with rare Bilbies, Rock Wallabies, Sea Eagles, Wedge Tailed Eagles, Kestrels, Curlews, rare Ospreys, Southern Right Whales, Dolphins, Sea-Lions and even the sought-after Paper Nautilus shells found on the pristine beaches, it's simply spectacular. And the really good news Thistle Island has no snakes!
Start the tinny or the luxury cruiser, fish amongst frolicking dolphin pods, explore the hidden gems of the Isle or simply sink your toes into the whitest sand of your well-protected beach yours might be the only footprints for days
