Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to last. 14 Pelican Street, Slade Point, is both.
Set on an expansive 1,412m² allotment close to the beach, this extraordinary residence is a rare example of genuine craftsmanship, scale and permanence. Built in 1993 by a European stonemason over seven years, the home is constructed from stone, concrete and steel - creating a presence and solidity that is almost impossible to replicate today.
From the moment you arrive, the home's individuality is unmistakable. Seven tonnes of river stone frame the landscaped front entry, while the expansive wraparound verandah incorporates three separate tiled balconies, creating an impressive connection between the home and its tropical surrounds.
Inside, natural light, soaring ceilings and decorative cornices complement Italian tiles throughout the living, dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen is equally distinctive, with stone waterfall benchtops and premium Neff appliances, including a German steamer, oven and dishwasher.
The upper level accommodates three bedrooms, a dedicated study and two bathrooms, with the master bedroom and second bedroom offering additional split-system air-conditioning. The main bathroom features a tiled bath and shower, while a separate toilet is located within the laundry.
The home's scale continues outdoors, where a huge 110,000-litre magnesium pool with spa forms the centrepiece of an exceptional entertaining area. Frameless glass fencing, tiled surrounds and a large adjoining balcony create a private resort-like setting, while collapsible doors connect the living area directly to the outdoors.
Downstairs, a separate ensuited granny flat adds another dimension to the property, complete with its own hot water system and stone benchtops. Whether required for extended family, guests or additional living space, it offers genuine versatility.
Considerable care has been taken to enhance and preserve the home in recent years, including a brand-new Colorbond roof and gutters, fresh painting, upgraded rear entertaining areas and improvements to the surrounding stonework. A 10kW solar system and SolaHart hot water system add further practicality.
The property also offers four-car covered accommodation, a single-bay shed, additional garden shed, concrete pad, electric gate, aluminium fencing, enclosed bore pump and hardwired security cameras.
Every element of this home reflects its original vision: build it properly, build it once, and build it to endure.
Close to the beach and set within one of Slade Point's established coastal pockets, this is far more than a substantial family home. It is a piece of craftsmanship with a story, built from materials chosen for their strength and designed to stand the test of time.
Stone. Concrete. Steel. Seven years of craftsmanship. One truly extraordinary home.
