Befitting its exclusive location, elevated above Flinders' best swimming beach with breathtaking 180 degree views to West Head, Seal Rocks, Phillip Island to Shoreham and Pt Leo. This impeccably engineered, custom constructed Pole house on more than half-an-acre of absolute waterfront land is architecturally designed to evoke the sensation of flying across the ocean with immersive panoramas from multiple vantage points. This spectacular view cannot be infringed on or built out.
Entry to the meticulously maintained and updated home is via a private courtyard capped with a pergola draped in Burmese Honeysuckle, which becomes a verdant, fragrant extra sitting room during the summer months. Exhibiting a fusion of modernist and industrial aesthetics, with an abundance of ocean-facing glazing edged by expansive nautical-inspired entertaining decks, the generously proportioned light-filled interiors will captivate with exposed old-growth Oregon beams, towering hand-selected pine poles, Portuguese eucalypt parquetry flooring, and soaring cathedral ceilings above a sunken main living room with a wood fire heater. Positioned for optimum views and featuring windows that capture prevailing breezes, the main bedroom has a walk-in robe and marble ensuite. The central timber kitchen also faces the water and is equipped with an Ilve freestanding gas cooker, a Smeg dishwasher and there is a walk-in preparation pantry.
Walk to the waters' edge in less than a minute, where leafy sea dragons abound just off the rock shelf and watch the passing parade of aquatic wonders including whales and dolphins. Owned by an acclaimed Australian artist/designer, the property has been held by the same family for 75 years, with the original two-bedroom home built in 1984, followed by later enhancements comprising a lower level extension with a second living space with water views, a further three bedrooms and additional upstairs bathroom, plus a custom art studio (designed to be converted to a two-bedroom self-contained apartment), a store room, and a double garage.
Additional highlights include 3-phase power in the garage and studio, 6 kilowatts solar on the roof (with capacity to add more), 30,000 litres rainwater tank capacity, and a new paved driveway and drainage infrastructure. Set within landscaped, low-maintenance coastal gardens complemented with productive fruit trees and vegetable beds, on 2,494square metres*, revel in the spectacular scenery of breathtaking ocean views and the year round beauty of nature.
