Privately positioned within one of St Andrews Beach’s most tightly held oceanfront enclaves, this remarkable coastal sanctuary, designed by acclaimed architect Nonda Katsalidis, evokes a sense of quiet privilege, space and natural beauty rarely found on the Mornington Peninsula. Lovingly enjoyed by the same family for more than 30 years, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in a breathtaking setting where properties of this calibre are seldom offered.
The residence forms part of the early architectural fabric of the area and stands as a compelling example of architect-led coastal design from a time when the Peninsula remained largely untouched, guided by site, materiality and environment. A striking composition of concrete, timber, copper and glass, the home draws inspiration from mid-century Palm Springs architecture, grounded, elemental and enduring. A stone-clad roof allows the residence to reveal itself gradually on arrival, emerging from the coastal landscape before opening to expansive views that draw the eye through the home and out toward the ocean.
The floorplan is thoughtfully arranged across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with the main living domain designed to balance outlook, privacy and connection with nature. Expanses of glazing invite natural light while dissolving the threshold between indoors and out, complemented by bespoke design elements including custom integrated lighting, concrete ceilings with a warm copper patina, a sculptural fireplace and green copper-clad ‘pillars’ all reflecting the home’s refined design sensibility. The result is a welcoming and ambient retreat for family and friends, set to the gentle rhythm of the ocean.
This connection extends outward, where two concrete wings frame a protected internal field of native grasses, creating a central sanctuary complete with a plunge pool. On the ocean side of the home, a large entertaining deck with expansive ocean views sits within established coastal vegetation, offering a natural setting for everything from morning coffee to sunset dinners. With direct access to the national park and beach, the setting further reinforces the exclusivity of the location.
Rarely do properties of this position, scale and architectural significance become available, offering an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the Peninsula’s most tightly held coastal holdings and enjoy it for generations to come.
