Welcome to 17 Sutherland Drive, Beachport, a place where life slows down, kids run barefoot on the grass, and sunsets feel just that little bit more special.
Tucked away in the tightly held Muggleton area of beautiful Beachport, this much-loved home offers something increasingly rare, space to grow, room to breathe, and a peaceful rural outlook just minutes from the sea. It’s the kind of property where Christmas lunches stretch long into the afternoon, where friends naturally gather, and where everyday moments become lifelong memories.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm. The quality, site-built Blue Lake home has been freshly repainted, giving it a fresh, welcoming feel. Entering from the rear, you’re greeted by the expansive enclosed pergola, bathed in beautiful northern light and made for connection. Imagine birthday celebrations, shared meals, laughter echoing into the evening… all protected from the elements and flowing effortlessly into the home’s living spaces. With direct access from the enclosed double carport, even winter arrivals feel easy and comfortable.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is warm and inviting, the true gathering place. Equipped with a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher and generous pantry, it’s ready for everything from quick family breakfasts to hearty Sunday roasts. The adjoining dining area keeps everyone close, while sliding doors open back to the pergola, blending indoor and outdoor living in the most natural way. Reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures comfort through every season.
The lounge is filled with gentle natural light and offers a cosy retreat at the end of the day. Soft carpet underfoot and a second reverse-cycle unit make it a welcoming space to unwind. Privately positioned in this wing, the master bedroom feels like a true sanctuary. The walk-around wardrobe provides everyday practicality, while the beautifully renovated ensuite by McManus Builders brings a touch of luxury with its floor-to-ceiling tiles and elegant, contemporary styling.
At the opposite end of the home, a separate family wing creates space and privacy for everyone. Three additional bedrooms, two with built-ins, each feature ceiling fans and plenty of natural light. The thoughtfully designed bathroom, complete with bath, shower, separate toilet and powder area, makes busy mornings smoother. The ability to close off this wing when not in use adds both comfort and efficiency. A generous laundry with outdoor access completes the practical layout.
Step outside and the dream continues. The impressive 7-bay shed (21m x 8m) is more than storage, it’s opportunity. A workshop, hobby haven, caravan home base or creative space, complete with drive-through access and its own bathroom. Whatever your passion, there’s room for it here.
Set on 1.01 hectares (2.49 acres) with subdivision potential (STPC), the land invites you to imagine the future. Fully fenced with a secure house yard and paddock, there’s space for children to explore, pets to roam and gardens to flourish. A thriving veggie patch, hothouse and chook yard promise fresh produce straight from your backyard, while a charming dam adds a gentle country touch, a place for curious little adventurers or quiet reflection.
Sustainability and self-sufficiency are woven beautifully into daily life. The 15kW solar system with 11kW battery, installed by trusted local tradesmen Lonergan and Muhovics — offers peace of mind with 24/7 off-site monitoring and generator backup capability. Approximately 68,000 litres of rainwater, comprehensive filtration, bore water for the grounds, solar/electric hot water to the home and instant gas to the shed all support an easier, more independent way of living.
This isn’t just a property. It’s a home filled with possibility. A place where children can grow up with space around them, where celebrations feel effortless, and where the rhythm of coastal life in Beachport becomes your everyday reality.
If you’ve been searching not just for a house, but for a feeling — this may be the one.
