There is beachfront property and then there is this.... no roads, no traffic, just panoramic views over the sweeping curve of sandy north-facing beach in front and National Park to the side and rear. The tranquility and outlook has to be experienced to be appreciated.
Tucked away at the eastern end of beautiful Horseshoe Bay, it is just a 300m stroll along the beach to the 'strip' where there's a fantastic selection of cafes, restaurants, shops, watersports and regular markets. Sitting on your front deck, you remain blissfully unaware that civilisation is so close, as you relax and watch boats bobbing about in the bay by day and spectacular sunsets by night.
The home is well-elevated to ensure privacy and capture the cooling sea breezes and having the National Park as neighbour on two sides is both unique and desirable, allowing the main home to enjoy bush and beach views and the guest cottage to the rear to also benefit from spectacular mountain and bush views.
The pool and expansive decking and outdoor entertainment area tie the two pavilions together so that family groups can enjoy the property as a large home with room for all, or it would equally work well to live in one pavilion and holiday let the other.
The home has been beautifully renovated and reconfigured to make the most of its location and upgrade it to a stylish modern holiday home. The main house opens right up so you almost feel like you're on a boat with panoramic water views across the bay all the way to Hinchinbrook Island on a clear day with fresh sea breezes free-flowing through. The open-plan living area, with its polished hardwood floors and characterful raked ceilings and beams, connects seamlessly with the huge front deck and flows right through to open up completely to the rear with views of the pool and National Park.
The covered front deck is really a complete living room and dining room in itself and will be where you spend most of your time. Inside, there is another lounge area and room for a formal dining area with the kitchen central to the room and offering all you need in a large family home or holiday home - stone benchtops, breakfast bar, extra-large gas cooktop and electric oven, dishwasher, two sinks, plenty of drawer and cupboard space and room for a large double door fridge....and a magnificent view out of the timber louvred window right down the beach!
The master bedroom is tucked away off the main living area and is very generous in size, with beautiful pale hardwood floors, raked ceilings, a combination of glass and timber louvres so you'll rarely need to use the air-con, large built-in-wardrobes and ensuite bathroom with a luxurious stand-alone bath, walk-in shower and stylish vanity. A second ensuite bedroom is upstairs on the mezzanine level which enjoys views in both directions, whilst the TV room on the main living level can equally well be used as a bedroom should that be your preference, near which there's a handy powder room.
The back wall of the house opens up with bi-fold doors and the glass pool fencing virtually disappears to reveal the sparkling blue inground pool framed by the lush green hills behind, dotted with granite boulders and hoop pines.
The guest cottage is made up of four main rooms, the two to the back make lovely bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and opening up onto the back deck where you can observe wildlife and enjoy the changing light on the hills. Another room is currently set-up as a lounge but can also easily be converted to a sixth bedroom, whilst the fourth room is lovely and bright with views onto the pool, kitchenette and lounge/diner.
On 929m2 freehold land, there is fencing for pets, and substantial lock-up storage under the house. Down on ground level, there is further decking at the front of the house which is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal or a drink, where you feel as if you are right on the beach, yet perfectly screened for privacy with natural easy-care gardens.
This beautiful home is available for private inspection by prior appointment, please call Alex to arrange.
