Poised on the ridgeline of Sunrise Beach, The Gable House captures the quiet confidence of Australian coastal modernism.
Reinterpreted with care by Owen Architecture, the home balances proportion, light and material in effortless rhythm.
Morning light pools across handmade tiles and timber, while ocean air drifts through the house in soft continuity. Each space opens to the horizon - a dialogue between architecture and landscape. Here, life unfolds between sea and sky.
ARCHITECTURE
Reimagined by Owen Architecture and the interior-designer owner, The Gable House honours its 1969 modernist origin with precision and care. The sculptural gable roofline, original VJ panelling and exposed beams have been respectfully retained, preserving the home's honest, enduring form.
Architecture here is distilled to its essentials - light, proportion and rhythm. Framed openings and deep eaves create shifting plays of shadow, while the home's low-slung geometry grounds it gently into the landscape. Every space is drawn toward the horizon, inviting an ever-present connection to sea and sky.
Material continuity strengthens that dialogue between indoors and out. Custom timber casement windows and doors, benchtops and thresholds in Sareva stone and the textured warmth of endicott paving bind the architecture to its coastal setting. The outdoor fireplace, a signature of Owen Architecture's work, extends the home's rhythm beyond its walls - a sculptural gesture around which life gathers and light fades.
Elevated on its ridgeline site, The Gable House looks outward to the Pacific while remaining deeply anchored to place - a calm expression of Australian coastal modernism, both timeless and entirely at ease.
In a location defined by enduring scarcity and architectural integrity, The Gable House stands as both a design statement and a sound investment in the rarest form of coastal living - one that will only deepen in value over time.

INTERIORS
Inside, a palette of hand-made Japanese INAX tiles, original timber panelling, honed stone and
aged brass grounds the home in its coastal setting. The interiors carry the architectural language inward - a study in restraint and craftsmanship where texture, tone and proportion define a quiet sense of luxury.
The living and dining spaces extend effortlessly to a sun-drenched entertaining terrace - effectively the home's third living room and quiet heart. Anchored by a feature fireplace, a hallmark of Owen Architecture's work, this space blurs the threshold between interior and landscape.
At the centre of the plan, the kitchen embodies calm precision. Miele appliances recede within bespoke joinery, while honed Sareva stone and brushed brass lend tactile richness. Light glances across Astra Walker tapware - small moments of reflection that speak to ritual and ease.
Accommodation is designed for rest and retreat. Guest rooms offer gentle privacy, while the ocean-facing master suite opens directly to the rising light, its aspect softened by sea air and the hush of morning. A secondary living area gathers the interior inward - a serene counterpoint for reading, conversation or quiet thought.
As a complete single-level haven, The Gable House exists in perfect balance with its site - poised to embrace the horizon in every direction.

The garden, designed by Dan Young, extends the architectural language into the surrounding terrain - minimal, layered and attuned to the coast. Textural planting softens the home's geometry, while elevated outdoor spaces frame the ocean beyond.
Paved in endicott stone, the terrace leads to a sculptural outdoor fireplace - offering a place to gather beneath open sky and sea breeze.
A heated magnesium pool and level lawns complete a landscape of ease and permanence - a seamless extension of the home.

LOCATION
Poised at the highest point of Sunrise Beach, The Gable House commands a rare and uninterrupted outlook across the Pacific Ocean. The home occupies the premier site on the Netherby Rise ridgeline, with an impressive 30 metre frontage that amplifies its connection to the horizon and surrounding coastal landscape.
The elevated site ensures an outlook that will remain forever preserved - Netherby Rise is regarded as the most sought-after enclave in Sunrise Beach, its architectural homes and ocean vistas underpinning some of the fastest rising property values in the region.
Moments from the coastal walkway that winds through pandanus and banksia to the open sands of Sunrise Beach, the home offers a rare duality of seclusion and connection.
