Positioned on the box seat of Yattalunga Bay, this extraordinary waterfront residence is a place where nature, architecture and emotion exist in perfect harmony. Held within the same family for 65 years, and offered to the open market for the first time in over six decades, this is not simply a home – it is a legacy.
From the moment you arrive, the landscaping sets a powerful tone. Award-winning and meticulously curated over many years, the gardens unfold like a private botanical retreat. Established trees, sculpted hedging, winding paths, stone walls and intimate garden rooms create a sense of discovery at every turn. Dual street access enhances privacy and functionality, while a secluded secret garden offers a rare space to pause, breathe and simply be. Every vista has been considered, every planting intentional, creating a setting that feels both timeless and deeply nurturing.
The home itself is warm, character-filled and beautifully connected to its surroundings, with high ceilings throughout enhancing the sense of space and light. Upstairs, three bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for privacy and outlook, with the upstairs main bedroom currently used as a lounge room and wet bar; however, it is plumbed and ready to be converted back to an en-suite if required. Downstairs, a flexible fourth room has previously been used as a family room. This space is truly exceptional – bathed in warmth from expansive stacker doors that open completely to the patio, framed by exposed beams that add architectural charm and soul. It is a room that invites gatherings, slow afternoons, and effortless indoor-outdoor living, with lush greenery forming an ever-changing natural backdrop.
The expansive front living and dining zone is where the home truly meets the water. Facing west across Brisbane Water, this space opens flatly onto the verandah, making it an effortless walk-out that draws you outdoors from morning through to evening. The verandah enjoys gentle morning sun and is shaded in summer, offering year-round comfort. Inside, two ceiling fans and a split system air conditioner ensure the space remains comfortable, while remote blinds and shutters to the lounge and dining areas provide both convenience and climate control. Large openings frame the water view that instantly calms and captivates.
The kitchen has been intelligently designed to maximise this outlook. A large servery window and generous bench connect the kitchen directly to the outdoors, making entertaining seamless. Granite benchtops, electric cooking, and a built-in wine rack combine practicality with understated elegance, ensuring the heart of the home remains both functional and inviting.Adding further versatility is a fully lined and plumbed studio, a valuable inclusion that opens up endless possibilities. Ideal for a home business, creative studio, or additional accommodation, it benefits from its own side access, allowing clients or visitors to arrive without passing through the main residence – a rare and highly desirable feature.
The property benefits from a Council-approved Development Application for an extension to the ground floor front verandah, along with additional rooms to the rear of the first floor. This approval provides a clear pathway for future enhancement, allowing the next custodian to expand the home while respecting its existing character and exceptional waterfront position. The home is also supported by two underground concrete water storage tanks, enhancing sustainability and long-term functionality.
Beyond the home, Yattalunga Bay reveals itself as one of the most breathtaking natural settings on Brisbane Water. Sunsets are often nothing short of spectacular, delivering vivid, dramatic skies that reflect across the water in constantly shifting colour. As night falls, twinkling lights shimmer across the bay from Tascott, creating an outlook that feels both intimate and expansive.
The bay is a home to the iconic Brisbane Water black swans, with over one hundred often gathering at a time, drawn to the extensive seagrass meadows that thrive here. These meadows are some of the finest on Brisbane Water, visible at the lowest tides and alive with birdlife, including migratory species. They also provide a superior habitat for fish and marine life.
Mornings are sacred, the rising sun's light falls first on the distant hills and moves across 5 kms of Brisbane Water until it illuminates the boats moored in Yattalunga Bay. You will never lift the blinds without pausing, if only for a moment, to absorb the view before you.
The lifestyle offering is equally compelling. A jetty sits just steps from the front door, delivering all the benefits of waterfront boating without the cost or maintenance of private ownership. A small launching ramp directly in front makes water access effortless, while the area remains exceptionally quiet due to minimal public use. Over sixty-five years of family ownership, the property has never been flooded or inundated, even through king tides and significant weather events – a reassuring testament to its position and resilience.
Enhanced by eight solar panels and surrounded by one of the widest, most tranquil stretches of Brisbane Water, Yattalunga remains a small, tightly held village nestled between Green Point and Saratoga – a place where openness, privacy and community coexist.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a deeply loved waterfront home, rich in history, beauty and soul. A place where gardens tell stories, sunsets become rituals, and every day begins and ends connected to the water.
