"Walkerville Shores" combines direct beach access, spectacular views and total immersion with nature and history. This absolute beachfront property is in the best location of the most exclusive part of Walkerville, rated number one in Victoria's best kept secrets - the spectacular beaches of which most people have never heard. You could search for a lifetime and never find anything like this amazing coastal property offering beach views from six different levels.
Enjoying a totally unique location set on approx. half an acre of land adjoining Cape Liptrap Coastal Reserve - tucked into a high escarpment, a private track leads you onto the sandy beach and adjoins the walking track leading to the historic cemetery and lime kilns. With the tranquil ambience of a Balinese retreat, the multi level residence connects with natural surroundings. Be soothed by the sounds of the sea, bird song and water moving through the series of ponds whilst enjoying a truly luxurious lifestyle.
Secure entry is via a remote controlled electric gate and automated garage roller door. You are now in your private oasis. After undergoing substantial renovations, the stunning entrance winds up through a series of established tropical garden settings to the lower level. This level comprises a dedicated cinema quality theatre room and adjoining library / reading room / home office that also doubles as additional bedroom space. Both rooms are connected to a garden courtyard with bay views.
Upstairs, the focus is on the 180 degree unbelievable vista through an entire floor-to ceiling wall of glazing facing over the ever changing outlook over one of the state's most prestigious ocean views. From pristine and sandy coves, rock pools and the spectacular panorama of Wilsons Prom and Waratah Bay. All this with nothing between you and the sea but your front garden. No interrupting roads, no foot traffic, no sand dunes to climb, only metres to the bay.
The living room flows out to a wrap around deck that has to be seen to be believed. Uniquely set amongst the treetops, this is just the spot for whale watching, eagle spotting, star gazing and dreaming. The kitchen is beautifully appointed featuring quality appliances, a huge island bench and a walk in pantry - of course ensuring that the beach remains centre stage.
There are two supersized bedrooms on this level - both with ensuites, plus a guest bathroom. The master ensuite is a magnificent statement with a double vanity, huge shower and stunning freestanding bath in a glazed atrium. Automated blinds in all bedrooms and the main ensuite ensure privacy whilst still enjoying those beautiful bay views.
An upstairs room offers the crowning glory with its own balcony and expansive views, also with sleeping options.
A laundry / utility room and workspace / office are practical features making this property ideal for full time living.
Another expansive deck runs across the rear of the retreat with a raised sitting area overlooking a waterfall and the expanse of the coastal reserve - a haven for birds and wildlife at your back door. A large workshop / studio has re-purposing potential (STCA). Comfortable year-round with a central wood heater, under floor heating plus reverse cycle heating and cooling.
If you are looking for the best in coastal locations, this is a must-see property. With an established income stream from holiday rentals, and inclusive of all furniture, this is the perfect way to combine business, pleasure and the ultimate escape.
