Perched on a cliff top, the beautifully appointed, eight bedroom, sandstone homestead enjoys 270 degree views over ocean, mountains and nature reserve.

Two fully equipped kitchens, a pool, spa, light-filled garden atrium and secure childrens play area are among the indoor offerings. A retractable star-gazing ceiling adds charm to the master bedroom.
Outdoors, the grounds offer multiple delights. There are kayaks at the lake-side gazebo, a tennis court, cricket pitch, putting greens, bird hides, a chicken coop and walking trails scattered with wildflowers and artworks. Whales, dolphins and kangaroos can be spotted from the homesteads vast windows. Private tracks lead to a perfect swimming beach. The external areas of the property include sculptures and works of art by well known international artists. A 500 acre pristine bushland area is a wildflower paradise in spring hosting multiple varieties of flora and fauna.
Remote, relaxed and completely private, the retreat has security controlled entry and a picturesque sealed driveway. A sealed airstrip and a helicopter pad make it easily accessible by air.
