World-class gulf view mansion

A remarkable approx. 686sqm classically inspired Mediterranean-style mansion set on nearly 2,000sqm of elevated coastal land. Perched near the water’s edge, this home offers a seamless connection to nature. The moment you step inside, you’re captivated by a moving painting—where shimmering water, lush greenery, and colorful scenes of yachts, ferries, and boats drifting across the Gulf unfold before your eyes. It’s a living, moving masterpiece. Birdsong greets you daily, adding to the tranquil, holiday-like atmosphere. With a pool, expansive lawns, and space for the kids to play, it truly embraces the coastal lifestyle—where sea, bush, and life on the water merge.

In one of Glendowie’s most prestigious coastal positions, this substantial estate offers rare scale, privacy, and presence. A sweeping turnaround driveway and porte-cochere create a grand entrance to the five-bedroom home. Inside, a dramatic foyer is framed by twin staircases with wrought iron and copper leaf detailing.

Two elegant lounges flank the central kitchen and family room, all opening to terraces that capture uninterrupted views of the Gulf, Bucklands Beach, and Musick Point. From the kitchen, you can overlook the pool and lawn below.

Upstairs, three spacious bedroom suites (one with a study) enjoy spectacular views. The primary suite features a large dressing room, a luxurious ensuite, and a private terrace facing amazing views, perfect for morning coffee. The lower level, designed for entertaining, includes a second kitchen, home theatre, gym, and wine cellar, all opening to the pool terrace.

Above the three-car garaging, self-contained quarters offer a lounge, kitchenette, and two additional bedrooms. There’s secure parking for at least 10 more vehicles.

Close to Karaka Bay Beach, Churchill Park Reserve, the boat club, and zoned for Glendowie College, this impeccably updated coastal estate offers an extraordinary lifestyle.
