Rare is truly an understatement as we offer this 2004 built waterfront property to the market for the first time since its build. With an unrepeatable prime waterfront position, you overlook the open foreshore from an elevated position that showcases the shimmering sea with barely a sole to disturb you in this private, peaceful and secluded spot. Only 13 properties overlook the sand and sea in this envious esplanade position, they just don't come up, with most passed from one generation to another. As a matter of fact, Rapid Bay with a population less than 50, rarely sees property of any kind become available.
Cleverly designed with flexibility in mind and currently the youngest property in Rapid Bay, the floor plan can be adjusted and utilised to suit your needs as a weekender, a BNB business opportunity or as an everyday retreat to reside.
You'll never tire of the ocean and historic Jetty views and the towering hills that surround you have interesting rock caves and form a natural habitat for wedge tail and sea eagles, kites, owls and kangaroos.
During my owners 20 years here, they've seen dolphins, seals, whales, kangaroos and echidnas with more amazing birdlife like rosellas, corellas, sulphur crested cockatoos, galahs, swallows and wrens.
Known for its jetty fishing with over 70 recorded species of fish visiting and a natural habitat for the leafy sea dragon, the historic jetty was storm damaged in 2004 and my owners purchased some of the rescued timbers and have included them as part of the build of their home. The internal staircase is the main highlight along with deck surrounds, fire pit seating and an impressive outdoor table.
My owners are willing to sell the property fully furnished which we'll discuss with the lucky buyer in more detail.
Inside …
- open plan kitchen, dining and living, glass fronted with sliding doors to always enjoy the views
- timber kitchen with (bottled) gas cook top and stone topped island

- a small landing could even fit a small study desk
- two roof hatches allow easy access for tradespeople or occasional storage
Great outdoors …
- the most impressive three roomed studio /shed with large loft space and a Fatso combustion wood fire, not only makes an impressive shed, but would also be the perfect artist studio, wood working den, man cave, she shed or kids zone
- rainwater storage plumbed to the house
-low maintenance seaside plantings with fruit trees and those shady towering pine trees that are crying out to be climbed by the young and old!

Location …
- around 90 minutes from Adelaide City and once the second stage of Main South Road from Aldinga to Sellicks is complete, that time will likely reduce
