Discover the delights of a stunning seaside lifestyle with this unique, architecturally designed dual-level oasis in the heart of beautiful Encounter Bay.
Taking in breathtaking views of Granite Island and 'The Bluff', and commanding an elevated position wrapped in lush, landscaped gardens, its contemporary façade makes way for sun-drenched interiors designed with relaxed living in mind.
Amplifying the sense of space, raked ceilings, gorgeous timber floors and the extensive use of glass throughout both the formal lounge and the open living and meals zone ensures you'll enjoy an ever-present connection to the coast, while entertaining with ease from the gourmet kitchen that flaunts a sweeping island bench and superior stainless-steel appliances.
Fitted with split system air-conditioning and gas heating for year-round comfort, share meals indoors as you take in magnificent ocean views, or make the most of balmy summer evenings atop the stunning timber balcony that stretches seamlessly outwards from here. Appointed with a café blind and an expansive timber breakfast bar, one can host pre-dinner drinks or simply gaze upon the sweeping ocean vista over a piping hot morning coffee. Irrigated and cleverly landscaped gardens unfold below, making use of unique plantings including a useful lawned area perfect for kids and pets.
Three generous bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom also grace the upper level - including a deluxe master suite that takes in exquisite ocean vistas - while downstairs, versatile dual-living awaits.
The perfect haven for guests, teenagers or maybe even an Air BnB (STCC), the lower level has been transformed into a self-contained studio featuring a kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and living, while a double carport has ample clearance to store the boat or caravan and a wide driveway offers additional parking.
A mere 800m from the shore, and moments from cafés, reserves and the local golf course, hike the Bluff, catch the Cockle Train, launch the boat just 1km from home and whale-watch right from your own balcony! And with schools and shopping nearby too, it's conveniently close to amenities but removed enough to feel a million miles away.
This is your once in a lifetime opportunity to secure an idyllic coastal lifestyle in one of SA's most spectacular settings. Arrange your inspection today.
