Nestled within the exclusive 5-hectare Rocky Point estate, perched above the breathtaking Honeymoon Bay and the vast Pacific Ocean, 'Alinghi' stands as a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty. Recognised as one of the world's top five beach houses, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, offering an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
Designed by renowned architect James Grose, this luxury pavilion-style residence was envisioned as a retreat for contemplation and connection with nature. The design embraces minimal impact on the environment, giving the sensation of floating above the ocean. A striking architectural element is the expansive travertine platform anchoring both pavilions, framed by shallow reflection pools that enhance the home's serenity.
The main pavilion boasts generous open-plan living spaces that flow effortlessly onto semi-enclosed outdoor areas. Four spacious bedrooms include two with ensuites, while the upper-level bedrooms share a separate bathroom. The second pavilion serves as a secluded retreat, featuring a master suite with ensuite, an additional study or wellness space, and panoramic ocean views framed by native landscaped gardens.
Crafted for longevity and harmony with the environment, the exterior of 'Alinghi' is clad in Western Red Cedar, chosen for its ability to age gracefully into a silver-grey patina, blending seamlessly with the coastal landscape. The home is self-sufficient for water, with abundant rainfall captured in storage tanks, while its clever design eliminates the need for air conditioning, allowing natural cross-ventilation and cool ocean breezes to provide year-round comfort.
As part of the exclusive Rocky Point estate, 'Alinghi' residents enjoy access to a private beach at Honeymoon Bay, a stunning 30-metre oceanfront saltwater pool, an entertaining cabana with barbecue facilities, a tennis court, and the convenience of an on-site caretaker.
Surrounded by thriving native wildlife, 'Alinghi' offers encounters with wallabies, echidnas, goannas, turtles, and seasonal whale migrations. The home's carefully considered low-voltage external lighting ensures minimal disruption to the local ecosystem, particularly for nesting turtles that return to Rocky Point each year.
Located just 1.5 hours north of Bundaberg, with regular flights providing easy access from major cities, 'Alinghi' is a short drive from the relaxed coastal village of Agnes Water. Here, you'll find an array of charming restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, and boutique shops, as well as the 1770 Marina-your gateway to exploring the Great Barrier Reef and world-class fishing adventures.
A rare opportunity to own an architectural icon in one of Australia's most breathtaking coastal settings, 'Alinghi' redefines luxury living in harmony with nature.
