THE LOCATION
This is perhaps the most significant estate on the entire Perth coastline. Situated along the shoreline of South City Beach - the most central stretch of coastline to the Heart of Perth City. Directly opposite, the coast reserve is actually a part of Bold Park. In this location, a finite 27 homes have rear garden gates opening to the oceanfront dunes. 56 Challenger frames these dunes at their southern end and occupies nearly 2.5 times the land area of the average block size along this strip. One of only two properties in existence which front the coast reserve on two boundaries, this is the only property on the South City Beach Waterfront that does so facing north, with over 50M facing North over the coast reserve and approaching 30M facing West over the coast reserve.
The ocean is your backdrop behind the dunes in both directions. This aspect is a glorious, coastal, all-weather-protected sun-trap, cradling its tennis court amongst surround olive grove in the foreground and taking in a limitless and magnificent north-westerly coastal expanse of views beyond. The views out across the vast Indian Ocean that are akin to being on the West End of Rottnest. An endless, distant, sunbathed aspect all day long.
The property offers a rare duality of centrality and convenience due to its location on Perth City's most central beachfront and a remote sense of wilderness, isolation and privacy due to its extreme coastal fringe location nestled atop and within the primary coastal dune system.
Situated on a whopping 1473sqm oceanfront landholding, this is the only land parcel even remotely close to this size on the South City Beach Waterfront and almost without peers in size on the entire Perth coastline between Fremantle and Hillarys Marina.
THE ARCHITECTURE
Drawing inspiration from the serenity of the links golf courses of coastal Scotland, the home was designed by Architect Andrew Boughton to talk to, and be sympathetic with, its natural environment. The design brief was to effortlessly blend with the surrounding dune-scape and to become an iconic piece of forever architecture which speaks to its location and lives, breathes and becomes an indistinguishable part of its coastal surroundings. We believe the architect has been astonishingly successful in achieving these ends. This is a timeless residence of impeccable design consideration, constructed of the finest quality materials. It has become synonymous and inseparable with the premium stretch of beachfront on which it resides.
THE RESIDENCE
This is a sensationally private oceanside residence secluded by the surrounding dunes.
The interior features a floor plan of epic proportions, enhanced by vaulted ceilings and soaring double height voids. The highest quality materials and world class finishes are exhibited throughout, with rich Sheoak timber, Italian marble, slate shingle roofing, copper storm gutters and downpipes and classic coastal limestone emanating the generosity and style of a finely appointed clubhouse.
In the West wing, a minor bedroom zone over two levels, comprises four bedrooms sharing two bathrooms and two powder rooms, a second study and a music room. All minor bedrooms are king sized, and all open onto lawns or balconies overlooking the coast.
Upstairs, a parents' retreat comprises a spacious master bedroom, adjacent sitting area, en-suite bathroom, enormous walk in robe with enclosed cabinetry, and adjoining space ideal for use as a third office or nursery. A generous balcony provides multiple views of the ocean, the parklands, and the pool area cascading towards the tennis court below.
On the lower ground floor The Country Club consists of a large games room with bar, opening out onto the tennis court. There is room for billiards, lounging and dining in this space. This area will come to life during your soirees and social get-togethers and is sure to form the backdrop of many a family memory.
An enchanting wine cellar is truly a wine connoisseur's dream - entered from two sides via grand twin sets of double antique timber doors from India , with brick vaulted ceilings and blacksmith crafted steel gates inspired by those of the Hospiz-Alm of St Christoph, Austria.
