Portsea
Remarkable Views, Timeless Architecture
Poised on a coastal rise with sweeping ocean and bay views, this rare 1.5 acre (approx.) sanctuary offers privacy and outlook in equal measure. Designed by Stephen Akehurst, the residence pairs timeless coastal elegance with exceptional family-scale living, only moments from the surf and all that Portsea has to offer.
Rising above the native vegetation, the home presents a striking form, with crisp architectural lines that sit confidently within the landscape. Thoughtfully designed across two levels connected by a lift, it offers generous proportions and considered separation for multigenerational living.
Upstairs, the generous kitchen, dining and principal living spaces embrace the home’s elevated setting, with an expansive outlook stretching north across the bay to Melbourne and south over the national park’s sand dunes to the ocean and its breaking waves. Driftwood tones, timber-lined ceilings and timber floors bring warmth and texture to the interiors, their restrained palette allowing the coastal panorama to remain the focus. A fireplace anchors the main lounge, creating an inviting place to gather through the cooler months. Sliding glass doors welcome summer cross-breezes and extend the living spaces onto an alfresco balcony, where long lunches and relaxed evenings unfold against a backdrop of sea and sky.
The den offers a third living space, gazing towards the bay and providing an intimate winter retreat with its own fireplace. Privately positioned on this level, the primary suite features a walk-in robe and generous ensuite. Here, you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves and awaken to beautiful ocean views.
On the ground floor, four bedrooms and two bathrooms are complemented by a dedicated living area with kitchenette facilities and access to a covered loggia. This thoughtful layout gives extended family and guests the space and independence to enjoy their own rhythm.
Blue water appears between gnarled tea-tree trunks as a timber walkway leads to the long, clean-lined swimming pool. Summer days drift between poolside relaxation and time at the beach, while meandering native gardens merge with the surrounding national park, grounding the home beautifully in its coastal setting.
A rare opportunity to secure a considered piece of architecture in one of Portsea’s most private settings, where the surrounding coastal beauty feels as though it is always within reach.
