House
Hill top retreat with space, privacy and endless views
Set high above Fairhaven beach on an expansive 3,650sqm (approx.) allotment, this property is a cherished coastal retreat offering beautiful ocean views, privacy and timeless beach house charm. From its elevated position, sweeping vistas stretch along the coastline toward Lorne — visible from the open plan living zone and two of the bedrooms — delivering ever changing seascapes from dawn through to sunset. The heart of the home is a wonderfully spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area, where soaring timber-lined ceilings and warm natural finishes create an inviting, lodge like atmosphere. Sunlight pours in through wide windows framing the surrounding bushland and ocean beyond, while a cosy wood fire anchors the living space, making it the perfect place to gather after long beach days. Reverse-cycle heating and cooling ensure comfort throughout every season. The original timber lined kitchen remains full of character, with solid timber benchtops, generous storage and a leafy outlook through the window — a space that feels honest, warm and wonderfully connected to the home’s coastal origins. Perfectly functional as is, it also offers scope for future enhancement should new owners wish to add their own touch, without losing the soul of the home. (Pro tip: paint it internally all white throughout to turn it into a timeless coastal retreat). Sliding doors open to generous outdoor decks that extend the living experience. The expansive rear deck is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining among the treetops, while the front deck captures some of the most impressive coastal views in Fairhaven — an unbeatable spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply soaking in the outlook.Accommodation is well suited to both family use and holiday letting, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A standout feature is the oversized third bedroom, designed as a true kids’ retreat with three built-in bunk beds, its own sitting zone and direct connection to the outdoors. It’s the kind of space that creates lifelong holiday memories — sleepovers, rainy day games and relaxed afternoons after the beach — while easily accommodating extended for family or larger groups. The property is currently a popular holiday rental that is steadily booked by those looking for non urban experience where the bush meets the beach. Inspection by appointment.
