Waterfront Sanctuary: A Rare Fusion of Lifestyle, Luxury and Income on Shallow Inlet
There are properties that offer a home, and then there are properties that offer an entire shift in perspective. Situated on the exclusive edge of the Sandy Point Township, 257 Sandy Point Road represents a defining moment for the aspirational sea changer. This is a rare invitation to secure approximately 1.79 hectares (4.4 acres), where the bushland meets the serene waters of Shallow Inlet. Combining a substantial, architecturally striking main residence with two established, self-contained cabins known as 'Driftwood Villas', this estate delivers the ultimate balance of secluded coastal living and immediate investment return.
The arrival experience sets the tone for total tranquility. Tucked away in a private bush setting, the property opens up to reveal uninterrupted, northerly water views that capture the changing moods of the inlet and the vast coastal sky. It is a landscape that invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and immerse yourself in a natural rhythm that feels a world away from the city, yet remains just moments from local amenities.
At the heart of the estate stands the main residence, a beacon of modern coastal architecture defined by clean lines, mixed materials, and an intuitive connection to its surroundings. Designed to maximise the coveted northern aspect, the home is a celebration of light and space. Extensive glazing and large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundaries between inside and out, ensuring the panoramic vistas across the sweeping lawns to the water are a constant backdrop to daily life.
The interior reflects a sophisticated yet earthy aesthetic, perfectly attuned to the environment. Polished timber floors bring warmth and texture to the open-plan living zones, anchored by a wood heater that promises cosy winter evenings watching the mist roll off the inlet. Reverse cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort, while the layout has been carefully considered to prioritise privacy and relaxation.
The culinary zone is designed for the entertainer. A modern kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and ample cabinetry, overlooks the dining area and the landscape beyond. It serves as the social hub of the home, seamlessly flowing out to an expansive timber deck. This outdoor living zone is nothing short of spectacular: a vast stage for alfresco dining, morning coffees in the sun, or twilight gatherings where the only soundtrack is the local birdlife and the gentle lap of the tide.
Accommodation in the main residence comprises four generous bedrooms, positioned to take full advantage of the quiet bush setting. The sleeping quarters are sanctuaries in their own right, offering restful retreats after long days spent exploring the coast.
Beyond the main home, the property offers a significant strategic advantage with the inclusion of two separate, self-contained cabins. Currently operating as 'Driftwood Villas', these residences present a turnkey solution for income generation or flexible multi-generational living. Each cabin features two bedrooms, gas appliances, and private front verandahs set within the bush environs. They are perfectly positioned to offer guests their own slice of privacy and great views, making them highly sought-after for holiday rentals in this popular tourist region. Alternatively, they serve as ideal independent living quarters for extended family or a dedicated workspace for those balancing remote work with a lifestyle upgrade.
The sheer scale of the landholding offers freedom rarely found in standard residential allotments. With ample parking for approximately 10 vehicles, there is abundant space for boats, caravans, and recreational equipment, catering to the active outdoor lifestyle that defines Sandy Point.
The location delivers the best of the South Gippsland coast. While you enjoy direct frontage to the calm waters of Shallow Inlet: perfect for kayaking, fishing, and windsurfing: the renowned surf of Sandy Point Beach is within walking distance. For nature enthusiasts, the property serves as a gateway to the spectacular Wilsons Promontory National Park, located just a scenic 30-minute drive away. This is a region famed for its rolling green hills, pristine beaches, and unspoilt wilderness, offering an endless array of weekend adventures.
This is more than just real estate; it is a legacy property offering a permanent holiday lifestyle. Whether you are seeking a complete tree and sea change, a high-performing investment portfolio addition, or a multi-family retreat where memories are made for generations, this waterfront estate provides the canvas.
