37 Flinders Street, QueenscliffVIC

Positioned against a world class backdrop overlooking the glistening waters of Port Phillip Heads, this magnificent five-bedroom residence combines barefoot beachside living with sumptuous entertaining spaces, while its waterfront address commands its status of one of the Bellarine’s absolute finest.

Sequestered within 1.5-acres (approx.) of European-inspired surrounds with direct access to the gently lapping shoreline of Nuns Beach, ‘Sagres’ was designed in the early 1990s by late architect Wayne Gillespie for Lady Susannah Clarke and Sir Rupert Clarke.

An extensive renovation in 2022 has ushered the commanding tri-level home into a contemporary era, delivering a stunning showcase of quality finishes, poolside indulgence, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration.

Daily living and entertaining takes centre stage via a mid-level open-plan family domain where full height glazing creates the perfect picture frame to take in the unobstructed views stretching from the Point Lonsdale Lighthouse to Point Nepean.

Sliding glass doors access a choice of terrace balconies; one captures glorious northern sunshine while the other provides an unparalleled setting for watching ships as they move through The Heads or taking in spectacular sunsets over the water.

The home’s remarkable leisure offerings extend outdoors to the white tiled mineral pool, nestled within the private landscaped gardens and, when it’s time to retreat, a gas log fire provides a soothing ambience for cosy nights in.

The sublime kitchen caters to a crowd with ease, appointed with thick stone benchtops, twin Miele ovens, 5-burner cooktop, and Miele dishwasher. From here, a staircase leads upwards to a choice of primary bedrooms, both with their own lavish ensuites, including one boasting arguably the region’s best views.

Glide downstairs past a dreamy wall mural by Nobby Seymour to discover three further bedrooms, all with built-in robes, alongside the main bathroom, a storage-laden laundry, and a second living zone providing further space for families to relax and unwind.

Backed by a rich interior tapestry of herringbone floors, textural wall finishes, travertine tiles, and an organic palette that enhances the connection with nature, the home’s further comprehensive appointments include ducted heating, auto gated entry, ample off-street parking space, and outdoor powder room, twin showers, and bathtub – ideal for rinsing off sandy feet after a walk along the beach.

Available to purchase on a walk-in, walk-out basis inclusive of all household items from furniture and whitegoods, to the home’s La Marzocco espresso machine and custom linen and towel range by Ouoin The Label, this is a rare opportunity to secure peerless permanent living, an indulgent beach house, or to capitalise on the property’s established short-stay rental income
