Your own private sanctuary.
This beautiful property will appeal to nature lovers, birders, artists, golfers, homesteaders, environmentalists and anyone concerned about the increasing effects of climate change.
Set in Sea Elephant, within a remarkable conservation landscape, this contemporary home offers something increasingly difficult to find - genuine privacy with the assurance that the surrounding native environment is protected for the future. With its cool King Island climate and abundance of water, the property assures your security and abundance in an uncertain future.
1675 Reekara Road, Sea Elephant, offers slightly more than 51.14 hectares of protected King Island wilderness, of which approximately 48.84 hectares are protected under a conservation covenant, encompassing King Island scrub and King Island blue gum forest. Situated near the Lavinia State Reserve, a RAMSAR site, and Counsel Hill Conservation Area, the property provides habitat for some of King Island's remarkable wildlife, including suitable habitat for the endangered King Island brown thornbill and potential habitat for the critically endangered King Island scrubtit.
Together with the surrounding conservation areas and reserves, the result is an exceptional sense of seclusion - a home within a protected landscape rather than simply a house on acreage.
A 2-ha residential entitlement/use area is excluded from the conservation covenant and includes:
- A well-maintained 2023 house with upstairs en-suite bedroom and deck with gorgeous views, including forest/ocean outlook.
- A spacious downstairs bathroom provides options for guest accommodation – Just add a sleeper couch or two to the large open-plan living area downstairs.
- The pristine kitchen has room enough for an additional island in the centre, should you want one, and includes:
- A well-planned neat laundry
- pantry with ample storage space
- Small shed adjacent to the house currently used to store firewood
- Enclosed garden with doghouse
- Large shed, or double garage with extra space, built in 2024
- 40,000 litre water storage tank
- 3 ML dam
This unique property provides all you need for comfortable living in your own section of paradise where surrounding protected wilderness safeguards the magic. It also places you within easy driving distance of a number of magnificent beaches and 3 of Australia's top golf courses.
An existing approved DA means you have the option to expand your sanctuary to include another large shed, granny flat, and more.
