Property of the week: 6 Bulkara St, Wagstaffe

Agave may only be six years young, but the glamorous Central Coast beach house is already a record holder two times over.

Crowned HIA-CSR Australian House of the Year in 2018, the Dennis Rabinowitz-designed waterfront residence set a price benchmark for the region in 2020 when it sold for $9.5 million, then again in 2022 after reportedly achieving “well above” its $13.5 million price expectations.

Cathy Baker, principal of Belle Property Central Coast, sold the property each time and has just listed the insta-worthy retreat again with a $16 million guide.

“This is a world class offering. The parcel of land is incredible and it has such a unique north-facing aspect in an exclusive gated community,” Ms Baker said.

“It’s rare to find properties like this one which tick all the boxes for a beautiful home or luxury holiday house.”

Set in the private San Toy Estate on 2188sq m, the Wagstaffe weekender is a sophisticated snapshot of laidback coastal design blending the great outdoors with carefully curated interiors featuring clean white lines and a minimalist palette.

Created for outdoor entertaining on a grand scale, or just lazy days on the water’s edge, Agave’s savvy open-plan design flows freely from three separate living zones onto alfresco decks a lanai-style internal courtyard with welcoming palm trees and feature tiles.

The grand central deck is focussed on capturing the tranquil water outlook and has an integrated barbecue area with ample room for all year round dining or soaking up the sun by the saltwater pool or private sandy beach.

Boating enthusiasts can pull right up to the jetty with deepwater mooring suitable for a super yacht or luxury cruiser while a separate deck is home to a private boathouse retreat that is ideal for yoga or meditation. There is also plenty of space for kayaks and stand up paddleboards.

At the heart of the home an open plan dining area takes centre stage and the state of the art kitchen has sleek marble bench tops, high-end appliances and a big butler’s pantry.

The indulgent seven-bedroom layout features five deluxe ensuites including a luxury hotel-inspired primary suite on the ground floor privately positioned away from the main living areas and other bedrooms. A second level houses six more bedrooms including a bunk room, ideal for multiple family getaways.

Previously listed as a luxury holiday rental earning in excess of $4000 a night, Agave can sleep up to 14 people comfortably, and with multiple entertaining areas and lounging spaces there is a place for everyone to retreat to inside and out.

In addition to landscaped gardens, there is a a top-of-the-line security system, air-conditioning and a double lock-up garage.

Agave is close to Lobster Beach, the Palm Beach and Ettalong ferries and the Bouddi National Park.
