Metres from Whale Beach comes this expansive 3-storey home.
Perched on a dazzling north aspect from an exclusive oceanfront position comes this rare opportunity to own a luxurious and contemporary residence in Whale Beach.
Offering clean lines and elegant interiors that are bathed in sunlight, the three-level 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4-car garage home frames the panoramic views across Whale Beach and the Pacific Ocean — views that characterise this quintessential beach house.
Within, the home sees a fluid open-plan layout that seamlessly combines indoors and out through the use of vast decking and lush gardens as an extension of the living space.
The space is anchored by an impressive kitchen that features premium appliances and a butler’s pantry. The result is a home that’s functional in its approach while still breaking into distinct living areas.
The home sees gleaming hardwood floors underfoot and bears witness to custom built-in joinery, gas fireplace and banks of sliding stacker doors that open from end-to-end.
Outside, the decking is extensive, running the full length of the home — in order to soak in those coastal views — there are multiple sitting areas and a fire-pit corner.
The upper-level houses four of the bedrooms and sees the expansive master suite on the corner, the latter complete with a large wrap-around balcony, walk-in-robe and ensuite. Each of the bedrooms opens out to the decking.
On the lower level, which offers access to the sub-floor, comes the fifth, guest bedroom, which is complemented by a wet bar and bathroom alongside the ensuite while an adjoining rumpus (which can be turned into a sixth bedroom) is accompanied by yet another bathroom.
The home is 100-metres from the surf, sand and rockpool and is set in the most exclusive cul-de-sac position on Whale Beach.
The property is listed with David Edwards (+61 415 440 044) of LJ Hooker Palm Beach. Price guide; $14,000,000.

After more than a year, prices have finally levelled out in prime central London, while outer London saw a small uptick in high-end prices from the previous quarter
The first quarter of the year brought some long-awaited signs of recovery in London’s luxury housing market, offering the first positive quarterly price growth since September 2022, according to a report from Savills on Wednesday.
After six consecutive quarterly price falls, luxury home prices in central London levelled out in the first three months of the year, with a 0.1% quarterly uptick in prices. The £3 million to £5 million (US$3.79 million to US$6.32 million) market saw a slightly larger increase of 0.3%.
Outer London’s luxury market saw greater quarterly price growth, with home prices up 0.8%, as some stability returned to mortgage costs and lured more buyers back to the market, according to the report.
All of this is evidence that the market is “in early stages of recovery,” according to Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills.
“The outlook for the housing market has certainly improved, partly because the mortgage market has recovered more quickly than expected,” Cook said in the report. “With the first rate cut rapidly coming into view and recessionary risks easing, greater stability has returned to the cost of mortgage debt, which has positively impacted domestic prime markets, where many buyers rely on borrowing, most notably in leafy outer prime South and West London, as well as the commuter belt.”
Outside of London, prices across the U.K. saw no quarterly growth heading into the beginning of the spring market, which is expected to bring higher levels of buyer activity in many regions.
Suburban regions saw prices dip just 0.1%, while urban areas—like Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, and Bath and Oxford in England—saw prices increase by 0.6%.
Cook said regional buyers are more likely to be concerned about market uncertainty than London buyers in the lead up to the general election.
“As a result, buyers are still expected to be less committed until the dust has settled,” he said.
