In the realm of Western Australia's most exclusive coastal real estate, one property stands out as truly unique according to industry experts. Ben Stott, Property Partner at The Agency Perth, has sold numerous opulent beachside residences throughout his career, yet he asserts he has never encountered anything quite like this remarkable dwelling at Ocean Beach.
A Property Unlike Any Other
Originally functioning as a museum before its transformation into an impressive mansion, this residence occupies an expansive 8870 square metre landholding positioned directly at the water's edge. Mr Stott emphasises that what makes this property exceptionally special extends beyond its pristine coastal beauty to include its versatile zoning classification.
"Having the property zoned tourism really does just open up a lot of opportunities for potential buyers," Mr Stott explained. "This unique designation creates multiple possibilities that simply aren't available with standard residential properties."
Dual Living and Business Potential
The property's current configuration demonstrates its flexible nature perfectly. The north wing operates successfully as a bed and breakfast establishment, while the south wing provides ideal owner occupancy quarters. This arrangement allows for various operational models depending on the purchaser's preferences and business aspirations.
Mr Stott elaborated on the possibilities: "There are various opportunities available, including running it as continuous short-stay accommodation or changing it into a separate business altogether. The tourism zoning provides commercial flexibility while maintaining residential comfort."
Architectural Grandeur and Design
Upon entering the property, visitors encounter an elegant entryway featuring richly coloured wood flooring that leads into a central corridor serving as the home's primary hub. This corridor concludes in a comfortable sitting room positioned opposite the entrance, with a sunroom located to the far right.
The sleeping arrangements demonstrate exceptional quality throughout, with three of the six bedrooms arrayed around the sunroom area. Double doors to the left open to reveal the south wing, which contains three additional bedrooms alongside numerous communal living spaces.
"Four of the bedrooms have their own private ensuites and all have beautiful high ceilings," Mr Stott noted. "They're just huge rooms, which could all be classified as master bedrooms. They're grand, every one."
Entertainment and Living Spaces
The property caters excellently to both intimate gatherings and larger events. Among the sleeping quarters, residents will find an enclosable retreat and lounge room perfect for smaller social occasions. Upstairs, a long gallery space serves multiple purposes as either a games room or library, with its elevated position making it ideal for hosting formal events.
At the far left of the layout, an open-plan living area remains constantly prepared for hosting guests. The kitchen showcases an attractive yet practical design featuring stone benchtops, European appliances, and a convenient walk-in pantry. Adjacent to this, the dining area provides a relaxing environment where occupants can enjoy meals while taking in views of leafy trees and glimpses of water.
Outdoor Living and Location Advantages
Mr Stott highlighted that the home's outdoor spaces rival its interior for both entertainment potential and relaxation opportunities. These exterior areas include a glorious bar-style cabana complete with a balcony that overlooks softly lapping waves.
"There are verandahs on three sides of the home, so even if it's raining, you have areas where you can sit outside, where you're protected and can enjoy the sights," Mr Stott described. "There are multiple zones and sitting areas to take in all the different aspects."
The property's location represents one of its most significant assets according to the selling agent. "Ocean Beach is probably the most sought-after area in Denmark," Mr Stott stated. "You cannot get this block of land again in Ocean Beach with these kinds of views. It's elevated and private."
He further emphasised the seclusion and vistas: "You don't have any neighbours around you whatsoever, and you just have the most amazing uninterrupted view of the inlet and beach."
Property Specifications
The dwelling at 694 Ocean Beach Road, Ocean Beach offers substantial accommodation with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The property comes to market with a price guide starting from $3.95 million. Ben Stott of The Agency Perth serves as the listing agent, available for enquiries at 0414 354 515.
