TO BE SOLD WITH AN APPROVED PLANNING PERMIT FOR A SECOND DWELLING.
First time on the market, this is an extraordinary chance to place yourself seemingly on top of the world, in total privacy, forever. The Eyrie, nestled high on the ridge over Skenes Creek, is your dream come true.
This lofty sanctuary is perfect for a quieter pace of family living. Its sweeping, split-level design creates special spaces for solo soul-searching, romantic musing, fireside gathering, or working if needs be.
And nothing compares to its absolute bird’s eye view of the great blue ocean, the Apollo Bay Township and coastline, and the generous native bushland that feathers the surrounding hillsides.
Centred on almost 11 hectares of combined natural bush and cleared land, The Eyrie features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge open plan living area, a local Blackwood timber kitchen and bathrooms and all the utilities that enhance modern living.
Extensive decking areas and floor to ceiling glazing exploit the vantage position to perfection, allowing enjoyment of the vistas in total privacy – not another soul within sight: just you, the views and the birdlife.
Special features include a fully-glazed atrium shower, soaring cathedral ceilings, a paved, north facing courtyard and a stunningly different view from every room. Behind the house the diverse garden provides colour shelter and seclusion.
Currently grazing sheep, the pasture presents varied options. A substantial, concrete floored workshop and office of 8x15m, is well separated from the house and suitable for many uses. Between the paddocks are forested gullies with protected rainforest and a beautiful waterfall.
The Eyrie also comes with a current planning permit for an additional unit to be built on the property if desired. This is a unique development option, as permits in this area for additional units on one title are now unlikely to succeed, due to a tightening of planning regulations. It would be well suited to provide holiday rental income to the purchaser.
When you want to reconnect with the world (or the ocean), the Skenes Creek surf beach is just a short 5 minute drive away and the many delights of Apollo Bay are five minutes further along the Great Ocean Road. Because The Eyrie is situated on Skenes Creek Road, the main access to Apollo Bay, it is that much closer to Geelong (1 & 1/4 hrs) and Melbourne (2 hrs), a key feature for those who need to maintain regular contact with the city.
Seclusion and solitude… in reach of the world (when you feel like it). It is the sense of space at The Eyrie that dissolves the jaded feelings which come from the outside world.
