The first re-sale opportunity of the ‘Steven Last’ designed, much loved and admired Apollo Bay district properties. They mimic the shape of the Stingrays externally. But internally (and particularly the entrance levels) they suggest the below deck areas of a Galleon. With:
- Walls not always straight, but curving subtly upward and outward to generate a stretched and spacious building
- Hinged roofline curves and odd wall angling creating excellent internal volume
- Central glass-enclosed sitting space on the first floor, which very deliberately mimics the beak of a stingray!
- The upstairs, open plan living / dining / kitchen with the rear north facing verandah offering a spacious and protected entertaining area

The design and orientation maximise views from all living and sleeping areas. The view you take in is 180 degrees with aspects of open blue waters as well as the Great Ocean Road, the beaches, Skenes Creek & the green and grazed hills of the Apollo Bay town.

The upper living room, with its quarterdecks of zoned living, with an impressive flight of stairs, made of pale marine ply and surrounded by a clear glass balustrade, leading to the first floor ascending into a spectacular beach and sea view.

Downstairs is combined with subtle curves of walls seen to belly out, the galleon illusion is fully realised. The walls again feature marine ply surfaces and doors to three bedrooms, the bathroom and laundry suggest cabin doors. With each bedroom consuming a different slice of the view through floor to ceiling windows and the main bedroom offering a discreet en suite tucked behind it.
Last’s vision of low maintenance with external robust material – the external cladding is a New Zealand plywood that has been freshly stained to resist the salt air.
Window frames are galvanised and rust resistant and the glass is special extra thick Pilkington glass with special heat / UV resistant properties.

The property also features an enclosed fully fenced private courtyard.

The position is certainly something to behold – situated directly across the road from the beach and only 5 minutes from the town centre of Apollo Bay in an exclusive private estate with unique landscaping integrating the coast and the forest.

An inspection of this architectural masterpiece will certainly offer nothing before seen on the Victorian Coastline.
