Dreaming of a secluded hideaway where you can escape the daily grind? The Eyrie, nestled high in the hills 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 or fireside gathering.
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 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 courtyard and a stunningly different view from every room. Behind the house the diverse garden provides colour and shelter.
Currently grazing sheep, the pasture invites a variety of uses. A substantial workshop and office, 8X15m, is there if you need it. Between the paddocks are forested gullies with protected rainforest and a beautiful waterfall.
When you want to reconnect with the world (or the ocean), Skenes Creek 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 and Melbourne, 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). Surely you can reach up and touch heaven from here.
Inspect The Eyrie and see for yourself what heaven looks like.
