Between Apollo Bay and the Twelve Apostles lies a little known gem of coastline featuring two of the highest ocean cliffs along mainland Australia: Moonlight Head and Lion Headland.
It’s here, just to the east of Lion Headland, that a rare piece of Victoria’s coastal frontage is offered for sale. This 30-acre (approx) property is for the connoisseur of wild coastal places.
The land lies on the very edge of the Southern Ocean. There are no roads in front – even the Great Ocean Walk winds inland of the property. But a private walking track leads from the house steeply down to a secluded cove, which is swimmable on calm days.
The property has stunning ocean views and a varied natural landscape – from tall eucalypts to deep fern gullies and sheltered clearings. The natural flora and fauna is as varied as the landscape is dramatic.
The two-bedroom house is new and built on two levels. With its clean lines, generous glass windows and wide decks, the architecture is simple but elegant, designed to take advantage of the sweeping blue-water view in all its majestic moods.
Walking tracks within the property lead to the nearby Great Ocean Walk which heads east to Johanna Beach and west to Melanesia Beach.
All this, only 220 kilometers from Melbourne via Colac and Lavers Hill.
