Set among the dunes with uninterrupted views to the ocean, this award-winning home by Todd Grey Builders is an architectural triumph—recognised at the Master Builders House of the Year Awards with multiple regional accolades, including New Home over $4 million, the Interior Design Award, and Environmental & Sustainable Excellence.

Designed by Sumich Chaplin and brought to life with interiors by Venia Design, the home balances grandeur with sensitivity to its coastal surroundings. A double-height glazed entry opens into the heart of the home, where every detail has been carefully considered—including the flooring.

Across the main living spaces, Vidaspace Venture Plank in 'Unity' (a bespoke, UV-oiled timber) brings warmth and character. This beautifully finished engineered timber anchors the interiors with natural variation and a soft, coastal tone. The showstopping custom staircase in the same Vidaspace plank is beautifully designed with an offset style creating a grand entrance to the upper area of the home and ensuring the cohesive transition from floor to stair.

In the bedrooms, luxurious 7 star Signature’s Nobby wool carpet in colour 'Fennel' adds texture and comfort underfoot, Nobby is a 100% undyed wool and with a 10mm loop pile creates an organic textural look combined with the ultimate in comfort underfoot. A custom canvas-bound rug in the same finish features in the guest and pool house. Subtle, refined, and crafted for durability, these selections allow the architecture and furnishings to shine while supporting the home’s earthy palette.

The house is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with extensive decks, sheltered patios and green space extending from every room. On the lower level, a wine cellar, surfboard room, and six-car garage are cleverly tucked out of sight. A self-contained pool house sits discreetly to the rear—perfect for guests and sunny afternoon retreats.

From its recycled materials to its solar panels and clever passive design, this 696sqm home is a true showcase of craftsmanship, sustainability, and liveable luxury.
