Overview
Perched on an elevated hillside ridge, this executive residence commands sweeping ocean views that stretch across passing ships, Facing Island, and Gatcombe Heads. The distinctive location in Sun Valley offers a tranquil, private setting with a genuine sense of separation from the surrounding neighbourhood, while remaining central to Gladstone and close to all amenities.
The home’s design thoughtfully capitalises on its enviable position, welcoming natural light and ocean breezes through a private and secure Crim-safe entrance. This approach marries security with an open, airy atmosphere, setting the tone for the rest of the residence. Native plants and flowering gardens enhance the front yard’s inviting appeal, echoing the easy-care lifestyle that continues throughout the property.
Inside, the generous open-plan living area immediately draws the eye to a spectacular wall of windows framing the panoramic ocean vista. Bamboo flooring flows throughout the home, creating a seamless and timeless aesthetic that connects living spaces with the bedrooms. The living and dining areas are cleverly tiered with tiled flooring and equipped with electric shutters, providing flexibility for storage and climate control. A glass sliding door provides access to outdoor gardens, further extending the usable living space.
At the heart of the home, a sleek black and white galley-style kitchen impresses with ample storage, a thick stone bench island, and premium Miele appliances including a pyrolytic self-cleaning oven and induction cooktop. Designed for both functionality and style, this kitchen facilitates effortless entertaining and daily living.
The primary bedroom suite offers uninterrupted ocean views complemented by louvers for natural ventilation, split system air-conditioning, and generous storage through sliding robes with roller blinds providing privacy and shade. The two additional bedrooms provide leafy outlooks and maintain the seamless bamboo flooring theme, creating comfortable retreats for family members or guests.
Adding to the home’s appeal is an ultra-modern bathroom featuring a large open shower with waterfall showerhead, double basins, and a wall-height vanity, all finished with contemporary touches for both luxury and convenience.
Utility spaces include a dedicated laundry with abundant storage, built-in bench, and direct access to the side yard, enhancing everyday functionality. The double lock-up garage includes additional storage cabinets and a third roller door leading to a covered cemented outdoor area, a versatile blank canvas suitable for boat or trailer storage or an outdoor entertaining zone.
Throughout, insulation and the surrounding sea breezes combine to maintain comfortable temperatures year-round. The backyard offers a low-maintenance, thoughtfully designed garden with a mix of native plants, pollinator-friendly vegetation, structured planter beds for crops, and a secure dog pen, providing outdoor enjoyment without the need for extensive upkeep.
This unique property perfectly balances high-end living with ease of maintenance, offering a rare opportunity in one of the region's most desirable elevated positions.
