Eight luxury homes with spectacular views currently on the market
The beach, the sand, the ocean has a hold on everyone. For me, it’s a sweet reminder of home, strolling along the shores of Bar Beach on the NSW North Coast – a notion I didn’t know was so special to me until I moved to a place where the closest beach was a 2.5-hour drive away. Now in Sydney, my appreciation runs deep yet the faint smell of salty air still catches me by pleasant surprise.
We live in a country that flexes arguably some of the best waterfront properties in the world. In this final collection of the best prestige homes on the market in 2021, we showcase the cream of the crop, from a sub-penthouse on the seventeenth floor above Port Melbourne Beach, an abode near Adelaide suspended high above the seascape with its own private beach, to an award-winning cliff-side house in Sydney’s east that is a celebration of architecture and curves.
