Our top coast and country picks this week

Summer’s here, and while we slow down and get some much needed “R&R”, you may be thinking about where you’re planning your holidays.

When travelling, many of us also wonder what it would be like to live there, in a beachside town or country escape, year-round.

If you’re searching for a holiday home or lifestyle change, here is a selection of coast and country picks currently on the market to help get you started.

Denhams Beach

203 Beach Road

Agent: Blackshaw Coastal, Pat Jameson 0405 442 905

You could be spending your mornings, coffee in hand, watching whales or dolphins from this beautifully renovated clifftop home.

Inside, you’ll find a sun-filled open-plan living area with raked ceilings, a Shaker-style kitchen, a cosy dining nook with bay windows, and a covered deck upstairs.

There’s an easy flow to the lush gardens downstairs, plus sweeping ocean views. Three beaches are nearby, and it has strong Airbnb potential.
