Welcome to The Sanctuary.

Some properties are built.
Others are patiently created.
Over the past 24 years, this extraordinary coastal sanctuary has evolved into something almost impossible to recreate today. Every pathway, every garden room, every carefully chosen material and every considered improvement has contributed to a property that offers not simply a home, but an entirely different way of living.
Tucked away in complete privacy, overlooking protected QEII Natural Trust native bush with views towards the Tasman Sea, this remarkable estate offers a level of peace that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Wake to birdsong, fall asleep listening to the distant ocean, and enjoy sunsets from a home designed to embrace its natural surroundings.
The beautifully renovated residence combines timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort.
Custom handcrafted cabinetry, retrofitted McNaughton double glazed joinery, Jarrah timber flooring, cedar detailing, natural stone, marble, and terracotta handcrafted tiles create a home of warmth, texture and enduring quality. Large opening windows and doors dissolve the line between indoors and out, connecting beautifully to covered verandas and spectacular views.
Comfort has been equally well considered, with discreet ducted heating and cooling, Starlink internet, integrated networking throughout the estate, CCTV covering the entrance and grounds, extensive outdoor lighting, generous water storage, and more than three kilometres of irrigation supporting one of the most remarkable private gardens in the region.
Beyond the main residence, the opportunities continue.
A beautifully converted cottage now provides an exceptional work-from-home environment complete with office, private two-seat movie theatre and bathroom, while retaining the plumbing beneath the floor should future owners wish to reimagine the space. A separate gym and sauna mean you can enjoy wellness at home, while the substantial barn and workshop offer excellent flexibility for hobbies, storage, creative projects, or potential future accommodation, subject to any required approvals.
The grounds are unlike anything most buyers will have experienced.
An established coastal microclimate, with no recorded frost in 24 years, has allowed the cultivation of an extraordinary botanical collection. Wander more than three kilometres of private walking tracks through approximately 135 species of palms, mature tropical and subtropical gardens, rare specimen trees and an impressive collection of productive plantings including bananas, avocados, macadamias, coffee, guavas, pineapples and jackfruit.
Adding another dimension to this offering is the flexibility of the landholding.
The home is offered together with an adjoining 1.437-hectare title, creating a combined holding of approximately 3.437 hectares across two separate titles. Retain the additional land for privacy, build for extended family (subject to any necessary approvals), hold it as a long-term investment, or explore selling it separately in the future.
Should you wish to create an estate of even greater scale, the adjoining 1.425-hectare Lot 1 is also available for purchase. Securing all three titles would create an exceptional holding of almost five hectares, presenting a rare opportunity to shape one of South Head's most significant private lifestyle estates. View the separate listing for Lot 1, 789 Wilson Road for further information.
Properties like this are exceptionally rare because they cannot simply be purchased and replicated. They are the product of vision, patience and decades of careful stewardship.
Now, with the owners embarking on an overseas move, this remarkable sanctuary is ready for its next custodians.
