Exceptional Beachfront Sanctuary in Paton’s Rock
Set in the highly sought-after Paton’s Rock area of Golden Bay, this exceptional coastal property offers an extraordinary combination of beachfront, privacy, lifestyle and space with direct frontage to one of the region’s most beautiful and celebrated stretches of coastline.
Spanning 10 acres, the property enjoys 150 metres of private beachfront with riparian rights, creating a rare and deeply personal connection to the sea. Paton’s Rock Beach, renowned as a favourite destination for beach horse riding, lies directly at the property’s edge.
Near the water sits a charming three-bedroom character cottage, surrounded by established gardens, mature fruit trees and grazing paddocks. Offering versatility for guests, extended family or additional income, the cottage adds another dimension to this remarkable coastal holding.
From the shoreline, the land gently rises through a diverse landscape of grazing paddocks, native bush, tranquil ponds and established gardens. Private walking tracks weave throughout the property, connecting the natural surroundings with the homes and creating a sense of discovery at every turn.
Positioned at the upper reaches of the property, the architecturally designed main residence takes full advantage of its elevated setting, with spectacular 180-degree ocean views across Golden Bay.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed coastal living, with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area complemented by a separate media room. Extensive wraparound decking extends the living space outdoors, providing an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the ever-changing coastal outlook.
Surrounding the residence are beautifully established terraced gardens, a glasshouse and an abundance of fruit trees, all connected by walking tracks through the property’s native bush. A newly constructed double three-sided shed, generous parking and a substantial turning area add practicality to what is otherwise an exceptionally private and beautiful setting.
