10 Barellan St, Caves Beach NSW 2281

Then there's the easy beach access homes, that tend to lack any elevation and deliver very underwhelming beach and ocean views, even though they're close to the water, you don't necessarily see much of it.

Tending to be located on high traffic streets, with minimal privacy, where everyone can see you out on your deck or where you tend to look out over a ton of other people's backyards, with cars constantly driving past or worse still parking outside your home.

A Caves Beach born and bred local, the husband here, knew every street in Caves Beach like the back of his hand and he and his lovely bride had their pick of locations from up North in the Caves Estate and Swansea Heads through to Pinny Beach Estate, but they chose Barellan Street to enjoy the best of both worlds living.

They didn't just choose it once either, having lived and renovated on the same high side of the street previously, when the opportunity presented to build a new home here in the same street, on the same side of the road, but even closer to the main beach access, they jumped on it.

Back then, you could build to 9m and despite the price tag, these owners went for it, chasing as much view as they could get from a sneak peak of the Lake to the extreme North to Blacksmiths Beach and Redhead Bluff, through to Stockton Beach and Mount Tomaree, all the way up at Port Stephens.

The big beach views to Frenchman's famous surf break and breaking waves and sand right out front of the surf club made them feel like they were almost in the water from their decks.

To the south Spoon Rocks Beach and National Park feature, creating a panorama of view you can never grow tired of looking at.

Beyond the views, here, you are just 1 street back from the stairs or driveway access that take you down to our stunning ocean cave and our fabulous, patrolled sand and surf, right out front of the Caves Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

The slope is minimal, and the walk is oh so short, so you can literally be on the sand or in the surf in seconds.

Boasting the best of both world in terms of location, outlook and Northeast aspect, the story only gets better from here.

Unlike so many properties in Caves Beach, this isn't an old house, with all their problems and shortcomings, that's just been renovated.

It is 100% completely a new build.

It isn't just any old project home either, it's architect designed and it's master built.

It wasn't built by any old master builder either, it was built by the most highly accredited builder in the area at that time, whose work was considered synonymous with quality and excellence, a long time local himself, the builder also knew what worked in this coastal environment and what would last.

Designed to take full advantage of the views and aspect, with a timeless look and feel that wouldn't date, using materials and building to a high end quality that would stand the test of time.

Today, you would struggle to get approval to build to 9m here and the price to re-build this home would blow your mind!

Inside the feel is high end, with soaring ceilings and delightful mezzanine style living, where classic blackbutt hardwood timber floorboards and key hardwood accents feature.

The property doesn't feel pretentious or big for the sake of being big, it feels like a home where you live between the beach, your multiple decks front and back and your pool, with delicious places to relax and entertain along the way.

An incredibly welcoming space, inside offers clever living, where you can come together, but also go your own way, with a very generous bedrooms and bathrooms wing, set well away from the master suite and the upper level living, as well as well away from the lower level guests, in laws, or Air BNB accommodation, located on the entry level.

Ahead of its time, it almost emulates an authentic Hamptons beach house look, with the views and decks to match, the original white cladding further adding to the theme, a little more white clad over the quality brick façade or even just some white paint would truly stamp it as classic Hamptons if that's your style ….

The photos tell some of the story, but we could have included 100 photos and still not have properly done this spectacular residence true justice, only an inspection will really reveal the absolute pleasure of how it feels to live here.

In a home that is nothing like anyone else's, in a street where the neighbours are friendly, and the sounds of the surf and beach vistas are your never ending backdrop always ….
