The Rob Mills’ designed house at 2A Tradewinds Ave, Lorne, has uninterrupted ocean and bush views.
A luxury beach house that featured in the acclaimed drama series Fake, starring Asher Keddie and David Wenham, has hit the market in Lorne.
Prominent architect Rob Mills originally designed the striking Ocean House has a holiday home for his own family and friends.
He sold the six-bedroom, five-bathroom hideaway at 2A Tradewinds Ave, Lorne, for $4.8m in November, 2020, during the height of the Covid coastal price boom.

It’s now back on the market with $4m to $4.4m price hopes through Great Ocean Road Real Estate, Lorne agent Karen Stribling.
The home’s bold concrete form, sweeping ocean and bushland views has made the 1.29ha property a high-earning holiday rental.
Its scenic private setting also drew Fake producers when scouting locations for the 2024 television series.
Described as “one of Australia's finest beachside residences”, the tri-level house throws convention out the window with curved bedrooms and sculptural concrete walls.
A circular rooftop sun terrace with an outdoor bath is its crowning glory.
Wraparound decks provide a stunning view towards Lorne.
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames views from every angle.
Ms Stribling said the beachside home, positioned on an unusually large town allotment, had been perfectly sited to maximise both privacy and perspective.
“The front of the home presents a clean, elegant look – but the moment you step inside, it’s absolutely breathtaking; a real piece of art,” she said.
“It’s got a beautiful mix of timber and concrete and, in particular, his architecture has a real distinct style,” Ms Stribling said.
“You’ve got expansive glass that draws your gaze straight to the ocean, and at the rear, a beautifully private bushscape — it’s like living inside an oil painting.”
The circular rooftop deck is a standout feature of the Rob Mills design.
A curved feature wall is the centrepiece of the living room.
Stucco matched to the bark colour of surrounding trees, limed blackbutt ceilings and rustic concrete benches are among bespoke details that earned the house a swag of interior design awards.
There’s even a round bed in the circular main bedroom suite.
“It is being sold with most of the furniture. Basically everything has been designed to fit the particular space,” Ms Stribling said.
“With two full kitchens and a self-contained guest wing, the house works perfectly as either a multi-generational holiday home, a full-time residence, or a desired holiday rental. It’s only 100m from the water, tucked away in a quieter part of town.”
