“We will miss living here, no doubt.”

This was the owner’s first thought when reflecting on their years living by the riverside in Sandy Bay. And after touring the property, it is easy to see where he is coming from.

No.3/806 Sandy Bay Rd is a phenomenal property in many ways. And it is a totally unique one-off home in one important way: no other home in this enviable enclave was built closer to the river.

The three-level property is for sale with EIS Property’s Nyal Merdivenci and Leonie Nyhouse, who describe it as “exceptional” and a “rare sanctuary where luxury meets the water”.

Mr Merdivenci said being so close to the river is a dream that many people aspire to.

“The outlook is panoramic, it is breathtaking,” he said.

“The lifestyle here is truly something special.”

The owner said the third-level spa room has been a favourite space for relaxation.

“We love it, it is so private, and it has views to die for,” he said.

“In this home, you feel like you are on the water. There are boats sailing daily, races on the weekend, people fishing and kayaking — there is always something to see.”

Only a handful of Sandy Bay properties have their own private boatshed, but this home’s shed comes with a twist.

The owner has designed and built a way to make getting out onto the river as simple, quick and easy as possible.

“I built a launching system with a runway that slides down to the sand. The boat can be winched up or down in minutes,” he said.

“It has been great to have.

“Another thing that we love is how close the house is to the city, but you don’t hear any traffic sounds at all. The only noise you hear is the water and boats.”
