A minimalist masterpiece just moments from the surf has hit the market in Barwon Heads with a $6m-plus price tag.
The secluded architect-design house with a 25m lap pool is an unparalleled coastal sanctuary with uninterrupted north-facing views stretching to the horizon.
Vendors Alex and Sally Fenton built the two-storey residence at 68 Stephens Pde, Barwon Heads, as a family home almost 17 years ago.

68 Stephens Pde, Barwon Heads, is listed with $6m to $6.6m price hopes.
The first floor balcony has electronically controlled Vergola louvres with rain sensors that trigger a self-closing mechanism.
With their children now grown, they’re moving on from the 1518sq m property positioned in an exclusive strip between 13th Beach and the Barwon Heads Golf Club.
The couple worked with Pad Architects’ Petar Danicic on the timeless concrete, steel and glass construction that nestles into the sloped block.
Deliberately unstated from the streetscape, it opens out to the north where floor-to-ceiling windows on both levels capture views of the pool and surrounding coastal vegetation.
Mr Fenton said on a clear night you could see the lights of the planes landing at Avalon and the You Yangs peak.
“When people come through that door for the first time they literally do the ‘wow’ and you know it’s coming because from the street you can’t see the view,” he said.
“Straight north is just all sky, because the horizon is quite low it’s like floor-to-ceiling sky. It’s just beautiful to watch the storms come in.”
Polished concrete floors feature in the open-plan living area.
The kitchen has Gaggenau, Miele and Liebherr appliances and a stainless steel bench.
The concrete pool has silver tiles, a heat pump, wet edge and retractable hard cover.
A wide balcony runs the full length of the vast open-plan living area on the entry level, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Downstairs, all three bedrooms, the family bathroom and central retreat have direct access to the poolside terrace.
Polished concrete floors with zoned slab heating, Italian light fittings and tiles and high-end Gaggenau, Miele and Liebherr appliances are among standout features.
Bellarine Property, Barwon Heads agent Peta Walter is handling the sale of the property, which has a $6m to $6.6m price guide.
She said the privacy the home offered and the way it sat in the landscape to protect the occupants from the prevailing southerly winds was “just incredible”.
The downstairs living room provides direct pool access.
The spacious family bathroom has dual vanities.
Surf breaks at 13th Beach are just a short walk away.
“Barwon Heads is a relatively flat town, views are really scarce, so for a property to have an uninterrupted view and outlook and to have such a natural view across those trees and through to the golf course is amazing,” she said.
“And then you’ve got incredible assets including the surf beach across the road.”
She said the calibre of surrounding homes and large blocks contributed to the overall appeal of tightly held Stephens Pde.
