225 Jarosite Rd, Bells Beach, is on the market for $5.25m to $5.5m.
A secluded Bells Beach hideaway owned by a succession of surf and skate industry heavyweights has hit the market on the Surf Coast.
Former champion skateboarder and co-founder of Globe International Peter Hill is among those who have left their mark on the 4.13ha bushland sanctuary.
He installed a skate ramp alongside the striking three-bedroom house that’s topped with a surf check tower.

The property is just moments from Bells Beach.
The teepee has previously been a popular holiday accommodation listing.
Natural Real Estate, Torquay listing agent Shaun O’Callaghan said the viewing room was “possibly the best home office on the coast”.
But you don’t need to venture up there to get a glimpse of the waves – it’s also possible to do a surf check from the comfort of the main bedroom.
Mr O’Callaghan has set a $5.25m to $5.5m price guide for the property at 225 Jarosite Rd, Bells Beach, which includes a teepee, self-contained studio and a natural amphitheatre that’s played host to small concerts.
He said it offered an incredible private oasis on the doorstep of the famous Bells Beach surf break, as well quieter Southside beach and the Ironbark Basin nature trail.
“The obvious standout is the location, with the proximity to Bells and the views to the northeast,” he said.
The kitchen has a timber breakfast bar and premium appliances.
A wood heater adds to the cosy vibe inside.
Covered decks wraparound the living area.
“It’s rare you obtain a view of that significance and also remain sheltered and protected from some of the prevailing winds.
“Some properties see the ocean but then others, of course, get the breaking waves and full connection to the surf.
“It’s not just a property for surfers but interestingly the historical ownership has always been surfers or people from the surf industry.”
He declined to comment on current ownership of the property.
Kangaroos are often spotted grazing outside the 1990s house, which is elevated atop repurposed telephone poles.
Wake up to this view every day.
The ensuite bathroom is bathed in natural light.
High timber ceilings, extensive glazing and wraparound decks reinforce the connection to nature inside the open-plan living area.
Even the spa bath in the main bedroom’s ensuite has an ocean view.
“The original owner was a hardcore surfer and also connected to what was on offer there so didn’t want to make a statement of the property itself,” Mr O’Callaghan said.
“The architecture is really quite subtle but there’s a lot of personality that goes with it, without it being overstated.”
He said a large shed included a games room and gym, and there was also scope for buyers to infill under the existing house.
