The architect-designed residence is built on the headland garden of Careel House.
The land was subdivided in the early 1990s.
Justin’s favourite spot is the north-facing family room.
Justin’s son Phillip says the owners of Careel House subdivided the land in the early 1990s and his father snapped it up, loving its privacy, views and position surrounded by nature.
“You wouldn’t be able to build that property again, council wouldn’t allow it,” he explains.
Justin’s favourite spot is the north-facing family room but the whole family appreciates the five-car garage and off-street parking.
The views can never be built out.
Nature lovers would adore this house.
There are four bedrooms.
“I can see an artistic person, an author, painter or nature lover liking this house with its views all around and no one driving past or walking past the window,” Phillip says.
No.105 Whale Beach Rd is a two-storey house built on concrete with a northerly aspect and expansive windows.
B.J. Edwards, of LJ Hooker Palm Beach, says the views can never be built out, access is via Rayner Rd and the property is in an exclusive enclave.
