16 Laker Drive, Point Lonsdale, Vic 3225

Look forward to a lifestyle of coastal ease and natural beauty with this enchanting timber-clad beach house, privately set in blue-chip Old Lonsdale, a stroll from the shoreline.

North-facing and set within a 534sqm (approx.) poolside garden with direct access to Ganes Reserve, this beautifully updated four-bedroom home is an elevated coastal sanctuary, capturing enchanting outlooks across the surrounding dunes towards the iconic Point Lonsdale Lighthouse. Combined with sound of crashing waves and a gentle chorus of frogsong, the setting delivers a rare sense of privacy, tranquillity and connection to nature.

Designed over two levels with separate zones for parents, children and guests, this functional family home is enriched with timber flooring, high ceilings, and glazing that draws the outdoors in at every opportunity.

The open-plan living and dining zone is warmed by a Nectre slow-combustion wood heater, creating a cosy heart of the home for relaxed evenings or lively gatherings. A stone-topped kitchen with walk-in pantry, Smeg oven, Westinghouse cooktop and Miele dishwasher makes entertaining effortless, as does the undercover alfresco deck that spans the full length of the house.

Host guests beside the heated swimming pool/spa overlooking beautifully landscaped coastal gardens, while beyond the expansive deck, panoramic dune vistas and glimpses of the iconic Point Lonsdale Lighthouse create an ever-changing backdrop to outdoor living. Or linger under the stars around the fire pit area, with an outdoor shower for a refreshing rinse after a day at the beach.

The main bedroom suite enjoys its own private connection to the outdoors, with sliding doors opening directly to the deck, and a walk-in robe and a skylit ensuite completing this calm retreat.

Two additional bedrooms share a central bathroom and a separate living space, ideal for teenagers or peaceful downtime, while downstairs, a cleverly zoned guest suite with built-in robes and its own bathroom offers wonderful flexibility for visiting friends and family.

Step out the back gate and you’re on Ganes Reserve, with winding pathways leading past the lake, playground and Tennis Club towards the rolling waves and rockpools of Back Beach, just 300m from your back door. The Surf Club (350m), Lonsdale Links Golf Club (1.2km) and the village shops (1km) are all conveniently close by.

Comfort and practicality are well covered with hydronic heating, a secure double carport, a storage shed and under-house storage for surfboards and beach gear.

A rare blend of privacy, tranquillity and seaside convenience, this is a home made for slow mornings, salty afternoons and the sound of the surf at the end of the day.
