18 Lighthouse Road, Port Macquarie, NSW 2444

Blue water. Green canopy. And remarkably little distance between the two.

Here, two very different landscapes shape the same address. Rainforest gathers behind the home in dense layers, filling windows with foliage and giving the rear of the property a wonderful sense of seclusion. Yet approximately 700m away, the landscape opens completely at Tacking Point Lighthouse and the patrolled southern end of Lighthouse Beach.

Between the two, 18 Lighthouse Road occupies a particularly compelling piece of the Lighthouse lifestyle. And the house has the scale to match its setting. Six bedrooms, including a self-contained studio, combine with multiple living areas across several levels, creating a home with the capacity to accommodate a large family, several generations, guests and changing needs, while still allowing everyone their own space.

The location makes everyday life equally appealing. Tacking Point Surf Life Saving Club is also approximately 700m from home, putting the patrolled beach, cafe and bar within easy reach. Tacking Point Public School is around 850m away, while Lighthouse Beach Shopping Village is approximately 1.6km from the door, with cafes, restaurants, takeaway, convenience shopping, butcher, bottle shop and post office.

Inside, timber floors bring warmth to the main living level, where the lounge sits separately from the dining area and kitchen. An additional room with its own ensuite adds another layer of flexibility, working beautifully as a second master bedroom or guest suite, while just as readily lending itself to a media room or more private living space.

The kitchen is generous and contemporary, with an oversized island, extensive white cabinetry, neutral stone benchtops, dishwasher and dual-fuel upright cooker. A wide stretch of glazing above the benchtop looks directly into the greenery outside, while the adjoining dining alcove enjoys the same leafy outlook.

The rainforest becomes an even greater presence outdoors. A covered timber deck runs along the rear of the home, sitting above the swimming pool and spa, and among the surrounding canopy. Sheltered and wonderfully private, it is a space that feels removed from the world beyond, whether used for a quiet morning coffee, long lunches or an evening spent outside.

Occupying its own upper level, the main suite is less a bedroom than a private retreat. Its proportions are exceptional, with huge picture windows bringing the rainforest canopy almost into the room and a generous sleeping zone that leads through to the ensuite. Here, a freestanding bath sits beneath windows overlooking the trees, accompanied by twin vanities, an oversized double shower and separate toilet. A separate study nook and substantial fitted dressing room complete this private level, each enjoying its own defined space within the suite.

The lower level provides further separation for family life. A large family room is accompanied by three bedrooms and a bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a separate toilet. With its own living zone and accommodation grouped together, this level gives children, teenagers or visiting family room to spread out.

Also incorporated within the six bedroom accommodation is the self-contained studio, complete with kitchenette, bathroom and its own external entry. Its independence opens up genuine possibilities for multi-generational living, an adult child, extended stay guests or other arrangements where having a space apart from the main household can make all the difference.

Practical considerations have been well covered too, with air conditioning throughout, ceiling fans, plantation shutters, a security system with cameras, solar panels, battery storage and an EV charger. The double automatic garage has internal access, adding further convenience to a home designed to handle the demands of a larger household.

What makes 18 Lighthouse Road particularly compelling is not simply its size, nor its proximity to the beach. It is the combination of the two, together with a rainforest setting that gives the home an entirely different character.

There is space here for family life to change and expand over time, while beyond the front door, life gravitates naturally towards the coast - morning walks around the lighthouse, an early surf, long beach days, nippers at the surf club and kilometres of shoreline to explore.

With the ocean only a few streets away and rainforest at the rear, it is an extraordinary setting in which to call Lighthouse Beach home.
