$3,500,000 - $3,700,000
With glorious Swan Bay views and set on a north-facing site capturing the winter sun, this exceptional residence designed by JAK Architecture is a superb new property on the Bellarine Peninsula. Built by Heycon, one of the most highly acclaimed builders on the Peninsula, the home sits quietly within its coastal setting rather than competing with it.
Blackbutt cladding wraps the exterior, designed to soften and silver with age, while handmade Krause clay bricks bring an earthy permanence to the architecture. A deep open cantilevered eave gives the home its defining form, framing broad views across the bay while creating privacy from the street.
Inside, the palette remains deliberately calm. European oak runs underfoot and continues overhead, natural stone introduces subtle movement, and expansive glazing draws northern light deep into the interiors.
The upper level is devoted to living and the outlook. Kitchen, dining and lounge spaces are oriented towards Swan Bay, opening to a broad balcony that places the water firmly at the centre of the experience. A cast iron French wood fire sits against the sculptural brick chimney, adding warmth and texture to an otherwise restrained interior.
The kitchen continues the home’s material language with natural granite benchtops, generous storage and a walk-in pantry, alongside an integrated study nook for everyday functionality.
Also upstairs, the main suite feels private and composed, with balcony access, a walk-in robe and an ensuite finished in granite and porcelain mosaic tile, with underfloor heating and a Neion Plus Intelligent toilet.
Downstairs, three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests, with one equally suited to a second living or rumpus space. A lift connects the two levels, allowing the home to function effortlessly over time.
Outside, a 50sqm crazy-paved terrace extends beneath the upper floor and creates a sheltered entertaining space with built-in barbecue, opening to lawn and landscaped gardens on approximately 464sqm.
The considered approach continues through the home’s performance and comfort, with thermally broken glazing, reverse-cycle heating and cooling and a substantial 19kW solar system.
The 2.5 car garage makes an impression, with sleek epoxy flooring that's as practical as it is striking.
More than a collection of beautiful materials, the strength of the home lies in the way they have been brought together. Timber, clay, stone and glass respond to the tones and textures of the Bellarine, while the precision of the detailing speaks to the close collaboration between architect and builder.
The result is a home that feels both highly resolved and remarkably relaxed. Calm, private and filled with northern light, it has been designed around the rhythm of the bay and the particular qualities of its Queenscliff setting.
With the village, beach and waterfront close by, 5 Dod Street offers a rare expression of contemporary coastal architecture in one of the Bellarine Peninsula’s most tightly held locations.
