Port Coogee

If you’re considering building your dream home, chances are you’ve been dreaming away for a while now.

You can visualise the chef’s kitchen – with the enormous walk in pantry, the al fresco area where you’ll be wine-ing and dining friends throughout the summer, oh and of course the fabulous master suite with that dressing room , the one that would make the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker envious. It’s possible though that the exact location of that stunning dream home is still a little unclear? If that’s the case and you’re still researching land options then there’s one Perth estate that should be at the top of your to view list…

Just a few minutes south of Fremantle, this exclusive coastal neighbourhood offers one of the most unique opportunities to enjoy a waterfront lifestyle within the Perth metropolitan area.

Spanning more than 85 hectares and overlooking the stunning waters of Cockburn Sound, this $2 billion residential project has won multiple awards including the 2012 National Awards for Environmental Excellence and Best Residential Development; 2013 Western Australia Award for Urban Water Excellence;

and Winner of the Property Council of Australia Innovation & Excellence Awards 2013 for Best Master Planned Community.

Given the awards, it’s no surprise that the demand for this waterfront property literally reached record highs. When 28 blocks on the Peninsula were first released in 2007 the auction yielded $78million for developer Australand – believed to be the highest value ever achieved for a single project auction in Australia.

Attended by AFL footballers, local high flyers and international investors the 800 strong bidders, demonstrated the demand for this exclusive coastal neighbourhood. The most coveted block was a 509 sqm block on the corner of the Peninsula which offered panaromic ocean and island views and achieved an impressive sale price, just shy of $4million.

At the heart of the design for the Port Coogee waterfront estate was the desire to develop a community that would offer a lifestyle in itself. This exclusive coastal estate effortlessly brings together café’s restaurants, shops, and a waterside amphitheatre. This luxurious neighbourhood also incorporates parkland, family friendly beaches and continues the bike path that runs along the coast and extends to Woodman Point.

Although the initial Peninsula lots were quickly snapped up, good news for those still interested in exclusive waterfront property is the new release lots that are available on Seaspray Island.

Seaspray Island has been likened to the world-famous and award winning One (degree) 15 Marina Club in Singapore, one of Asia’s finest marina clubs and it offers discriminating buyers an exclusive opportunity to be a part of this stunning coastal community via a striking 24 metre bridge. Lots on Seaspray Island are currently available from $2.1million and include their own private boat mooring.
