With an outlook over an iconic area of the Victorian coastline, Sea Ranch is a luxuriously appointed, master-built home with dramatic views from every room.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows showcase the home’s position only 50 metres above the ocean, offering 180-degree beach views along the Great Ocean Road from Wye Point to Kennett River and beyond.

Sea Ranch has been featured in numerous magazines, on Channel 9’s postcards, and also appears in the latest edition of the coffee table book 'Coastal homes of the world' by Monique Butterworth.

Agent Michael Coutts of Great Ocean Road Real Estate told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS, “This is the best-built property offered for sale in Wye River for two decades. The combination of fantastic ocean views, quality construction, and lucrative holiday rental return will command buying interest.” 

The home was designed and built by Darryl Turnbull of Intraland Pty Ltd, who has been designing high-end architectural residences in Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges for the last 25 years. 

According to Darryl, it took years to find the perfect site for Sea Ranch. “I was very site specific; it needed an ocean and beach view and must include waves crashing on rocks and ideally a headland view,” he said. "This area of the coast between Lorne and Apollo Bay, being rugged and secluded, offered the best opportunities.” 

The beach and town centre, including the renowned Wye River Hotel and the Wye River General Store and Café, are within strolling distance. 

With the perfect site found, Darryl says the design vision was “to construct a visually stimulating monolithic structure”. The home’s use of natural materials and colour palette allow it to blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

Darryl says the “great pleasure” derived in building Sea Ranch has since inspired him to design and build two other beachfront homes in Wye River. 

“As a builder, I have had the pleasure of constructing these homes to their true design intent, which is sometimes muddled or compromised when passed from architect through to builder.”

“Although myself and my family love and will miss Sea Ranch, it is time to write another chapter in our lives,” he concluded.
