Cherished Middleton family beach home hits the market after a decade

Built in 2012 by award-winning local builders South Coast Constructions, the beach front masterpiece at 214 Surfers Parade, Middleton is being marketed by Ray White Goolwa | Victor Harbor principal Nathan Fry and co agent Tania Vriends with a price tag between $3.2 million to $3.35 million.

The five-bedroom three-bathroom home is the culmination of owner Gavin and his wife's long-held dream of creating the perfect coastal escape for their family of five.

"We'd been looking for the right block in Middleton for some time," Gavin said.

"When we found this position, we knew it was special.

“We wanted to create something truly unique - a luxury bubble with a beach feel."

Working closely with South Coast Constructions, the couple brought their vision to life through thoughtful design that maximises the ocean outlook.

The lower level was strategically raised to capture beach views, while the upper level features a distinctive curved roofline inspired by the Sydney Opera House - creating an unmistakable silhouette against the coastal skyline.

“We chose beach colours throughout and insisted on double-glazed, tinted windows to maintain comfort year-round while never compromising those views," Gavin said.

“The result is a home that feels connected to the ocean from every angle.”

The property's premium position has 180-degree panoramas stretching from Goolwa Beach across Middleton to Port Elliot.

From their expansive balconies, the family has enjoyed countless sunrises to the North-East behind and spectacular sunsets over the beach and Port Elliot, with front-row seats to the winter migration of Southern Right Whales.

"The standout has always been the upper lounge area," Gavin said.

"Those soaring curved ceilings, the walls of glass, watching the sun set over the ocean - it never gets old."

Engineered timber floors, a gourmet kitchen with Bosch appliances, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, and a gas fireplace are just some of the quality features throughout the property.

The upper master suite captures the prized front position with extraordinary views, while downstairs offers flexible accommodation including three generous bedrooms and a separate living area with kitchenette.

For 13 years, the home has been the backdrop to life's most precious moments including Christmas gatherings, children's birthday celebrations, lazy summer afternoons on the beach, and the house filled to capacity during school holidays.

"Our best times have been those summer holidays with the house full - family, friends, laughter," Gavin said.

“But now our three daughters are moving interstate, pursuing their own adventures.

“We're finding we're just not using it as much as life moves in other directions."
