Landmark beach home overlooking Johanna

Johanna is a special part of our pristine coastline where the rolling hills and lush rainforest meet at the foot of the wild Southern Ocean.

The surf beach at Johanna is world renowned, and with all the Otways has on offer at your doorstep, Johanna has become a highly sought destination for home buyers and holidaymakers alike.

Properties in this patch rarely come to market, but when they do, they attract a great deal of interest from around Australia and the world.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate has listed an absolutely stunning Johanna home perched confidently within the foothills of the valley, making for a truly picture perfect setting.

This acutely desirable, absolute beachfront residence has a commanding presence with amazing views of rolling hills, Southern Ocean and beyond.

Sculpted design by Mark Gratwick and featured in Australia’s Best Beach Houses publication, the home is avant-garde with its angular roof line, set on slightly undulating topography of the land.

The raised roof allows a greater panoramic view thanks to its razor edge soaring towards the sky.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate director Darren Brimacombe said both the home and the outlook are just spectacular.

“Approaching the home, entering the home, and admiring the home from within is just awe inspiring,” Mr Brimacombe said.

“The architect, builder and home owners have created a masterpiece that complements the environment in which it is nestled.

“Properties are so tightly held here they rarely come to market, with this listing the only one on the market in Johanna at the moment.”

Highly influenced by the geometric form, this home exhibits some of the best views available across the Southern Ocean and Johana beach.

Nestled on approximately two hectares, the position of the house reflects the best choice in viewing position, surrounded by the native landscape design gardens with abundant wildlife and fauna.

A series of external cladding materials topped by the distinctive roof, high ceilings and extensive glazing providing a safe haven from the wonders of the Southern Ocean, at all times maintaining direct visual connection to the view outside.

The combination of contemporary, rural and beachside elements gives the home a unique and eclectic charm. In addition to its large glass windows, high level clerestory glazing allows the ingress of north winter sun, effectively warming the home.

The home has been creatively zoned into pods, unified by the roof forms and utilising the natural slope of the site through internal steps.

Colours, textures and materials were all chosen to assimilate with the seaside environment, the base structure comprises of timber and steel framing all anchored both visually and structurally to the central stone room, a dividing element within, in addition acting as a heat bank, capturing the sun through a glazed entry way.

The flooring is a beautifully dressed recycled timber that has been used throughout.

The kitchen is an entertainer’s delight; a 2.6 metre stone-top bench is a pivotal point to see the view and also the practicality of cooking.

The step down living room and stone fireplace create an atmosphere of amazement of both view and practicality. With three large bedrooms, the main bedroom sits comfortably gazing at this breathtaking vista, with walk-in robe and large ensuite and spa overlooking the view.
