Luxurious coastal home with stunning views hits the market

A luxurious four-bedroom home at 15 Fishos Drive, Torquay, designed and built by a local carpenter, has hit the market.

Vendor Alastair said constructing the house was a passion project for him.

“I’ve been a carpenter my whole life, and having the chance to put my passion into my own build has been incredibly rewarding,” he said. “This wasn’t an architect’s or builder’s vision—it was mine, shaped by over 20 years in the construction industry.”

The property offers coastal living with stunning views, designed with attention to every detail. Alastair highlighted the care put into the build, noting the importance of being hands-on throughout the process.

“Being hands-on for the entire build meant I could focus on the little finishing touches that often get overlooked,” he said. “Living here has been amazing. I envisioned a passive solar home on the Surf Coast that maintains a comfortable, moderate temperature year-round, and it’s truly special.”

Spread over two levels, the first floor features three spacious bedrooms with built-in robes, a family bathroom with underfloor heating, and a second living area ideal for a rumpus or games room. The rear of the property includes a fully fenced backyard with a deck and grassed area accessible via stacker doors.

The light-filled second level is the heart of the home, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen boasts a stone benchtop, extensive cabinetry, an induction cooktop, two ovens, and an integrated dishwasher. The adjoining balcony, fitted with an outdoor kitchen, offers captivating views of water, the valley, and Spring Creek.

The master bedroom is designed for luxury, featuring views, a large walk-through robe, and an elaborate ensuite with a freestanding bathtub, double shower, and brushed gold tapware. A separate study or fifth bedroom and a powder room complete the upper level.

Additional features include elevated ceilings, split-system heating and cooling, plantation shutters, drapes, dual day and night roller blinds, an oversized double lock-up garage with a built-in workshop, and a luxe laundry with ample storage.

Situated on a 664sqm corner allotment, the property offers ease of access with double gates to the rear yard and additional gated access next to the garage for trailer or boat parking.

“Moving from Melbourne to a lifestyle-sized block where kids can ride bikes in the street really sets it apart from suburban living,” Alastair said.

The property, which has a price guide of $1,745,000 to $1,785,000, will be open for inspection tomorrow (Saturday, October 12) from 12 noon to 12.30pm.
