For the first time in over 100 years, landmark property - Rocky Point - has been listed for sale. Positioned on the clifftop of South Australia's idyllic Kangaroo Island with direct access to 7 kilometres of pristine white sand beach, oceanfront living doesn't get much better than this.

Rocky Point was first commissioned by Supreme Court Judge Sir John Gordon over a century ago, officially built in 1908 before later being acquired by the prolific Dutton family a decade later; the latter having retained ownership throughout the 20th century into present day. According to The Australian, they will not be entertaining any offers below $8.5 million - and for good reason.

Spread across 5.21 hectares, aside from the stunning view of Eastern Cove (which is actually a north-facing bay) and a majestic presence, it offers:

  • 6 x bedrooms
  • 2 x bathrooms
  • 1 x sitting room
  • 1 x dining room
  • 1 x modern kitchen w/ pantry
  • 2 x cellars
  • 1 x 2-car garage

... "meticulously maintained" and "artfully updated" where appropriate, according to the official listing.

Navigate beyond its verandah down the limestone steps and you'll encounter some additional necessities to accompany a residence of this calibre/geography. There's quite a large boatshed for all your nautical bits and bobs, a beachfront boathouse for your larger nautical bits and bobs (i.e. at least two boats), as well as offshore mooring.

“Rocky Point is truly a one-off property without peer – there is nothing that compares," notes listed agent Deborah Cullen of Cullen Royle.

“It is a private sanctuary set in a stunning natural environment, in a pristine part of Australia that is unspoiled."

“The centrepiece of this remarkable property is its breathtakingly beautiful location... quite literally jutting out into the sea, providing unparalleled and jaw-dropping panoramic views."

Rocky Point on Kangaroo Island, South Australia can be reached from the mainland via yacht, ferry, helicopter, and plane - find out more below.
