Where excellence comes standard
From the humble beginnings of a modest farm cottage to a magnificent stately home, this remarkable property is a true testament to vision, care, and transformation.
Perched high above Robinsons Bay, it captures sweeping panoramic coastal views of the bay and the picturesque valley floor below. Nestled within mature native plantings this beautifully landscaped garden with meandering paths - lovingly created by the current owners as a private retreat - offers tranquility, privacy, and timeless style.
Thoughtfully designed for flexibility and modern living, the downstairs level features a spacious bedroom and bathroom with delightful sea views and its own external access off Kingston Hill - perfect for guests, extended family, or Airbnb. A second lounge on this level can be closed off, offering even more privacy or potential for dual living. Previously, the property has successfully hosted Airbnb guests, weddings, and catered stay vacations, highlighting its exceptional appeal and versatility.
The heart of the home is a large, light-filled L-shaped living area anchored by a hostess kitchen and full scullery, designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort. Adjacent to the lounge is a versatile study, accessible both from the living area and directly from the front door, providing a private and convenient workspace.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms provide ample space for family or guests. Expansive decks on both levels invite you to take in the ever-changing views, from sunrise to sunset.
Practicality meets elegance with extensive garaging for five vehicles, underground wine cellar for your prized collection, and a separate lockable implement shed tucked away. Approximately half of the property is divided into two paddocks suitable for sheep, cattle or horses.
Every element has been carefully considered to offer a home of rare quality - private, peaceful, and perfectly positioned. To be fully appreciated and feel the magic, this property is a must view - the photos are only half the picture!
Viewings by appointment only.

Estimated rental yield
2.9%
What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $1,045 × 52 weeks = $54,340, against the council valuation of $1,890,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $1,045 | 100% |
We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.
These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Free. Takes about a minute.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
