THE LOCATION

South City Beach is wider Perth City’s most exclusive beachfront enclave. A small coastal village of some 250 homes nestled in the dunes, ocean side of West Coast Highway and cocooned against the shoreline by the Swanbourne army reserve, Cottesloe Golf Course, Bold Park Bushlands and the iconic beachfront City beach football ovals, which are the finish line of the City to Surf. There is finite property here. The closest and most central beach to the heart of Perth City and the St. Georges Terrace engine room of the state’s economy. Of the 250 homes here, there are only 26 homes oceanside of Branksome Gardens with rear gates directly onto the dunes. Most are now redeveloped with luxury new residences. There are very few blank canvases like this left. Gaze out to the horizon and be forever in touch with the many moods of the day. Fit in a morning swim before your first appointment even when you are running late. Catch up with friends at the beachfront cafes for a meal or a drink. Walk your dog along the long romantic untouched shoreline or stroll through the springtime wildflower wonderland in Bold Park A-class bush reserve.

THE HOME

The last of the original beach shacks oceanside of Branksome Gardens. This home has been in the long ownership of an old time South City beach family who have brought up four kids here and entertained their grandchildren. This family grew up with “South City” in their veins! It is now time for generational changes and to hand this loving home on to the next owners to create loving chapters and memories for their own families. This place has “good juju” – beautiful piece of spirit country for you to now secure as your happy place. It is very original, its full of character, it’s a renovator’s delight. It’s being sold “as is”. It’s also a fantastic site for your new home. At 779sqm it is also one of the biggest sites on the Branksome waterfront strip – where many of the other lots are in the 600sqms.

THE POTENTIAL

Design plans for your families forever dream home here. Imagine your lounge room and kitchen with sweeping views out across the ocean to Rottnest beyond. Flowing out to the deck in summer. Staying warm by the fire in winter as you watch the storms roll in. Alternately, live a castaway beach shack existence in this truly block value seaside cottage which is rich with untold stories and nostalgia.

Either way, your new home’s a back garden will open on to the rear dunes and parkland so that your kids can flow out into this coastal wonderland and grow up fit, healthy, sun kissed and happy. It’s hard to turn back from a life amongst the ever-present sound of crashing waves against the shoreline and the perfumed breeze of the coastal dune vegetation. These things become part of you.

Life is good here…welcome to South City Beach.
