Highlights

The Space

Sandcastle: An Architectural Marvel Above Forresters Beach

Perched high on the sun-bleached dunes where the bush meets the sea, Sandcastle is more than a home—it's an experience in transparency and light. Designed by the award-winning Jon King, this glass-wrapped sanctuary feels as though it is floating above the Pacific, offering a front-row seat to the raw, majestic beauty of the Central Coast.

What we Love:
Location: You are perfectly positioned between the wild blue of the ocean and the emerald green of the western bush reserve. It is a rare, private world where the only soundtrack is the rhythm of the waves hitting the shore below.

Design: A true masterpiece of modern living, the home is a play of light and shadow. The living areas seem suspended in mid-air, creating a breathtaking sense of weightlessness as you gaze out across the infinite horizon.

Living Areas:
Open Plan Living: The heart of the home is bathed in golden coastal light. Whether you're curled up with a book or hosting an evening of laughter, the seamless flow of the open-plan space makes every moment feel expansive and connected to the sea.

Rumpus Room:
Tucked away on the top level, this extra space is the perfect retreat for kids to claim as their own or for a quiet moment away from the main social hub.

Outdoor Spaces: Step out onto the stunning undercover deck to breathe in the salt air. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee while watching migrating whales or enjoying a quiet afternoon in the timber courtyard, these spaces are designed to immerse you in nature.

access:
A grand set of stairs leads you from the street level up into your private lookout. For ease of arrival, rear lane access is available, making it simple to drop off your luggage and groceries before settling into your retreat.

Kitchen & Amenities:
Modern Kitchen: This is a space designed for the culinary enthusiast. With its walk-in pantry and sleek finishes, it's the perfect place to prepare a feast while still being part of the conversation in the living area.

Work From Home:
For those who can't leave work entirely behind, the dedicated workspaces offer the most inspiring office view you'll ever experience.

Laundry: Tucked away for convenience, providing everything you need for a seamless, long-term stay.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
Master Suite: Wake up to the sun rising over the ocean. This serene sanctuary features a private ensuite and views so vast you'll feel like you're waking up on the edge of the world.

Additional Bedrooms:
Three further bedrooms are cleverly positioned on platforms above the living zones. Guests can enjoy their own private "pods" with glazed screens that offer glimpses of the blue water, comfortably accommodating guests across two King beds, one Queen bed, and two Single beds.

Bathrooms: The home features three full bathrooms.

Sandcastle is more than just a place to stay; it is a place to reconnect. Whether you are sharing a sunset meal on the deck, watching the local birdlife from the courtyard, or simply drifting off to sleep with the ocean as your neighbor, every moment here is designed to inspire. Come and experience the transparency of coastal living in a home that truly breathes with the sea.

Neighborhood

Forresters Beach is a peaceful coastal suburb on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated between Terrigal and Bateau Bay. It’s best known for its long, sandy beach with reef breaks that attract surfers, quiet rock pools, and scenic ocean views — offering a more relaxed and uncrowded beach experience compared with some neighbouring towns.

The area has a friendly, laid-back community vibe with a small local hub of cafés, boutiques and services just minutes from the shoreline. It’s also surrounded by natural attractions like Wyrrabalong National Park, where coastal walking trails and lookouts provide panoramic views, whale watching opportunities, and peaceful bushland settings.

With a mix of relaxed residential streets, beachside homes and holiday rentals, Forresters Beach appeals to families, surfers, retirees and anyone seeking a serene coastal lifestyle. Its proximity to larger nearby centres like Terrigal and Erina means residents and visitors also enjoy convenient access to shops, dining and transport while still benefiting from the area’s natural beauty and quieter seaside charm.
