The phone enquiry code for this property is - 2393 Perched on an elevated plateau above the peaceful seaside village of Naracoopa on King Island, this remarkable 5-acre coastal homestead offers a rare opportunity to embrace a slower, more intentional way of life. Combining sweeping ocean views, a handcrafted timber home, established food gardens, abundant water security and thoughtfully designed infrastructure, this is a property where years of careful planning and hard work have already been done. Simply move in and begin enjoying the lifestyle many dream of creating. From its commanding position, the property captures panoramic views stretching along King Island's spectacular coastline, encompassing Sea Elephant Beach, Cowper Point, Councillor Island and Lighthouse, and the ever-changing waters of Bass Strait. Built just three years ago and recently completed, the owner-built timber home was designed to exceed engineering requirements and reflects a commitment to quality, character and practicality. Warm timber interiors, natural finishes and carefully considered details create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The open-plan living and dining space centres around a wood-fired stove, while the rustic country kitchen enjoys stunning ocean views and features generous timber bench space, a farmhouse composite granite sink, dishwasher, new gas stove and extensive storage. The majority of the home's timber surfaces have been finished with natural food-grade tung oil, enhancing both durability and warmth. Currently configured as two bedrooms plus a spacious loft studio, the home offers flexibility for families, artists, remote workers or those seeking dedicated creative space. The upstairs loft and studio enjoy magnificent coastal views, while the downstairs bedroom includes a walk-in robe and direct access to the bathroom, complete with freestanding bath, built-in vanity, laundry facilities and separate toilet. Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. An extensive organic food garden sits immediately beside the home, with raised beds, gravel pathways, trellising and irrigation creating a productive and attractive space that is designed for low-maintenance enjoyment. Mature heritage fruit trees provide an extraordinary variety of produce, including apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples, pears, cherries, citrus, persimmons, pomegranates, gooseberries, kiwiberries, blueberries, blackberries, asparagus and much more. The hothouse and outdoor kitchen pavilion serves as a year-round entertaining space, propagation area and protected outdoor dining room, all framed by ocean views and lush plantings. Whether nurturing seedlings, sharing a meal with friends or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee, it is a space that beautifully captures the essence of the property. Water security is exceptional, with almost 100,000 litres of tank storage complemented by two dams. A 6kW solar system significantly reduces power costs, while underground mains power services both the home and outbuildings. The property has been thoughtfully developed for productive living and hobby farming, featuring six fenced paddocks, animal shelters, two dedicated chook runs, extensive shelterbelts, quality fencing and fertile pasture. A native Blackwood forest occupies the rear of the property, where a seasonal creek winds beneath towering manferns. Infrastructure includes multiple workshops, shipping container storage, covered parking for five vehicles, a woodshed, garden sheds and extensive all-weather roadbase driveways and turning areas. Close enough to hear the ocean yet protected from the salt spray, this is far more than a home. It is a complete coastal homestead offering self-sufficiency, privacy, beauty and lifestyle in equal measure. A truly rare opportunity to secure an established island sanctuary where the hard work has already been done.
