Entertainer’s dream with never-ending bay views

THERE is no better feeling than stepping out of your home and feeling the sand between your toes - so imagine having the beach as your ‘yard’ in South Australia’s wonderful Smoky Bay - with 6 Watson Cove hitting the market with an $850,000 price guide.

“When I was 50 years old my wife and I gave up our jobs, sold our Sydney home and businesses, and went travelling around Australia to follow our dream of fishing in some of the best locations,” homeowner Mr John Brookfield said.

“We’d been to Smoky Bay a number of times to fish and we always camped at the same caravan park. Then one year, we saw a block for sale at the front of the park, and we knew straight away we had to make it ours.

“We built the house from scratch, but the Smoky Bay neighbourhood is so sociable that we soon realised it didn’t quite match our entertainment requirements.

“We made a lot of changes and turned it into the ultimate entertainment property. Since then, we’ve had various functions here, including Anzac Days, when the whole town came for breakfast after the service.

“I can’t tell you how special it is to be able to watch the incredible sunsets over the sea from your own home. It’s something you can’t really put a price on.

“With the jetty on your doorstep and a completely sheltered launching ramp, you can literally pop out to catch breakfast, lunch or dinner with ease because it’s so quiet here.

“It’s been a really super era, but with our three grandchildren living in Adelaide, our calling is to move back to the city and for new owners to make their own incredible memories here.”

Ray White North Adelaide Principal Rachel Lawrie said the term ‘wow factor’ was used too much in the modern day but it was the perfect description for this beach beauty.

“The property is next level amazing, with incredible add-ons to make it your perfect luxury get-away. The owners of this masterpiece have gone above and beyond to ensure this home is an entertainer’s dream,” Ms Lawrie said.

“The home has been recognised for its liveability features - meaning it's healthy, efficient, comfortable and connected to the community - with the opportunity for the occupant to greatly reduce their running costs significantly if utilised correctly.

“With all its extra industrial features, this home is perfect for parties and family get-togethers, could you imagine hosting Christmas here?

“Smoky Bay is a relaxed seaside town around 40km south of Ceduna. Only a short flight from Adelaide to Ceduna, the Airport, modern Hospital and full Ceduna facilities is connected to Smoky Bay via a short drive on the highway.

“Smoky Bay's iconic jetty is the centre-piece of the town. It was restored and reopened in 2012, including newly decked areas with fishing booths, railing and new lighting as well as shelters, seating and picnic facilities.

“With beautiful bays and beaches, Smoky Bay is ideal for fishing, crabbing and water sports. Oysters from Smoky Bay are renowned throughout the world for their sensational ‘sweet ocean’ taste.

“The lucky buyer won’t need to close their eyes and dream of the ocean - they simply just need to open their eyes every morning and look outside.”
