This truly unique sprawling Broome property at 502 Gantheaume Point Road, Minyirr is positioned at the tip of Gantheaume Point, at the most southern end of the world famous Cable Beach.
Ray White Cottesloe | Mosman Park sales agent Caro Cunningham said the five-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury homestead occupied a 3027sqm site of ancient significance, the name Gnarangannie reflecting Aboriginal mythology.
“You will just marvel at the iconic colours of the Kimberley region - the impressive red sandstone cliffs, turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and unparalleled Indian Ocean sunsets,” said Ms Cunningham who had lived in Broome for 15 years before moving to Perth 10 years ago.
“Broome gets into your soul as it’s such a special place. It’s famous for its relaxed lifestyle, fishing and pearls of course. This is a one-of-a-kind property and ideal as a holiday home or forever home.
“This would be the pearl of any property portfolio to keep in your family for generations to come. This breath taking location can never be built out.
“Watch the boats cruise past the point at sunset and enjoy listening to the sound of the ocean against the rugged sandstone cliffs, just 100m away.”
Steeped in local history, this magnificent property was the lighthouse keeper's quarters since 1906, and became a nuns' retreat and subsequently a camp for Girl Guides in the 1930s.
The original home burnt down around 1970, with the current residence designed and constructed in the mid-1990s.
The ground floor of the sprawling homestead boasts multiple living areas, including the stunning open-plan main room with soaring, cedar-lined cathedral ceilings and exposed timber beams.
Beautiful Chinese slate adorns the floors throughout, and three of the four deluxe guest bedrooms have ensuites and built-in robes.
The owner's family had been in Broome for six generations.
“Gnarangannie is a very ancient time in Aboriginal culture. I believe the western equivalent would be the word ‘dream time’. For me, Gnarangannie is more than apt as it resonates the power and energy emanating from the red cliffs contrasting against the ever shifting colours of Broome Ocean under which our prehistoric dinosaur prints lay," the owmer said.
Gantheaume Point itself was named in 1801 by Nicolas Boudin in honour of a French Naval Admiral, Joseph Gantheaume. Gnarangannie has a history as a place of healing and refuge.
This private family home is within walking distance to Cable Beach.
The property is for sale with offers closing on Friday October 15, 2021.
