Middle River Vista on Snellings Beach

Tucked along the rugged northern coast of Kangaroo Island, this private residence offers an exquisite blend of beachside tranquility and sophisticated coastal design. With sweeping views across the ocean and Middle River Estuary, the home is a rare retreat where natural beauty and thoughtful architecture converge. Framed by sunrises and sunsets over the water, every corner of this sanctuary is designed to immerse guests in the serene rhythms of the island.

The home’s interior is anchored by an open-concept living space that balances airy elegance with coastal charm. Coastal-inspired furnishings, a central fireplace, and a sunken lounge create a warm and refined setting for gathering. An infrared sauna overlooking the ocean adds an indulgent layer of relaxation, offering a tranquil pause after a day exploring the island. The kitchen is equally inviting—spacious, functional, and perfectly positioned to take in uninterrupted sea views.

Three beautifully appointed bedrooms (plus a bunk room), including a serene master suite, are designed for rest and rejuvenation, each with large windows that frame the shifting hues of the ocean. Outdoors, a generous deck invites connection and contemplation with a barbecue area and fire circle ideal for sharing meals or stories beneath the southern stars. Wildlife frequents the surrounding landscape, with kangaroos and wallabies often appearing at dawn and dusk, enhancing the sense of being fully immersed in nature.

Situated steps from Snelling Beach, one of Kangaroo Island’s most beloved family-friendly stretches of coastline, the location is ideal for swimming, fishing, and beachcombing. With only limited development in the area, this stretch of sand often feels like a private escape. A short drive leads to the island’s culinary gems, including Gastronomo Dining’s acclaimed Fig Tree Restaurant and the charming Rockpool Café in Stokes Bay.

Whether soaking in the quiet coastal views, exploring the region’s natural beauty, or enjoying time with loved ones in a serene, upscale setting, this Kangaroo Island retreat offers a refined experience that lingers long after departure.
