Tucked into rolling hills between Batemans Bay and Batehaven, 3 Sanctuary Place at Catalina is luxury beyond your imagination.

This architectural masterpiece is set in a quiet, elevated South Coast suburb known for its stunning water views. Corrigans Beach is less than a kilometre from the front door, and local shopping precincts, sports courts, clubs, parks, carnival grounds and ‘the best boat ramp in town’ are just minutes away.

The current owners spared no expense during the design or build.

Completed in 2006, the home has allowed its owners to easily host loved ones. It features its own solar-heated indoor lap pool, indoor spa, home gym and no less than three party decks.

Peggy McAlister from My Agent Team in Batemans Bay has fallen in love with the property herself, calling it a real show-stopper.

“You’ve got so much room to live, work and play here,” she says.

“Three spacious levels stretch across almost 1000 sqm. The ground floor is dedicated to two garages, one of which has been split to host a private home gym.

“Visitors are welcomed by a huge, level driveway with enough space to park 10 cars if you wanted to, and low maintenance gardens that create a beautiful, serene landscape.”

There’s also an office on the ground floor, perfect for professionals working remotely.

Upstairs is where most of the magic happens. The gently lit staircase enters a central chef’s kitchen that’s surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. It has updated Smeg appliances, a walk-in pantry and plenty of storage.

Just a few steps away is one of the main attractions, a solar-heated indoor lap pool.

“It doesn’t get much more grand than this,” Peggy says.

“I imagine sipping my morning coffee at the island bench in the kitchen, then heading over to swim some laps before getting my day started.

“You can actually enjoy the view over the balcony right from the water, but since the pool is covered, you maintain that all-important privacy.”

Four bedrooms with inbuilt wardrobes and two elegant bathrooms live on this level. The fourth bedroom is located in its own wing, with a private lounge room and deck access. This would usually be considered the master, but 3 Sanctuary Place has other ideas because up one more flight of stairs is the penthouse.

On the top floor, residents can live the high life in 169 sqm of dedicated space, including a huge bedroom, private ensuite, spa bath and lounge area.

Curved glass windows stretch from floor to ceiling and across an entire wall in the master suite, taking advantage of spectacular views of the Clyde River, Square Head and Snapper Island.

“It’s here that the third and final party deck awaits,” Peggy says.

“This is the most exclusive area in the home. How great would it be to have a whole floor to yourself?

“No matter where you are in the home, you’re greeted with light and luxury, and the open air is never far away.”

Peggy believes 3 Sanctuary Place would best suit a large, social family with older kids, someone who wants a sumptuous, luxurious holiday home, or an investor looking to secure a South Coast destination villa.
