Balnarring Beach house with $8million price to break real estate record: Australian house prices

A charming beach house covered in vines with a stunning indoor-outdoor lounge room, luxurious master suite and a kitchen bar is set to break a property record. 

The oceanside oasis, which is on the market with an asking price of $8million, is an hour and 15 minutes south of Melbourne in Balnarring Beach and is just a short stroll down a private path to the water’s edge. 

If sold in the top end of its price range, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house would be the priciest property in Balnarring Beach beating out a multi-story beachfront home which sold in April for $7.5million. 

An incredible light-filled family room is the heart of the four-bedroom home and blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors as it opens up on both sides to the entertaining decks, surrounding gardens and coastal bushland. 

Through a garden of coastal bushland and behind a vine-covered façade lies a luxurious home with a stunning indoor-outdoor lounge room, lavish master suite and a kitchen bar that lies just metres from the beach

Australian property value skyrockets to $10 TRILLION with house prices surging up to 30 per cent in just a year in some places 

The value of Australian residential property has surged past $10 trillion for the first time thanks to 18 months of record-low interest rates.

The combined worth of all houses and apartments climbed by 21.4 per cent in the year to March when the Reserve Bank cash rate was still 0.1 per cent. 

A $1.8 trillion annual increase, from $8.4 trillion a year earlier, took the total value of residential assets to an all-time high of $10.2 trillion, the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed on Tuesday. 

Melbourne, which like Sydney was in lockdown for much of last year, had a more subdued 9.4 per cent increase to $930,000.  While the value of Australian residential property has climbed above $10 trillion, RateCity research director Sally Tindall said stricter lending rules were already slowing down the market.

The spacious lounge room has soaring vaulted ceilings and a cosy fireplace and flows into the dining space with a unique sea urchin-inspired pendant light adding to the home’s coast feel. 

With a window splash-back, smooth timber benchtops, exposed shelves, and a butler’s pantry, the sleek kitchen is the envy of many home cooks.

Off the main living space there are two alfresco entertaining areas, one covered with plenty of space to lounge in the sun as it sets, gardens filled with lush bamboo trees, a fire pit for cooler nights and an outdoor kitchen.
