Casa De Puente Blanco ~ A Soulful Coastal Sanctuary Where the Bush Meets the Sea

Totally hidden from the world yet just a short stroll from Dudley Beach, this architectural hideaway is pure sanctuary. Wrapped in the wild beauty of Glenrock State Conservation Area and capturing sweeping ocean views from every room courtesy of its prized northeast aspect, it’s a home where you can watch the sun climb over the water each morning, sip wine by the pool as native birds come to say hello, and see the moon rise over the horizon at night. Designed by renowned architect Kevin Snell to celebrate its setting, this one-of-a-kind retreat is your private slice of beach and bush paradise.

Behind a horseshoe driveway with motor court, and landscaped gardens that channel laid-back Mexican Riviera vibes, the light-drenched residence reveals a distinctly mid-century modern soul across two striking levels. Signature Snell touches are everywhere from the walls of glass framing the coastline, a glass-roofed atrium over the entry walkway, and a heated indoor spa that complements a half-moon infinity pool outside.

Thoughtful design brings both connection and separation, with four bedrooms plus a study, three bathrooms, including a renovated master ensuite with heated floor and twin shower, and a choice of indoor and outdoor living zones. A glass lift offers ease of movement from the two garages to the main living level serving you well now and long into retirement. A galley kitchen, with butler’s pantry and quality appliances, anchors the lounge, dining, and bar rooms, where walls papered in vintage New Yorker magazine covers spark conversation, each space warmed by a winter fire and flowing out to the pool terrace. Alfresco entertaining comes easy with a covered pavilion, cabana, and barbecue area, all set against an endless ocean backdrop. Double garage with additional off-street parking for numerous vehicles.

Offered for only the second time, this is a rare opportunity to place your own stamp on a home of architectural significance, while gazing out across a dramatic coastline that sweeps from Dudley Beach to Newcastle’s city lights and the distant shores of Port Stephens. Just 15 minutes to Newcastle CBD, Whitebridge village is a short stroll for coffee and essentials, Charlestown Square is five minutes away, and the Fernleigh Track and Glenrock’s adventure trails are on your doorstep.
