A Bold Beachfront Masterpiece.
50 Kewarra Street Kewarra Beach – International rockstar architect Andy Hall designed Astoria House, with a brief to create a luxurious resort-style beachfront residence. In 2018, the 1,050 sqm contemporary mansion was completed with knockout views of Double Island off Palm Cove and beyond to the Great Barrier Reef.
The five-bedroom private residence features seven-meter ceilings, a soundproof office, a saltwater aquarium, a purpose-built art gallery, a gym, a car showroom lobby, sustainability initiatives, and smart technology.
This one-off billionaire’s beach house set on 1,652 sqm of absolute beachfront land is 20 minutes from the Cairns International Airport and discretely nestled on the same beach as Palm Cove with its bounty of cafes, restaurants, and shops.

Location
Our neighbourhood is very safe. I often walk after dark . There is a lovely drive up to a great lookout over Apollo Bay and the Great Ocean Road. If you are feeling energetic it is an invigorating hike from the property it will take about an hour .
