17 Webster Avenue
Venus Bay, VIC 3956

Offered for the first time since 1962, 17 Webster Avenue in Venus Bay presents a rare and historic opportunity. This unique property has been held by the same family for over six decades and is among the earliest homes established in the area. The holding comprises five individual titles with dual street frontages to Webster Avenue and Rita Court, totaling approximately 3,565 square meters, which is well over three quarters of an acre.

Buyers have the flexibility to purchase the entire parcel or, subject to negotiation, acquire the house along with the adjoining Webster Avenue titles, with the remaining land available separately. The property highlights include five individual titles totaling approximately 3,565 square meters, with three titles fronting Webster Avenue measuring approximately 611, 611, and 617 square meters respectively, and two titles fronting Rita Court measuring approximately 979 and 747 square meters.

The dual street frontages offer significant flexibility and future potential. The central Webster Avenue title features an A-frame dwelling built in 1977, complemented by a separate amenities building equipped with a shower, toilet, and hot water service. Additional features include a 10-panel solar system, a two-car lock-up garage, bore water connection, tank water sourced from the double garage, a septic system, and established tea tree and natural coastal vegetation.

The original A-frame home exudes charm and nostalgia, serving as a true time capsule of relaxed coastal holidays. Spread across three levels, the dwelling offers a ground floor kitchen and lounge area with a wood fire, laminate benchtops, and an upright LPG gas stove. The middle level features an open-plan bedroom accessed via a spiral staircase, while a small loft room provides ideal storage or accommodation for a double bed sleepout. A central wood fire flue provides natural heat to the upper levels.

Adjacent to the A-frame is the original amenities building, which holds its own slice of Venus Bay history, having once been powered by a windmill that charged a 32V battery to supply basic electricity to the home.

The property has been cherished for generations, with the current owners enjoying countless summers with family and friends, including long days at the beach, evenings by the fire, and games on their own croquet lawn.

With five titles, two street frontages, and a landholding of this scale, the future potential is significant, subject to council approval. Buyers may choose to retain the entire parcel as a private coastal retreat, consolidate titles, develop or build on individual titles, or land bank for the future. The vendors prefer to sell the property as a whole, though there is an option to purchase the house and one or two adjoining Webster Avenue titles first, with the remaining land available separately.

Located in Venus Bay’s sought-after Second Estate, the property is approximately a 10-minute walk to the beach, 12 minutes to Tarwin Lower, 35 minutes to Inverloch, and about two hours from Melbourne. This is a truly rare offering in one of Venus Bay’s most peaceful pockets, ready for its next chapter.
