Known for its lucrative fishing industry on the Eyre Peninsula, the town of Port Lincoln might not be the first place you think of when you’re considering a holiday home, but the palatial residence at 16-18 North Point Avenue, Port Lincoln, might just be a reason to get to know the place. With views out across the waters of the Port Lincoln Marina and just a hundred meters to the white sand that welcomes Porter bay, this home probably has more eccentric creature comforts than all of Toorak combined.
Unless you own part of the commercial fishing fleet in Port Lincoln, this sprawling compound will likely serve as a holiday home given the town’s seven-and-a-bit hour drive or 50-minute flight from Adelaide. However, boasting five bedrooms, five bathrooms and space to park a fleet of four cars, there’s plenty of space for you and your family friends to enjoy some of the best that South Australia has to offer (just 40 minutes drive from the world-class Coffin Bay oyster farms).
Upon entering the red-shingled roof home, you’re immediately greeted by one of the largest open-plan internal living spaces we’ve covered at On The Market, with a floor plan that dwarfs even some of the larger inner-city apartments. Featuring a 135m² internal garden, complete with palm trees and other tropical flora, you’ll also find a commercially-sized aquarium and even an enormous glass bird aviary.

With space for half of Noah’s Ark’s creatures inside, there’s also a huge kitchen (and butler’s pantry) with an island bench that looks directly into the internal garden while the rear of the cavernous main room opens up onto an alfresco dining area that looks over the marina and your own private pontoon. All three of the ground-level bedrooms enjoy their own walk-in robes and ensuite bathrooms, and there’s even a dedicated wine cellar to store your best bottles away from the coastal sun.
The garage is also accessible internally from the ground level, while upstairs you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. With marble-clad floors and plenty of classical detailing throughout the rest of the home, it’s easy to tell whoever designed the home at 16-18 North Point Avenue, Port Lincoln, spared no expense in bringing their unique vision to life.
The remarkable 1,781m² property is currently seeking expressions of interest to purchase via Kemp Real Estate with a price guide of $3.85 million. While its location isn’t as convenient as the likes of Palm Beach, you’re also only paying a tenth of the price for a holiday home unlike any other.
