The glass-edge pool adds to the wow factor.


Nestled in the hillside overlooking Flat Rock beach in Tugun, this designer beach pad may enjoy a private position but that doesn’t mean it has gone unnoticed.

Completed late last year, the glamorous residence known as ‘Pacific’ has already featured in home magazines and is due to appear on an upcoming television series showcasing Australia’s best homes.

It’s also ranked among the most-viewed properties online in Australia since it was listed.

The house, at 662 Pacific Parade, is designed by Chris Clout Design, whose glass-edge pools add serious wow factor to homes around Australia.

When viewed from the beach, the stunning 8m pool appears suspended on the third level, providing a sun-drenched ocean viewing platform with built-in beds.

Built-in sun beds make for prime ocean viewing.


“The views just go on from Surfers to Snapper Rocks, it’s really breathtaking,” said agent and owner Madonna Delaney, who shares the house with husband Tim and their children.

“We wanted our dream home to feel like a holiday beach house.”

The Plantation style gives off Caribbean coastal luxe vibes.


Considered choices make that relaxed vibe evident at every turn, from the Moreton Island driftwood handles and distressed French oak flooring to the tropical plants and oversized cane fans.

Built over four levels, the grand master suite sits at the very top providing the ultimate nightly getaway.

Wake up to water views.


A custom-made four-poster bed faces the ocean with floor-to-ceiling glass windows to maximise the morning view.
