The Juc Family Retreat

Summary: Welcome to a getaway that captures the very essence of a beachside holiday living. Where spectacular ocean views, sea breezes, coastal style and relaxed simplicity come together in a beautifully presented package. Located in a special pocket of Jan Juc, ‘The Juc Lookout’ delivers all of this, only 7mins walk to the sand. Recently refreshed, features of this contemporary coastal retreat include 4 fantastic bedrooms, 3 living rooms, study, 2 bathrooms and outdoor living. Pet friendly by request. The Space: ‘The Juc Lookout’ is an incredible beach house that boasts sweeping views from its commanding position. From the green belt of the RACV golf course to the breaking waves of Jan Juc, the views carry on to Port Phillip Heads and the distant silhouette of Cape Schanck. Warm natural light and unobstructed views flood the stylish interiors, so you can watch the surf and passing ships from sunrise to sunset. Quietly tucked away from the crowds and yet so close to the beach, parks and shops, this may well be one of the best locations in Jan Juc. Set in a quiet court with the convenience of close proximity to the Jan Juc Village shops, cafés, beach and playgrounds, world-famous Bells Beach is under 10mins drive. The main Torquay shopping and dining precinct is also within this radius. Designed to maximise its aspect and embrace the scenic outlooks, the property takes full advantage of the views with a sunny deck and rooftop viewing platform. With views across the coastal hamlet, the ‘The Juc Lookout’ will have you feeling on top of the world. The split-level layout offers 3 spacious living areas with leafy outlooks and sunny outdoor entertaining, making it ideal for a memorable family holiday, groups of friends or executive travellers. Entertainers will appreciate the well-stocked kitchen, with quality stainless steel appliances and world-class views that make meal preparation a delight. Distinctive stone benches and a brekky bar with 4 stools adjoins the dining area for 8 people. Kids are catered to with plastic tableware, stairgates, toys and games, plus a highchair and porta cot (BYO cot linen). Easy living with space for everyone to come together or seek retreat.
