Elevated on 860 sqm of Coledale’s most exclusive enclave, 5 Middle Heights Road, Coledale pulls off a trifecta as rare as hen’s teeth.
“It’s not every day you see an architectural triumph like this, on a parcel of land this size, and so close to the beach,” Adam McMahon of Dignam Real Estate says.
“Even in the blue-chip suburb of Coledale, this is a home built with heart, and as far as luxury living goes, it doesn’t get much better.”
Boasting a bold, modern silhouette and monochrome palette with recycled brickwork features, the residence cuts a striking figure yet recedes beautifully into its extraordinary natural setting.
Every corner of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is designed to capitalise on the surroundings, starting with the concrete deck on entry that serves as the ultimate vantage point for breathtaking sunrises, alfresco entertaining and ocean gazing.
The journey begins through a grand entryway, where soaring ceilings, expansive glass and a focal fireplace set the tone.
“The home is on a supremely serene and private block of land, but you walk through the doors and are immediately hit by 180-degree ocean views through expansive glass,” Adam says.
“All living spaces face east, so you can sit with a coffee on the balcony and watch the sunrise or curl up with a good book and a glass of wine in the evening, and be lulled by the sounds of the surf.
“On the northern side is floor-to-ceiling, commercial grade glass that allows natural light into the home, and warms it up beautifully.”





The open living area on this top floor blends seamlessly with the kitchen, complete with bespoke cabinetry, premium appliances and a captivating bushland outlook.
Also on this floor is the master retreat, which has a palatial walk-in wardrobe, an opulent ensuite and of course, those uninterrupted ocean views.
The family-friendly floorplan offers dual living with two of the remaining three sumptuous bedrooms located downstairs, along with a spa-inspired main bathroom where an opulent “rainfall” shower beckons.
There is also a laundry and a rumpus. Characterised by polished concrete floors and textured walls, this second living area leads to an expansive, lush, level lawn.
Surrounded by mature trees, the yard is the perfect spot for kids to kick a ball, pets to run around and picnics to be shared with family and friends, before you retreat to the firepit for a beverage at twilight.
“The different spaces provide diverse experiences, whether you’re entertaining a big group of family and friends or looking for private spots to retreat to and relax,” Adam says.
“The yard is family-friendly. It’s uncommon to have a parcel of land so large, so useable and yet, the beach is probably about 600 m away as the crow flies.
“Your swimmers will still be wet as you come into the home from your swim or surf, but the home is also located at the heart of this beautiful community, with Coledale village just around the corner.”



Nature lovers and active types will enjoy diverse and stunning walking trails both coastal and via the dramatic Illawarra escarpment.
Coledale is also home to vibrant cafes, boutique stores and an iconic farmer’s market flush with artisanal delights and fresh local produce.
Despite its covetable coastal seclusion, the suburb is well connected, being only 20 minutes from Wollongong CBD and an easy 90-minute drive or train ride to Sydney.
“This home would be the perfect retreat for professionals, families and lifestyle seekers alike,” Adam says.
