If you know Augusta, chances are you know this house.
Standing proudly on the sweeping corner of Storm Bay Road and Davies Road, directly opposite the crystal waters of Granny's Pool, 1 Storm Bay Road has become something of a landmark in Flinders Bay.
For decades, this distinctive coastal home has welcomed holidaymakers to one of Augusta's most remarkable locations. Now, a rare opportunity presents itself to make this iconic piece of Augusta your own.
The position is extraordinary.
Approximately 270 degrees of sweeping ocean views wrap around the property, taking in Granny's Pool, Flinders Bay and the vast Southern Ocean beyond. From here you can watch the weather roll across the water, see the sun shift across the coastline and, during the annual migration, spot Southern Right and Humpback whales making their way past the bay.
Set on 718m2 with three street frontages, the circa 1985 home retains the relaxed character of the classic Australian beach house, a place designed around holidays, family and an enduring connection to the ocean.
Arranged over two levels, the home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, an expansive master suite with ensuite takes full advantage of the outlook, creating the rather special experience of waking to views across Granny's Pool and the Southern Ocean.
Three further bedrooms are positioned downstairs, with two enjoying views towards the water, while the living spaces retain the comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere that has made the property such a popular holiday destination over many years.
Outside, the full length balcony provides perhaps the best seat in the house. Morning coffee as the bay comes to life, long summer afternoons after a swim across the road, or a glass of wine as the light changes over the ocean, this is a home where life has always revolved around its remarkable setting.
And what a setting it is.
Granny's Pool is less than 40m away, while the wider Flinders Bay foreshore, swimming beaches and coastline are quite literally on your doorstep. The property's three street frontages also provide excellent access, particularly for those bringing a boat to enjoy everything this part of Augusta has to offer.
There is enormous appeal in simply embracing the home for what it has always been, an unforgettable Augusta beach house in an incredible position. Equally, the site presents an exceptional opportunity for a future owner to reimagine the property and create something remarkable in a location that could never be replicated.

The most south westerly town in the state, Augusta was named by Gov. Sir James Stirling in May 1830. Until 2003 it was thought the name honoured Princess Augusta Sophia, second daughter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. In 2003 the book "James Stirling - Admiral and Founding Governor of Western Australia" a letter by James Turner is referred to which states "a town is purposed to be built named Augusta, County of Sussex, in compliment to the Duke". Princess Augusta Sophia died unmarried, and the "Duke" is most likely the Duke of Sussex, Augustus Frederick (Hanover), the 6th son of George III. He married Lady Augusta Murray in 1793, but the marriage was deemed a violation of the Royal Marriage Act, and was declared null and void in 1794. Lady Augusta Murray is most likely the person after whom Augusta is named.
Augusta is a town on the south west coast of WA and was predominately a tourist town up until the late 1990s when many people chose to retired to the region. The town is known for its major attractions such as Cape Leeuwin "where two oceans meet" and its impressive lighthouse. Augusta is dependent on professional fishing, timber and tourism. There is a local shopping centre in the area and two primary schools - Augusta Primary School and Karridale Primary School, with the closest secondary school Margaret River Senior High School.
