Sydney’s eastern coastline is renowned for its beautiful beaches and spectacular scenery but perhaps most scenic of all is the south-eastern end that’s home to the coastal villages of Malabar and La Perouse. Rich in history, La Perouse is famous as the place where Captain Arthur Phillip’s First Fleet landed in 1788 and for the 1880s Bare Island Fort that’s been the backdrop for some epic movie scenes including Tom Cruise’s action-packed chase in Mission Impossible II.

Surrounded by idyllic sheltered beaches, snorkelling spots, national parkland and golf clubs, La Perouse and Malabar are ideal for lovers of the great outdoors. The family friendly suburbs are very tightly held as people tend to stay as it’s such a perfect place to raise a family but now and then a fantastic property comes to market which are perfect for house-hunters priced out of neighbouring suburbs such as Maroubra, Coogee and Clovelly.

Zach Carter just sold a luxurious family home at 97 Austral Street, Malabar prior to auction. Just 550m to Malabar ocean pool, the striking contemporary home sold for $3.2m after only 14 days on the market with 21 groups inspecting the four-bedroom property before it was snapped up.

Zach also has a listing in La Perouse which is undoubtedly one of the best homes in the area. The coastal paradise at 20 Goorawahl Avenue, La Perouse is positioned right at the tip of the peninsula affording panoramic 270-degree views that stretch over Botany Bay to Kurnell. Built by the current owners in a tightly held spot just 400m to Congwong Beach, the three-storey home is perfectly configured for family living with a top floor parent’s retreat, choice of living areas and a saltwater pool. The views are incredible, the sunsets magic and the location unbeatable with nature all around and the bus to Bondi Junction footsteps from the door.

Zach says, “It’s a real privilege to list homes in such a tightly held precinct and introduce buyers from surrounding suburbs like Bronte and Coogee to this idyllic pocket of the coast. There’s a fantastic seaside holiday feel and families who own property in La Perouse tend to lay down roots meaning that homes rarely trade. There have only been a handful of sales in the past decade, and I’ve sold four in the past year. It’s been an absolute pleasure seeing buyers discover the beauty of La Perouse and the surrounding coastal villages of Malabar and Little Bay.”

This week the sales team secured 14 sales with an average price of $4.8m and listed 18 new properties and the management team secure 4 tenancies and listed 8 new properties for lease.
