Hexagonal house with three glamping tents hits the market in Broome

When the breeze rolls in from the Indian Ocean and over Lot 104 Lawrence Road, Waterbank, it’s an experience that words fail to capture.

Nature meets luxury and design at the property, which is on the market, about 15 minutes from the heart of Broome.

Three stylish glamping tents on site, each with a deck and a bath, complemented by a serene outdoor shower, invite guests to soak in the world-class scenery. 

The hexagonal, rammed earth home, in the upmarket Coconut Wells Estate, also has direct beach access.

The swimming pool, set in a deck, next to an entertaining zone, looks out over the big blue horizon. Ocean and northern Cable Beach vistas unfold below.

“It is something you can’t see in a campaign photo, but the breezes there are astronomic,” agent Helen Atcheson of Kimberley Property Co. says. “Because you are so high up, with an uninterrupted ocean breeze, it is at least five degrees cooler than Broome town, at any time.

“There are a number of properties in the Coconut Wells Estate, but none really have that completely interrupted panoramic view of the ocean. I have honestly never experienced anything like it, it is just absolutely spectacular. So is having your own private beach access – anywhere in Australia, that is amazing.”

The off-grid sanctuary occupies 3.64 hectares in a highly sought-after location, situated on one of the highest points in the area.

The unique, six-sided design of the house allows for views and connection to Mother Nature from every room.

Covered patios hug the perimeter, in a dress-circle position to tropical gardens and visiting wildlife, including birds and wallabies. 

The heart of the two-bedroom main home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and bar, beneath richly-toned timber cathedral ceilings. The property is powered by solar energy and supplied with twice-filtered bore water. Banks of slate flooring are cool underfoot.

“We don’t see many rammed-earth properties in the north,” Atcheson says. “This is a beautiful, quite sustainable way of building. It also keeps the property cool inside and is excellent in the cooler weather, as well.

“It is a beautiful, unique residence, and you can see the ocean from every room.“

The new owner can easily access the beach from the home. But at certain times, nature’s show will come to them.

“You’re in private and secluded natural bushland, which flows down to the ocean,” Atcheson says. “Depending on some tides, the water actually laps to the bottom of the lot.”

An enormous warehouse on the block features a one-bedroom caretaker’s residence, a kitchen, and seating that overlooks the ocean.

A double garage and a shipping container provide storage options, and the property boasts abundant infrastructure, including new septic tanks, to keep it running smoothly.

The main house and the glamping tents have a track record as a successful Airbnb operation, according to the listing, netting $17,000 per month during the tourist season, which runs from April to September.

The property is for sale via private treaty.

“It’s very, very rare, fully off-grid and with waterfront, panoramic views all the way around, and your own private beach access,” Atcheson says.

“You don’t really get these spots anywhere in Australia or the world anymore, so it’s special.”
