A seaside home situated 307 meters above sea level in a quiet Australian suburb captivates everyone who walks through the door.
Tucked away at the top of a simple staircase in Tallai on Queensland’s Gold Coast is a new property hailed as “closer to perfection than ever”.
Simon Ephrain Newitt spent four years working on his blank canvas and the result is a true labor of love that pays homage to the surrounding region.
“We designed it so that it sank into the natural contour of the land,” Mr Newitt told FEMAIL. “I wanted to create something where every bedroom could enjoy the view.”
Affectionately named ‘Skyfall’, the sprawling single-level home is divided into three main regions connected by mezzanine bridges: the living room, bedrooms and guest house.

The structure of the house was expertly designed to offer panoramic views of the city.
“The location is fantastic because you’re close to the water, close to the city, close to the national parks and it’s still a private rural setting,” Mr Newitt said.
‘The property cannot be replicated, it was the original Gold Coast lookout before Skyfall was built. It is an ultra-modern and minimalist construction with high-tech accessories.’

Guests can delight in coastal views to South Stradbroke Island and Fingal Head from the balcony and enjoy the warmth of the sun all year round thanks to the house’s floor-to-ceiling windows.
