Handcrafted sandstone walls add an earthy touch to the airy space which is warmed by a sleek fireplace and features a Calacatta marble island bench that makes a statement in the kitchen.

An informal dining area with curved seating adjoins an overhanging curved balcony, while hidden cabinets in the wood paneling conceal kitchen storage, refrigerator and bar.

On the first level of the three-story pad is the luxurious master suite which is filled with natural light thanks to the ‘window walls’ that open onto a long balcony; the ensuite has a luxurious round bath and marble sinks.

A curved powder room is fully decorated in a moody navy blue, while a black marble sink and custom-lit curved mirror exude a luxurious hotel atmosphere.

There are three further cozy bedrooms and a unique rumpus room on the lower level, where the floor walls, ceilings and recessed reading nook are painted in a stormy shade of blue.

Outside, the green plot runs down the cliff side. The organic pool mimics the contours of the ocean and a spiral staircase leads past the lush gardens to an open-air entertainment area.

An old red brick house was demolished to make way for the spectacular country house and the new building was designed by architect Madeleine Blachfield, who described the atmosphere of the house as follows. The Local Project as ‘harmonious with the landscape, and the most powerful and uplifting space to be in’.

Shell House is on the market for a whopping $35 million, but selling agent Michael Clarke of Clarke and Humel-owned Manly believes it is worth every penny for its unbeatable quality and showmanship.

‘It’s the quintessential Australian dream. Not only does it have the most remarkable views of Shelley Beach, which has twice won Tripadvisor’s Best Beach in the World, but it is also just a 100-metre walk away,” he told FEMAIL.

Michael said the agency, which he co-owns with his wife Cherie Humel, has received requests for Shell House from around the world and from people at the top of some of the world’s best-known companies.

‘It is architecturally stunning, the panoramic views from the double height ceilings are simply stunning.’

Michael said the agency, which he co-owns with his wife Cherie Humel, receives requests for Shell House from all over the world, including executives from well-known global companies.

Cherie said the breathtaking views are ‘immediately striking’ as you walk through the front door and was impressed by the ‘gravity-defying expanse of glass and enormous sliding doors’.

“Between the wood, the cut sandstone and the countertops there is a solidarity across the materials, there is also a curation and a complementary coming together of the materials,” she said.

‘There is a beautiful curved staircase that acts as a core or bond throughout the house, rising with a skylight above.

‘There are lots of landscaped open spaces and they all have their own improvements: there’s a pool level, then the entertainment lawn area and then the lower cave with a terrace. It has childlike characteristics that make it feel like an entertainer’s paradise.”
