Award-Winning Glass Home | Forresters, Sleeps 8

Summary:

Glass walls. One hundred and eighty degrees of Pacific Ocean. Whales from the deck. Welcome to Sandcastle.



Sandcastle is an award-winning architectural home designed by Jon King — perched high on the sun-bleached dunes of Forresters Beach, glass-wrapped, and feeling genuinely suspended above the sea. For guests who want more than a beautiful view — who want to live inside one — there is nowhere else on the Central Coast like this.

The Neighborhood:

Forresters Beach is a peaceful coastal suburb on the Central Coast of New South Wales, situated between Terrigal and Bateau Bay. It’s best known for its long, sandy beach with reef breaks that attract surfers, quiet rock pools, and scenic ocean views — offering a more relaxed and uncrowded beach experience compared with some neighbouring towns.



The area has a friendly, laid-back community vibe with a small local hub of cafés, boutiques and services just minutes from the shoreline. It’s also surrounded by natural attractions like Wyrrabalong National Park, where coastal walking trails and lookouts provide panoramic views, whale watching opportunities, and peaceful bushland settings.



With a mix of relaxed residential streets, beachside homes and holiday rentals, Forresters Beach appeals to families, surfers, retirees and anyone seeking a serene coastal lifestyle. Its proximity to larger nearby centres like Terrigal and Erina means residents and visitors also enjoy convenient access to shops, dining and transport while still benefiting from the area’s natural beauty and quieter seaside charm.
