The result is a home of exceptional architectural clarity, quality and enduring appeal.

Coastal Living
Thoughtfully renovated by its second owners, Ling House has been brought into the present while retaining its original character and integrity.

Floor-to-ceiling timber-framed windows draw the coastal landscape deep into the interior. The expansive open-plan living area and adjoining balcony appear suspended between ocean and courtyard, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out.

Warm timber wall linings, joinery and doorways contrast with whitewashed brick walls, while exposed rafters extend beyond the building to provide shade and reinforce its connection with the outdoors.

Generous living spaces feature lofty raked ceilings, exposed beams and indirect lighting, creating an inviting setting for family and friends.

The beautifully appointed Miele kitchen enjoys an exceptional outlook along Boomer Beach towards Knights Beach at Port Elliot, with views of the famous Cockle Train passing on weekends and during holiday periods.

The main living room centres around a gas fireplace, with expansive picture windows framing a spectacular panorama from Seal Rock and Granite Island through to The Bluff at Encounter Bay.

Beautiful floor tiles provide a practical, low-maintenance finish for coastal living. Bathrooms and laundry feature sophisticated neutral finishes and quality appointments, complemented by Carrara marble pendants.

The master bedroom is a private retreat with glorious ocean views and extensive built-in cabinetry incorporating the home's original timber louvre joinery. Concealed behind the cabinetry, the ensuite features a Caesarstone vanity, mirrored storage, large shower and WC, with a split-system air conditioner seamlessly integrated into the joinery.

A second generous bedroom also captures the sea views and provides extensive storage.

All three bedrooms accommodate king-size beds or twin king singles, with abundant storage throughout.

Year-round comfort is provided by split-system air conditioning to the living room, master bedroom, second bedroom and games/bunk room, with ceiling fans in bedrooms two and three.

Beneath the main residence, a substantial games and bunk room is accessed via the front external staircase. This versatile space could serve as a home office, gym, teenage retreat or guest accommodation.

Courtyard & Outdoor Living
The expansive front garden features sweeping easy-care lawns, coastal banksias and a magnificent stand of mature hydrangeas - a familiar hallmark of the area.

Three distinctive mid-century modern boulders within the lawn have remained a local landmark since the home's inception.

Cleverly designed around a central courtyard, the house creates a private, sheltered outdoor sanctuary while separating living and sleeping zones.

Paved and accessed directly from the kitchen, the courtyard is ideal for relaxed entertaining. Palm Springs-inspired plantings of cacti, aloe, alocasia and yucca reinforce the home's mid-century character.

Fenced side and rear gardens provide a secure environment for children and dogs.

The elevated corner allotment offers excellent off-street parking, with a two-car garage and additional vehicle accommodation accessed from Hayward Street and Alexander Street.

A Rare Architectural Offering
Few coastal homes bring together mid-century modern architecture, social history, established landscape and contemporary lifestyle quite like Ling House.

Chappel's design captures the optimism and experimentation of its era, while its thoughtful renewal ensures it remains highly relevant today.

Swimming, surfing, boating, fishing, walking and entertaining are all close at hand, with the white sands of Hayborough Beach approximately 100 metres away.

Protected by Oliver's Reef, the coastline offers opportunities to watch dolphins riding the waves and migrating Southern Right Whales during winter.

Positioned in one of Victor Harbor's tightly held coastal settings, Ling House is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes from Adelaide.

More than a beach house, Ling House is a rare piece of South Australian mid-century modern architectural history - thoughtfully renewed, beautifully maintained and ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
