Rarely do such jewels present in such a location. The Emu Bay region known as 'Wallaby Run' offers absolute coastal frontage and access to the spectacular Emu Bay Beach.

Mother nature herself has delicately balanced the native bushland, wildlife & dune system to encourage you to harmonise with your surrounds.

The 15.75 hectare (approx. 39 acres) property is both unique and diverse with over 800 metres of frontage to the coastal reserve. The location and abundance of native wildlife is appealing for tourism, together with the central location being just a 15 minute drive from Kingscote or the airport.

This exclusive location offers two eco-friendly residences, a contemporary and stylish holiday home, aptly named 'A Dune Escape,' designed to capture maximum privacy. The second residence a more 'tropical oasis,' demonstrating an authentic representation of an idyllic KI lifestyle. Both residences offer total off grid living, with solar power/battery, solar hot water and rainwater tank storage.
