Kiama Heights Waterfront Gem Fetches $3.775 Million
A stunning, near-new waterfront residence at 26 Elanora Road, Kiama Heights, has officially found new owners after a successful sale for $3.775 million. The property, perched above the picturesque sweep of Loves Bay, offers uninterrupted ocean vistas, a highly sought-after feature in the tightly held Kiama coastal market.
This impressive four-level home, built just over a year ago, sits on a generous 733-square-metre block. It was first listed for sale in September 2025, according to property records. The successful buyer is a couple from the Southern Highlands, who intend to use the luxurious dwelling as a weekend retreat, with potential for holiday letting.
Craig Higbid of South Coast Prestige Properties Kiama, who managed the sale, described the property as a “quality home” with an enviable outlook. He noted that waterfront properties in this premium price bracket can sometimes take a little longer to attract the right buyer, but the unique appeal of 26 Elanora Road ultimately proved irresistible.
“The buyers were captivated by the expansive ocean and rural vistas,” Mr Higbid commented. “They also have a strong appreciation for the local area, particularly the popular Kiama-Gerringong walk, and the easy access to this amenity was a significant drawcard for them.”
The land itself boasts a rich history, having been held by the same family for over six decades, adding a layer of provenance to the modern build. Inside, the home showcases the warmth and elegance of spotted gum hardwood flooring. Accommodation is ample, with four well-appointed bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. The master suite, in particular, is a sanctuary of relaxation, offering panoramic ocean views that are sure to impress.
Further enhancing its appeal, the residence is future-ready, pre-wired for solar panel installation. It also features efficient reverse-cycle climate control for year-round comfort and practical rainwater storage tanks, underscoring a commitment to sustainable living.
Elanora Road’s Property Prowess
The desirability of Elanora Road was further highlighted in 2024 with a previous high-profile sale. A property at 42 Elanora Road, also boasting prime views over Loves Bay, changed hands for $4 million. This sale made headlines as the vendor achieved a remarkable gross profit of $750,000 in just a few years of ownership.
That particular residence, a five-bedroom home spanning 727 square metres, featured the sophisticated charm of Tasmanian Oak flooring, soaring cathedral ceilings, and a dedicated entertainment or rumpus room complete with a kitchenette. Outdoor living was catered for with a magnificent 10-metre in-ground saltwater pool, perfect for the Australian climate.
Property records indicated that 42 Elanora Road had previously sold in May 2021 for $3.25 million. This means that over a period of just three-and-a-half years, the seller realised an impressive annual gross profit exceeding $200,000. At the time of that transaction, selling agent Laurie Johnston confirmed the buyer was from Sydney, underscoring the enduring appeal of the South Coast for metropolitan investors and lifestyle buyers.
The recent sale of 26 Elanora Road reinforces Kiama Heights’ status as a premier destination for luxury coastal living. With its breathtaking views, high-quality construction, and prime location, it’s clear that properties in this exclusive pocket of the Illawarra continue to command significant interest and strong market performance. The combination of natural beauty, modern amenities, and proximity to desirable lifestyle attractions like the Kiama-Gerringong walk ensures that Elanora Road remains a benchmark for high-end real estate on the South Coast.
