Beachfront villa
Webber's iconic joint right there at Spooks at Angourie.

One of the last great surfer houses, overlooking iconic surf reserve, lists for under $US1.4 million 

If you're a rich American surfer, where else you wanna park your money? The Ranch?

The absurdly pretty coastal hamlet of Angourie, a calming refuge five clicks from the burgeoning town of Yamba, is one e of those rare enclaves that has resisted the siren call of development.

Curbless streets, rocks pools, lawns a luminous green, everyone knows everyone, two world-class waves. If you’ve ever seen the 1971 surf classic Morning of the Earth, you’ll know the sequence of Baddy Treloar hacking the point to bits on a board he made in his backyard to the John J Francis song Simple Ben.

The birth of country soul. 

Me and my gal used to vacay in Angourie from our Gold Coast base in the nineties and the beachfront villa we always chose was one of Webber’s joints right there on The Crescent, a few hundred bounces from Spooky’s Point and Angourie Point just after that.

Epic places designed by Paul Witzig with oaring ceilings, wrap-around decks, ocean cameos etc. 

Webber being the daddy of master shaper Greg, as well as the almost as storied Will, Monty, John and Ben. 

Old man Webber, in his nineties now, is selling 1a & 1b/19 The Crescent, Angourie, currently two separate apartments, price guide somewhere between $1.7 to two mill Australian, and, well, let’s colour our lives with the selling literature and some photos. 

Award winning Architect design. Close to sheltered beaches, world-class surf, quaint cafes, and the famed Angourie Pools

Wake to the gentle rhythm of rolling waves and salt-laced sea breezes in this elevated Angourie retreat, where each day begins and ends with the ocean. Set within the breathtaking surrounds of Angourie Nature Reserve and Yuraygir National Park, these beach apartments are snuggly nestled within the relaxed seaside village where nature, community, and simplicity define the lifestyle.

Angourie is more than a destination – it’s a way of living. A place where mornings start with a swim or surf, neighbours exchange easy conversation, and the pace of life slows to match the tide. Endless blue horizons, coastal greenery, and that unmistakable holiday feeling become part of your everyday.

Designed by Award winning Architect Paul Witzig, the building embraces its natural setting. The three-level, treehouse-inspired, dual apartment home feels immersed in its surroundings. The alfresco deck is the heart of it all – private, peaceful, and framed by greenery – perfect for slow mornings with coffee, long, sunlit lunches, and relaxed evenings as the ocean hums in the background.

The lower apartment offers two generous bedrooms and a welcoming, open-plan living space, paired with a renovated bathroom-ideal for family or guests. Two private courtyards open onto the native gardens.

The upstairs apartment offers 1 bedroom and a mezzanine (loft) bedroom. The light-filled kitchen and living room flows seamlessly onto a wrap-around veranda. Here, indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly, inviting cooling sea breezes and soft, background murmur of conversations emanating from the village café.

A striking timber staircase leads to a private mezzanine retreat. With warm timber floors and ceilings, this elevated sanctuary sits among the treetops, capturing Pacific views and offering a quiet place to unwind-your own secluded escape above it all.

Outside, the lifestyle continues with private gardens that invite creativity and calmness, perfect for those who enjoy nurturing their own green space. A lock-up garage and additional carport provide practical ease, completing the home’s thoughtful design.

Life here is shaped by the coastline. The nearby Yuraygir Coastal Walk invites daily adventures, winding past untouched beaches, headlands, and coastal lakes. Walk the trail at the right time of the year and you’re sure to enjoy the bloom of native heath and catch sight of dolphins and migrating whales.

Angourie remains one of Australia’s most appealing coastal villages, home to the renowned Angourie Point-a world-class wave within a protected National Surfing Reserve. Spend your days exploring quiet beaches or swimming in the iconic Angourie Blue and Green Pools, a unique natural sanctuary beloved by locals.

This is more than a just a home – it’s a dual dwelling that provides unique options and it’s an opportunity to belong to something special. A coastal village community, a connection to nature, and a lifestyle where every day feels effortlessly like a holiday.

Looks like the WSL will pull one of those on hold check back every 45 minutes on repeat until dark. Fuck me just call it off for the day, the surf is fucked. Even Surfline says it’s crap.

Derek and Chas, all smart(rich) business owners like the BG partners should own real estate within their corporate entity to offset profits via favorable real estate depreciation and other beneficial expenses. So why not use some of your petty cash to buy this place so we can come join you for surfing safaris, political interventions with Otto and Com as well as others BG corporate events?

The problems with the Ranch include that it’s up to 45 minutes just get out of the place, then another 30 to the nearest conveniences (food, gas, etc). Second, the joint doesn’t get a ton of swell. Yes, there are some magical days peppered in but you’re gonna be waiting. Last, it gets cold as in the winter.

Hippy

forgot crowded and SB surf club

$1.4 mil US gets you 1/3 ownership of a piece of dirt at the Ranch but not on the beach. No house, no full ownership, just access to waves. You want an actual house on a full parcel? That’s gonna set you back about $6-10 mil US and it ain’t gonna be on the beach, more back in a canyon. Beachfront parcel with a house and full ownership? Get in line as they don’t come up for sale often. James Cameron sold his for about $26 mil in 2024.

How’s the sharky factor against the Oz average? Weather and water temps?

Barnycle

My impression is, and the Aussies can correct me if I’m incorrect, but prior to the carnage of 2024 and 2025 you were as likely to be killed in and around Angourie as any other spot in aus. Very, very sharky.

Seems in recent years that the south has taken the spotlight away from the east coast. Either way, if you choose to surf anywhere 200km north or south of Ang then you should have your affairs in order.

Just looked up the Wikipedia articles for shark deaths in US and then in Aus, and it’s so fucken sad. These monsters just picking people off. If California had the same protections as Aus then I think there’d be a tonne of more attacks and deaths.

The only lad I ever met from Angourie (one of the small towns in the area) was a swell fella. Salt of the earth, a real ripper and of Italian heritage (judging by his surname and given name). Had a real unique accent.

He was on walkabout in South and Central America (and a bit of the Caribbean) with a beat up, Rusty surfboard. Surfed really well. You’ll aussies sure do get about.

Dogsnuts

You must be at least 2 km from the beach or that perpetual sea mist will rot your brain and any possession worth owning. Give me trees!

Dez this interests me cuz I love Angas, have spent heaps of time down there cuz its only 2 and a bit hours from here and could sell my joint, buy this one, pay off the mortgage and still have a bit of coin left over.

However there are a few things that make it a no go. Firstly I would never leave my beloved, and perfect for me hometown and there is vey little work down there. Secondly now knowing you and your ex used to holiday in that joint puts all kinds of images in me brain that I really want to un see. But mainly the idea of “enjoying” early morning, neighbourly chats over the fence with Monty is so fucking horrific I would genuinely rather hack off me own prong with a blunt, rusty butter knife while Dogsnuts fingers me bum hole. Faaaaaaaaaark that

Occy's Nostril

Careful Cunt. 1 degree from the axe. Monty must write the great Surfer Coastal Realestate Conudrum. A story of love, loss & lust. Gorden fixed me up so no fucks given.

The Bitchy Crab

Don’t think Mont is in Angas, bruz.

Strayan Cunt

Oh really? I remember him in a recent article chatting away like he was a local down there?

Occy's Nostril

Mont is a man of the people. Wherever he is, he is the people. Sorry too much rack.

Dogsnuts

I can whisper sweet nothings while I finger your bumhole !

Well cunts my nostrils are hurting after yet another night on the rack. Missed the real estate updates recently. Thanks DR. Named & shamed a few spots but to be fair most new of them. If you want to sling me a few dollars Ill take ya down for a surf. You might get bashed a little. Tell em DR sentya. Then to a shaping ceremony at Dahlbergs, Welcome to country and a drinks at Wills. Writing retreat with Monty afterwards. Andrew Kidman will pick anyone interested at Cooly airport in his eBus so we stay carbon neutral. Any cunt that attends gets a Chuck Norris T Shirt & a Tyler Wright signed rainbow flag. Rip in cunts. Oh and tour of the realestate on offer. Occ.

At USD $1.4 million, that’s an absolute bargain – buy it!

Colac was pumping today

Strayan Cunt

Yeh I reckon they’ll run for sure with the long weekend crowds. What’s the go ya reckon bruz, cuppla pre brekky cold ones and straight on the live chat?

Andy C

Yeah, I already told the misso, if Bells is on, she can stick Good Friday lunch up her arse, I’m getting right on it, and to put the rubber sheets on and expect for her to sleep on the couch cos I’m gonna get piss the bed drunk.

Strayan Cunt

Hahahhaahahahahahahaha onyas ledge. Who are the commentators for this one, I missed the opening season intro

Andy C

I think the usual, although I don’t know how Flick’s gonna go. She’s running in the fifth at Pakenham tomorrow

Strayan Cunt

Is Flick back on? I thought she got booted for Joel Vaughns misses?

Andy C

Martin Potter ?

Say, you sign up for Surfival League?

Strayan Cunt

Na I didn’t brother, I play the original surfer mag fantasy that has been rebooted for this season by some of the boys from Astrodek from our original club. They are going to give away some swag to the winner of each event and our season winner has always received prizes from every member of the club from all over the world relevant to where they are from which is pretty sick. For example Jon Smith from here won last year and I am in the process of getting him a Kingy Boardriders tee signed by Dane Henry, Micah Margo and Chelsea Hedges so it’s heaps sick as I reckon. If anyone wants the sign in and deets let me know tonight before the season starts yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Strayan Cunt

Na mate I play in an OG club from the surfer mag fantasy days that has been rebooted by a few of the Astrodek boys who are long term members. They are going to give away some swag to every event winner and the season champ gets sent prizes from every member around the world that is representative of where they are from. For example I am in the process of sending Jon Smith from here who won last year a Kingy Boardriders T signed by Micah Margs, Chelsea and future world champ Dane Henry so they get some really sick prizes. If anyone wants the deets and log in to the club let me know tonight before the season starts. Sorry I thought I just posted this but have had a few knock off beers so must have forgot to hit the comment button hahahahaha
