The Space:
Set across approximately 7.5 acres of stunning coastal land, Janacwal isn’t just a luxury holiday home—it’s a launchpad for adventure and a sanctuary for the soul. Tucked away on a quiet road with only four properties and bordered by the wild beauty of the Great Otway National Park, this is where you truly disconnect… and come alive.
Surrounded by world-class mountain bike trails that wind through ancient forests and just minutes from the legendary waves of Bells Beach and the golden sands of Point Addis, Janacwal places you at the heart of the Surf Coast’s most exhilarating natural playground. Hike, ride, surf, explore—or do absolutely nothing at all. The choice is yours.
Designed by renowned architect Tony Hobba, the three-level residence is elevated to capture sweeping views of the valley and ocean. With four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple indoor living zones, there’s room to spread out, connect, or retreat. Whether you’re fireside after a day in the surf, gathered for games in the living room, or stealing a quiet moment to reset, the home adapts effortlessly to every kind of stay.
Outside, the experience continues. A sun-drenched pool with a bar and entertaining area. A full-size tennis court. Landscaped gardens that roll gently toward a peaceful private dam. Every space has been crafted for enjoyment, movement, and reflection.
Just 75 minutes from Melbourne, Janacwal is an escape that feels a world away. Whether you come for the thrill of the trails, the pull of the ocean, or the serenity of nature, you’ll find a place that moves at your pace—and stays with you long after you leave.
