A glamourous four-bedroom, resort-style Sanctuary Lakes mansion could set a new residential property price record for the area.

Eleven Pelican Point Road, is being offered for sale through Sanctuary Lakes Real Estate with an asking price of between $2.65 million and $2.85 million.

The record price in Sanctuary Lakes is $2.65 million, for a house in Greg Norman Drive sold in 2017.

Sanctuary Lakes Real Estate director Fadi Saad said the Pelican Point house, on about 865 square metres, was known as “The Elysian” due to its many “paradise-like” features.

Mr Saad said the house featured a geometric curved staircase handcrafted in New Zealand.

The three-level house has four bathrooms, a heated in-ground swimming pool with views of the waterfront, an entrance with a crystal chandelier, a double-car garage and a self-contained studio with kitchen and bathroom.

“It’s totally bespoke all the way through – nothing in this house is standard,” Mr Saad said.

“It’s a resort-style home with fantastic views in a triple-A location.

“From a big picture perspective, a property like this represents extremely good value for what it has to offer.

“If you were to find something else, in Williamstown or similar parts of Melbourne which could offer a similar lifestyle, you would be looking to pay in excess of $5 million to $6 million – and that might not even get you living on a lake with a golf course nearby, like this property is.”

Mr Saad said that the house’s owners were downsizing. The property is attracting interest from overseas buyers.
