Live Your dream in this Castle in The Clouds*

When the owners of this magnificent beach house were twice refused a planning permit, a smarty local reporter wrote a piece in the local paper proudly proclaiming No Castle in The Clouds for Inverloch. An appeal to VCAT saw this refusal overturned, and the house became a reality. Changes in regulations mean this house could not be built today, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this unique beach property.
