“Gaelforce” | A Rare & Prized Deep Waterfront Sanctuary

7 bed 7 bath 3 car

At a time when connection and a sense of belonging matter more than ever, this remarkable home offers a rare and intimate sanctuary.

Positioned in what is arguably Palm Beach’s most coveted deep waterfront setting, “Rockpool” represents the pinnacle of Pittwater living. Complete with private jetty, boatshed, slipway and a stunning waterfront pool, it stands as a testament to the owners’ vision, refined taste and deeply considered design approach.

Arrival is both exhilarating and serene. Whether approaching by yacht, seaplane or via the picturesque one-hour drive from Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the experience culminates in the shimmering expanse of Pittwater—an internationally renowned waterway. From the moment you arrive, “Gaelforce” envelops you in a sense of calm, beauty and effortless coastal luxury.

Originally built in the 1940s in the Spanish Mission style, the home was recognised by its current owners as something truly special. Determined to honour its soul, they undertook a meticulous restoration, preserving and enhancing its original character. This vision was expertly realised by Bellevarde Constructions Pty Ltd, widely regarded among Sydney’s finest high-end residential builders.

Every element of the property has been thoughtfully curated, creating a residence that is as much a work of art as it is a home. From the architectural design to the interiors and furnishings, the estate will be offered almost entirely as presented.

The interiors, conceived by acclaimed designer Gael Boglione—renowned for her work including London’s iconic Petersham Nurseries—reflect a quiet sophistication. Her intuitive, understated approach draws out beauty in the simplest forms, with a refined elegance and attention to detail evident throughout.

A sculptural centrepiece, the master bedroom features a bespoke bed frame by Istanbul-based artist Asli Tunca, inspired by coral rising organically from the sea. Vintage elements are layered throughout the home, including 1940s leather dining chairs and exquisite Murano glass lamps, adding warmth and character.

Completing the setting, the magnificent Angophora trees are an irreplaceable feature of the landscape. In a testament to the care and respect underpinning the renovation, the entire project was completed without the removal of a single branch—preserving their natural beauty for generations to come.
