There are many reasons to fall in love with this Mediterranean-style mansion, including Seacliff’s expansive ocean and tree-lined views.
There’s also the fact that the property at 83 Marine Pde is expected to blow away the suburb’s current sales record of $2.7 million, which was last recorded in 2021.

On the market for the first time in 20 years, Harcourt Packham selling agent Paul Goodwin said the property was valued at $4.3 million.
“The owners traveled to the Mediterranean three times to get inspired and build it right, so there’s nothing like it on the market,” he said.
“This home sits on 1529sqm of land, in a secluded location, with over 600sqm of living space and plenty of outdoor entertaining.
“This house really has separate floors and an elevator, which is something you don’t see very often.”
Goodwin said it took four years to complete construction, with the owners sparing no expense to create a one-of-a-kind home.
This includes a sweeping staircase, Italian chandeliers, a pilastered archway, and a decorative ceiling dome.
Future owners will also be able to enjoy time in the home’s multiple living zones, including a formal dining room that opens to an oversized patio with views of the large inground pool.
The gourmet kitchen is equipped with European appliances and a stunning granite and jarrah bench.
The kitchen and family area includes a second family room with underfloor heating.
When the day is done, retreat to the expansive master suite or one of the other three spacious bedrooms with access to one of four bathrooms.
Other impressive amenities include a climate-controlled wine cellar, surround sound system, indoor blinds and electronic curtains, double garage, and ample off-street parking for guests.
Mr Goodwin said the home’s hefty price tag was likely to attract cash-saving buyers from interstate and overseas.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was sold to a European couple or someone of European descent,” he says.
“Again, many Asian buyers love European design, so we may see strong interest from that market as well.
“Also, more Americans with money are moving to Adelaide, so there could be a really wide range of buyers interested in this home.”
