Beachport real estate has soared to new heights with a record multi-million-dollar sale achieved for “Seaview” on Beach Road.

The two-storied landmark has commanding views of Rivoli Bay and a local building company had been contracted to construct it in 2015/16.

It was listed for sale late last year by South East Property Sales and Management.

Agency principal Fiona Telfer conducted successful sale negotiations over the recent Easter holiday long weekend.

“The new owner of Seaview is an interstate buyer with family connections back in Beachport,” Ms Telfer said.

“It is a record price for a Beachport property by $100,000.”

It is the second house on this site to have been called “Seaview” with the original dwelling demolished around a decade ago.

The builder of the first “Seaview” was Charles Willoughby Chambers (now deceased).

He commenced building a large Mount Gambier stone home “Seaview” just after World War II.

The house was situated on two blocks of land on the corner of Corigliano Street and Beach Road.

Mr Chambers built the house using the stone ashlars he cut with a hand saw from the large blocks of Mount Gambier stone.

He would fish for lobsters in the sea and mullet in Lake George.

As well as fishing, Mr Chambers helped build the kiln and had been manager of Wood’s & Company, chicory factory at Rendelsham.
