22 Murnong Circuit, Torquay VIC 3228

Lachlan Shepherd design | 8-star energy rated | heated lap pool | rooftop garden | Torquay coastal edge This property’s competitive strength lies in its architectural provenance and energy performance, both rare in a newly built Torquay house at this size. The 8-star rating with solar and battery storage reduces long-term holding costs, while the heated lap pool and rooftop garden add lifestyle differentiation that appeals to discerning owner-occupiers rather than investors. The open-plan northern light and concrete finishes suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, design-led coastal residence. The main risk is the 72% site coverage, which limits outdoor space and may feel dense for those accustomed to larger Torquay lots. The property’s price point sits above the local median for four-bedroom houses, narrowing the buyer pool and extending likely days on market. For an owner-occupier, the energy savings and architectural edge justify the premium; for an investor, the rental yield is modest. Hold as a primary residence or short-term holiday let to maximise the design and amenity advantage.
