A Mediterranean-style beach mansion with a private observatory is up for sale in Tennyson, the Adelaide beachside suburb.

The 1990-built house has unobstructed views over Gulf St Vincent, with the house backing directly onto sand dunes with a sandy footpath to the water.

It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms to wash the seawater off, and a variety of entertaining rooms across its three stories. The observation tower has 360-degree views over the surroundings.

Lynette McMahon from Phil McMahon Real Estate is the agent for the house, which sits on a 972-square-metre block of land. McMahon is looking to sell for $2.9 million plus to $3,190,000. McMahon bills the house as being “reminiscent of the beachside mansions of California”.

It lasted traded at $2.3 million in 2005.

The most recent beachfront sales on Tennyson Heights Court have been $2.1 million in December 2010 and a $1.65 million sale in March 2011.
