Namatjira, former champion surfer Wayne Lynch's Victoria coastal family haven, has been sold for $3.5 million.

The Great Ocean Road property sits about halfway between Anglesea and Airey's Inlet at Urquhart Bluff, on the Surf Coast locality.

Married to Lindy with two children, Jarrah and Merinda, Namatjira, has been in the family for 35 years. The property was registered in the name of Allan Lynch.

Lynch, who is a surfing ambassador for surfwear brand Patagonia, was reportedly considering a move to the NSW north coast of NSW.

The three-level house with expansive coastal views sits on 4.45 hectares of protected natural bush on the Great Ocean Road.

There is a three bedroom house plus separate three-bedroom bungalow.

It has been bought by Clapmore Pty Ltd, a company associated with Andrew Grech, the managing director at Slater & Gordon and his wife, Daniela.

Slater's lodged the paperwork for the transfer in the days before Christmas 2014.

Marius Tekin, of Hayden Real Estate, listed it for $3,995,000 in January last year.

It was initially listed at $5.5 million in 2010.

CoreLogic RP Data puts the Anglesea median house price at $640,000, just below its 2011 peaks.
