Geelong off-the-plan apartment sale breaks records

MONNO has just smashed its own record. After setting a $4.5M benchmark in 2023, the team has now topped it with a $5.715M sale at Stella Maris, their $130M waterfront development.

The buyer secured a stunning 307sqm residence, featuring generous living zones, including a 147sqm terrace that opens up to uninterrupted views of the bay, St Helens Park, and the Geelong CBD. Perfect for entertaining, the home comes complete with a showpiece wine room and a fully equipped butler’s pantry to handle the catering.

And there’s more on the horizon. MONNO has just unveiled Nautica House, the final and most prestigious release at Stella Maris. With only 15 residences available, this exclusive collection promises permanent, never-to-be-built-out waterfront living for those who expect the very best.

Each residence within Nautica House embodies a seamless blend of architecture and nature, with two dedicated open-plan living spaces, three-metre ceilings, and expansive outdoor areas designed to embrace the majesty of the unobstructed waterfront views that surround.  

At the heart of each home is a unique gallery space for display of the resident’s personal art collection. The residences also feature an array of spaces to relax and unwind, as well as a private study for comfortably working within the home.  

Construction is well underway on the project, which is on track for completion in Q4 of this year.  

“We designed Stella Maris, and in particular, Nautica House with a specific purchaser in mind,” said MONNO managing director, Geno Hubay.  

“We have focused on the living experience for residents - with secure storage for bikes and golf clubs, spaces to host guests and entertain - everything our purchasers are getting from their current home and more.” 

Selling agent Jim Cross of McGrath Projects, Geelong added, “It’s no surprise to us that this project continues to hold the price record for Geelong. 

"Nautica House offers an unparalleled level of luxury, unlike anything which has been delivered in Geelong and indeed, anything we are likely to see in years to come. 

“As the project moves towards completion, we are expecting sales to accelerate. We have already sold more than 75% of the residences and will likely sell out prior to completion.” 

Nautica House’s boutique collection of 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom waterfront residences has been sculpted from the finest materials by award-winning architect and interior designer Rothelowman and landscape architect Acre. They are designed to cultivate private living with extensive acoustic treatment to allow apartment living to feel like a standalone home. 

Residents will have access to an array of luxury hotel-style amenities, including a well-equipped gymnasium, a dedicated space for yoga and Pilates, a steam room, and a 20-metre lap pool. Thoughtfully designed communal spaces extend to outdoor seating and dining areas, a built-in kitchen and BBQ, an edible garden, and even a dog and car wash facility. For convenience and security, contactless parcel lockers are also provided.

Perched along the pristine shores of Corio Bay, Nautica House offers sophistication and craftsmanship, setting a new benchmark for premium living in the Geelong region’s most sought-after community. With breathtaking bay views, bespoke interiors, and world-class design by award-winning architects, Rothelowman, each residence is a statement of refined elegance.  

Nautica House is due for completion in Q4 2025.
