Tucked along the stunning coastline of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Little Bay offers a rare combination of oceanside tranquility, lush native landscapes, and sophisticated living. With some of the lowest housing supply in Sydney, opportunities to secure a home in this tightly held enclave are few and far between — making the arrival of ESTE, a new residential development, all the more exciting.
Just a 25-minute drive from the Sydney CBD, Little Bay sits beside the Kamay Botany Bay National Park, an area rich with coastal bushland, Banksia scrub, and native flora. Despite its natural serenity, residents remain conveniently close to modern essentials — Westfield Eastgardens is only an 11-minute drive away, providing access to shopping, dining, and medical services.
A Rare Gem on Sydney’s Coastline
Architect Philip Thalis describes Little Bay as “one of Sydney’s hidden gems,” where sweeping ocean vistas meet preserved natural landscapes. The setting creates a distinctive charm that’s hard to find — not only in Sydney but in any major city.
Developed and constructed by the iCIRT-rated Urban Property Group, ESTE offers a collection of 94 architecturally designed apartments — from sleek one-bedroom layouts to expansive three-bedroom homes spanning over 160 square metres of internal living space. Each residence showcases premium materials such as natural stone and herringbone timber flooring, combining elegance with enduring quality.
Inspired by Nature, Designed for Lifestyle
The design of ESTE draws inspiration directly from its surroundings. Many apartments feature multiple orientations to welcome ocean breezes and maximise cross-ventilation, while others face north to capture the best of Sydney’s natural light.
A warm, sandstone-inspired colour palette connects the architecture seamlessly with the surrounding cliffs and coastline, creating a strong sense of place and harmony with nature.
“The buildings have been carefully positioned to frame views of the ocean and capture the changing light throughout the day,” says Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias. “Everything — from the material palette to the landscaping — reflects the coastal environment.”
Living Beyond the Walls
Residents will enjoy more than just breathtaking views. ESTE’s rooftop terraces provide a complete retreat experience — featuring workout pods, a sauna, barbecue areas, and garden beds for those who enjoy growing their own produce.
At the heart of it all sits the development’s most striking feature: a luxurious infinity pool overlooking the ocean, offering a space to unwind and connect with nature.
From sunrise swims to evening walks along the coastal tracks that link Malabar Headland and South Coogee Beach, life at ESTE feels effortlessly restorative. Whether you’re a downsizer seeking a premium coastal haven or a professional looking for a balanced lifestyle within reach of the CBD, ESTE captures the perfect blend of design, nature, and convenience.
As Thalis puts it, “The outlook will be just sensational.”
