Gillespie said she moved with her children to the area, which they both love to visit, while deciding where to live after seeing a house for sale.

“We liked the location and took the plunge,” he said.

“We had a great seven years there. It's a great place.”

The two-storey, five-bedroom residence with an infinity-edge pool is set on an 898sq m block overlooking the Links Lady Bay golf course and the sea.

Gillespie said she loved sitting outside in her cabana, reading a book and admiring the view.

“I always love my morning cup of tea sitting on the balcony overlooking the water,” he said.

“That's pretty special.

“We love Normanville and it will always be a part of who we are.

“We're a little reluctant[to sell]because we love the place and the location, but for where we and our family are right now, we need to be in the city.”

Jeremy Parsons, director of Fleurieu Lifestyle Properties, which is marketing the home with Bonnie Willsmore, said it was the epitome of resort-style living.

“It's a great spot.”
