Surf legend Lynch sells up Great Ocean Road home for $3.5m

SURFING legend Wayne Lynch’s Anglesea home, Namatjira, has been sold for $3.5 million.

The iconic coastal property, home to Lynch and his family for 35 years, was sold late last year to Clapmore Pty Ltd, a company associated with Andrew Grech, the managing director at Slater & Gordon and his wife, Daniela, according to industry reports.

It was initially listed for sale with a price tag of $5.5 million in 2010.

The Great Ocean Road property sits half-way between Anglesea and Aireys Inlet at Urquhart Bluff, on the Surf Coast locality.

A three-level house on 4.45 hectares of protected natural bush the property boasts privacy, solitude and spectacular coast views. It hosts wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and dozens species of birdlife.

Lynch was inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame in 1988 and was instrumental in the evolution of surfing from longboarding to shortboarding.

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 north coast of New South Wales.
