Sandbanks enjoys a unique location on the peninsula, away from other towns and villages, as well as a beach “of the highest quality, with fine golden sand and clear, sparkling waters,” according to Visit Dorset.

Panorama Road, known as ‘Millionaire’s Row’, has just 13 houses, but is now the most expensive stretch of coastal property in the world, with a combined property value of £ 93million, Country life claimed in 2018.

Panorama Road’s total price per square foot exceeded that of waterfront streets in Miami and Monte Carlo, the cheapest property worth £ 5.2million in 2018.

The street is only 250 feet long and the narrow plots of each property are between 40 and 60 feet.

The properties on Panorama Road offer views of the second largest natural harbor in the world, with privacy at the front of the houses and gardens at the rear that run down to the water’s edge.

The property across the street once belonged to John Lennon and former football coach Harry Redknapp, and its architecture ranges from Tudor mansions to modern villas.

Adrian Dunford, realtors at Sandbanks Tailor Made, told the Daily mail in 2018: “We now believe this part of Sandbanks is the most expensive coastal part on the planet in terms of price per square foot.

“The multi-million pound mansions in Miami and Monte Carlo will be on plots of land much larger than those in Sandbanks.

“The problem with Sandbanks is that it’s a peninsula so we’re locked in. You can’t increase the number of properties and therefore supply and demand dictate the prices.

“This row of properties is located in the most enviable part of Sandbanks. The houses have direct access to the water and also overlook the busier part of the harbor.”

The cliffs and sandbanks of Canford seem like perfect places to relax on a sandy beach, soak up the rare English sunshine, and dream of living in one of these incredible homes.
