A true showpiece of country charm hits the market

Standing tall on Gunning’s main thoroughfare is a regal building with plenty of stories to tell.Built in the late 1800s as the Commercial Bank of Sydney, <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/105-yass-street-gunning-nsw-2581/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">105 Yass Street</a> is well over a century old. These days, though, it’s an elegant five-bedroom, two-bathroom home that accentuates original features while offering all the expected modern comforts. The residence stands on an oversized block of 2521 square metres, surrounded by country gardens and mature eucalypts.<img alt="105-yass-street-gunning-nsw-2581-109841-image-0-20241010033302427853-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/105-yass-street-gunning-nsw-2581-109841-image-.width-800.jpg" width="800">Rural sales specialist <a href="/agents/ian-blackburn/">Ian Blackburn</a> of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mccann-properties/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McCann Properties</a> describes the home as a prime example of late Victorian rural architecture.“From 14-foot ceilings with decorative panels and ornate chandeliers to original Yellowbox hardwood flooring and no less than seven fireplaces, every room has features that are steeped in history,” he says.“Even the old bank vault remains, though it has been converted into a convenient wine cellar.”<img alt="105-yass-street-gunning-nsw-2581-109841-image-0-20241020224757365623-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/105-yass-street-gunning-nsw-2581-109841-image-.width-800_k3M5wR0.jpg" width="800">The atmosphere here is certainly grand but also comfortable.

Every room is warm and comfortable – you don’t feel like you’re rattling around in a sterile mansion, and it’s rather easy to imagine yourself relaxing with loved ones in each space.”<img alt="58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0-20240910083203335815-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0.width-800_E4wcEiC.jpg" width="800">Stepping through the window-lined front doors into a sleek entry hall, visitors are drawn through to the first of two living spaces. The standout feature in this semi-formal lounge is its towering fireplace, framed by soft downlights.Explore a little further, past the modern galley kitchen, and you’ll find the rumpus room. A fireplace is again showcased, but this time, your gaze is greeted by meticulously hand-crafted sandstone.Recycled timber floors lead back through the large dining room to the main kitchen, which is well-equipped with a Falcon Professional Classic oven, six burner stove and walk-in pantry.<img alt="58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0-20240910083204451459-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0.width-800_EL2T3Cs.jpg" width="800">Three bedrooms and two bathrooms take up the remainder of the ground floor, each with a gentle colour palette to promote rest and relaxation.Upstairs is the master suite and study. The views from inside and out on the covered balcony, Ellie says, are vast.“No matter where you are on the upper floor, you get a spectacular view across sloping hilltops, often right to the horizon.“The sunsets out here are just divine, and with a backdrop of such gorgeous gardens, it’s like you’re in your own little slice of paradise.”Bythorne continues to shine outdoors with layered terraces, manicured lawns, hand-crafted stone walls, bespoke sculptures and fully irrigated gardens set on almost 20 acres of land. Nestled among them is a full-sized tennis court with lights and a solar-heated inground pool.<img alt="58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0-20240910083213050989-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="449" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/58-bingley-way-wamboin-nsw-2620-107898-image-0.width-800_Hmo8Mqo.jpg" width="800">The main house has a roof-fitted sprinkler system for bushfire protection, supported by two dams, a licensed bore and 90,000 litres of stored rainwater. There is also a standalone 20 kVA solar system.There’s even a modern yurt that would be the perfect hobby or studio space, plus a good-sized paddock at the back of the property for horse enthusiasts. The covered and irrigated veggie patch/orchard is brimming with heritage fruit trees, including apples, pears, plums, apricots and nectarines. There’s also a bunker that handily doubles as a wine cellar.To Ellie, the manor’s design is utterly faultless.“Being 15 minutes from Bungendore and an easy half hour from central Canberra, Bythorne would suit a large family or avid entertainer who dreams of being surrounded by nature while remaining close to town,” she says.“I’m quite lucky in that I get to see many wonderful homes through my work, but this stands out as one of the really special ones. It’s a property I could easily see myself living in and I can’t wait to see who gets to call it home next.”58 Bingley Way, Wamboin is priced in the vicinity of $3.5 million.

A Treehouse-inspired haven among majestic gum trees

Some years ago, master builder Andy Galovic and his wife Wendy embarked on a quest for a plot of land with a perfect north-to-south orientation on which to realise a trailblazing vision: a low-carbon, cost-efficient architectural marvel, imbued with green energy principles.

This includes one beamless wall running from north to south made almost entirely of glass from floor to ceiling. The ceilings and roofs were constructed on the ground and later lifted to towering heights atop the structure to achieve a seamless finish.Natural light filtering through vast voids, courtyards and thoughtfully positioned windows creates a solar-passive, energy-efficient home with proportions and aesthetics befitting a luxury resort getaway.“Before we even put it on the market, we had one buyer tell us they had spent a half-hour looking at the photos and video and said it was without a doubt a 10 out of 10. They had never seen its equal,” Monique says.“Anyone who sees it for themselves will have to agree.”<img alt="17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-image-0-20240403004648447250-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-i.width-800_t52Zn4r.jpg" width="800">The 25-metre Lautner “knife’s-edge” lap pool is quite possibly the only one of its kind in the country and comes complete with a Remco Swimroll automated pool cover, saltwater system, Apricus evacuated tube solar heating (the only pool solar heating that also heats in winter), a Viron 10 control system and in-floor cleaning.Thanks to strategically placed windows this aquatic masterpiece can be seen from the four bedrooms, each of which contains its own ensuite. The master bedroom suite features a spacious walk-in robe, dressing area and a luxurious ensuite with a stone bath with overflow, a remote-controlled twin shower with temperature and flow control, handmade Spanish three-dimensional feature tiles and a heated towel rail.The home incorporates state-of-the-art amenities throughout, including a multimedia room with bamboo batten ceilings to absorb sound, and a remote-controlled sound attenuating curtain, all coming together to transport you in cinematic experiences.<img alt="17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-image-0-20240205231643206949-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-i.width-800_F5vzxIl.jpg" width="800">The kitchen that reigns supreme over the open-plan living and dining areas is a triumph.Overlooking the sparkling pool, this masterpiece of design and functionality centres around expansive 80 mm stone benchtops and comes equipped with top-of-the-line Miele appliances including twin ovens, a 900 mm multi-zone induction cooktop and a dishwasher, as well as a Sirius retractable rangehood.The spacious adjoining butler’s pantry comes complete with a wine cellar, including wine fridges.With an integrated outdoor kitchen equipped with premium appliances, an Elite wood-fired pizza oven, an integrated twin-door stainless steel fridge, a Beef Eater Signature barbecue and cafe blinds, the outdoor entertainment area offers al fresco splendour.“This space is a seamless extension of luxury living and offers an enchanting setting for memorable gatherings,” Monique says.<img alt="17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-image-0-20240819011636888701-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-i.width-800_9KKRxAO.jpg" width="800">Loads of storage – from custom-built closets to discreet storage nooks, combine with masterly concealment of the logistic elements to offer a clutter-free lifestyle and ever-sleek aesthetic.The home also features a spacious office, a dedicated gym, a six-car garage with internal drainage, and a Husqvarna Hiperfloor polished concrete floor with underfloor heating in the living areas, laundry, entry and ensuites.<img alt="17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-image-0-20240205231645670707-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-i.width-800_5Y5g9uJ.jpg" width="800">The additional sustainability and luxury features are too numerous to list, but notably include twin solar hot water systems and three-phase power, a 7.125 kW solar system, NBN fibre to the premises with twin routers, video intercom and electric door release, twin routers for complete Wi-Fi coverage and reduced latency, a custom TV lift in the living room, reverse cycle air-conditioning with Wi-Fi connectivity and remote controlled solar shades to the western windows.Adjoining Killalea State Park and The Farm Beach and only a short walk or drive from The Marina, The Links Golf Course &amp; Tavern, Shell Cove Public School, Shellharbour Village cafes and shops, Stockland’s Shopping Centre, Shellharbour Junction Train Station, Shellharbour Airport and Jamberoo Action Park, the home offers easy access to all the surrounding conveniences.That is if you ever feel the need to leave the house, which Monique says cannot be captured by words or pictures.“You can’t begin to understand the unprecedented luxury and innovation afforded by this home, until you see it in the flesh,” Monique says.“It is superlative in both its vision and execution.”17 Lakelands Close, Shell Cove is for sale by negotiation.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://regionillawarra.com.au/author/ddavid/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dione David</a> for <a href="https://regionillawarra.com.au/master-builders-own-home-offers-lifestyle-beyond-imagination/20178/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RegionIllawarra.</a>

Shell Cove property offers a lifestyle beyond imagination

Designed for simple, comfortable living and built from four steel shipping containers, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">9 Binnowee Place</a> at Bawley Point champions sustainability in one of the most beautiful hamlets in the region.Halfway between Batemans Bay and Ulladulla, Bawley Point is a small community with a mixture of long-time locals and regular Canberra weekenders. Surrounded by pristine beaches and native rainforest, the quiet village offers peaceful living without the inconvenience of through traffic.<img alt="9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-image-0-20240819081651256739-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-.width-800.jpg" width="800"><a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/raine-horne-mollymook-milton/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raine &amp; Horne</a> sales agent <a href="/agents/robert-granger/">Robert Granger</a> grew up in the region and knows it well.“Bawley Point is very popular with families since it’s so kid-friendly, he says.“It has multiple beaches, nature trails and wildlife spots to explore, and you can often spot older kids jumping off The Gantry as a bit of a rite of passage.“9 Binnowee Place is in a prime location in the village, on a large block bordered by a reserve that offers great privacy and acts as a convenient shortcut to shore.”The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home was brought to life in 2020 by the current owner, who is a builder by trade. The unique container design, encased in Spotted Gum, was built with fireproofing and sustainability in mind. It was also featured in Owner Builder magazine in 2021.<img alt="9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-image-0-20240819081655373004-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-.width-800_8HBtM8R.jpg" width="800">“Everywhere you look, the current owner has made a feature of something recycled, rescued or refurbished,” Robert says.“A great example of this is the timber balustrade on the stairs. The stairs themselves are cut from a single Norfolk Island pine tree, but the balustrade was salvaged from a burned tree nearby and hand-crafted into something beautiful.“There are loads of little touches like this throughout the house, and they all have a story of their own.”<img alt="9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-image-0-20240819081657692829-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-.width-800_tRYvmVX.jpg" width="800">Full of rustic character, the ground level hosts an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, the main bathroom, and a combined laundry and pantry.Floor-to-ceiling windows make this space seem larger than life, keeping the beautiful natural surroundings front of mind and taking advantage of the home’s north-facing aspect for a sunny, airy feel. A timber combustion fireplace brings extra warmth and ultra-cosy ambience in cool weather.“Sliding doors can be opened in the warmer months to enjoy that coastal breeze, and if it’s really hot, you can simply pop on the air conditioning and relax under the ceiling fans,” Robert says.“Yes, this is a sustainable home, but it isn’t lacking in any modern comforts.”Timber accents, including bamboo floors, recycled hardwood cabinetry and marine plywood walls, flow from the ground floor upstairs. Here, the master bedroom awaits, with its own ensuite and private balcony. A few steps in the other direction are two more bedrooms, each with a view to the serene outdoors.<img alt="9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-image-0-20240819081654048748-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567-.width-800_3vuwa5R.jpg" width="800">9 Binnowee Place sits on a battle axe block of 1147 square metres. The low-maintenance garden houses an outdoor bath and shower connected to hot water, a charming chicken coop and a small greenhouse ready for cultivation.There’s also a large shed with a garage and workshop space, as well as a small studio perfect for visitors or as a retreat for a teenager. It has been run successfully as an Airbnb by the current owner.Two 10,000-litre water tanks and a 6.6 kW solar system keep running costs low and offer a foundation for self-sufficiency.“Number 9 is a great opportunity for anyone looking to invest in a holiday home or wants to move to a tightly held community that really embodies the ultra-enviable coastal lifestyle,” Robert says.“There’s nothing left to do – just move in, make it your own and enjoy a simpler life by the beach.”9 Binnowee Place, Bawley Point is for Sale by negotiation (in the vicinity of $1,250,000).<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/9-binnowee-place-bawley-point-nsw-2539-106567/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/bawley-point-container-home-masterfully-combines-rustic-charm-and-sustainable-living/802116" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>
