About Regional

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.

Freshly completed on an astounding 962 sqm block in a quiet cul-de-sac, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">17 Lakelands Close, Shell Cove</a> pushes the boundaries of design and building execution to yield “a one-off you’ll probably never see again” according to selling agent <a href="/agents/monique-field/">Monique Field</a>.“This home invites you to step into a realm of unparalleled luxury and innovation, and offers a lifestyle beyond imagination,” she says.<img alt="17-lakelands-close-shell-cove-nsw-2529-94940-image-0-20240819011636556664-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.jpg" width="800">Many of the design features could only be accomplished by a master builder on a mission, using out-of-the-box methods to achieve architectural wonder. 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>

Rustic charm meets modern innovation in Bawley Point

Set on a gentle ridgeline overlooking the quiet suburbs of Pambula Beach, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom property at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">47 Jinjera Parade</a> is aptly known as ‘Sunnyside’.Clad in Yellow Stringybark with Spotted Gum flooring and Ironbark decking, Sunnyside pays homage to native coastal forests, sandy soils and the nearby ocean at every turn.<img alt="47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560-image-0-20240819071651283674-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-10656.width-800_isRHpR6.jpg" width="800">Sales agent <a href="/agents/team-dwyer-david-tania/">Tania Dwyer</a> of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/dwyer-properties/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dwyer Properties</a> has a lot of love for Pambula and the wider Merimbula region, having lived locally for many years. Since there are limited opportunities to build in the area, Tania says the market is tightly held and properties like this one don’t come around often.“My favourite thing about this property is the way it showcases natural light and ocean views in every room,” she says.“It’s north facing so stays delightfully warm in winter and is kept cool in summer by modern louvres that capture the ocean breeze.“It’s also in a great location – Jinjera Parade is a quiet street with unmatched views of the coast all the way up to Merimbula Wharf. You can actually stand on the balcony and watch whales frolicking in the bay, which is incredibly special.”<img alt="47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560-image-0-20240819071650030174-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-10656.width-800.jpg" width="800">The home’s grand entryway leads into an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. With its wall of windows and bright colour palette, this space effortlessly brings the outside in.“There’s a gentle ambience as soon as you walk in,” Tania says.“Lots of little touches make life here ultra-relaxed, such as the gas fireplace, integrated speaker system, top-of-the-line European appliances and soundproofing between floors.”Perfect for outdoor entertaining, the kitchen’s bifold windows open onto the balcony, which features a rustic alfresco area with its own barbecue. This is where the true beauty of number 47’s ocean views is best appreciated.<img alt="47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560-image-0-20240819071653909904-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-10656.width-800_6pd54BN.jpg" width="800">To the left of the kitchen is the oversized master bedroom and ensuite, as well as a powder room and flexible office space.“You could easily convert the office into a fifth bedroom or studio,” Tania says.“There’s also a little courtyard off to the side. It’s ultra-private – the perfect spot to read a book, listen to music or plant a small container garden.”<img alt="47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560-image-0-20240819071652090767-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-10656.width-800_KboBOR8.jpg" width="800">Downstairs are three more bedrooms, all with fresh, luxurious carpets and built-in wardrobes, the family bathroom, spacious laundry and rumpus room.Every window looks out to the main attraction – the 13 x 6-metre pool and entertaining deck. Thanks to an electric heat pump and solar blanket, the pool can be heated to a balmy 28 degrees and enjoyed any time of year.A 9 kW solar system on the roof takes in the abundant coastal sun, lowering energy bills and providing sustainable power throughout the day.The carefully landscaped gardens surrounding the home are low maintenance and showcase hardy Australian natives that thrive in the region.<img alt="47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-106560-image-0-20240819071659835212-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/47-jinjera-parade-pambula-beach-nsw-2549-10656.width-800_3WbZZ3Q.jpg" width="800">Pambula Village offers plenty of retail therapy alongside charming cafes and the historic pub. There’s also the vibrant Longstocking Brewery, Banksia fine dining restaurant, and a number of award-winning oyster producers to explore.Tania believes number 47 would best suit a family or professional couple looking to relocate to a quiet section of the South Coast. Pambula’s Surf Club and patrolled beach are just a short walk away, as is the local school.“The current owners raised their children here,” she says.“Having made many memories walking the kids to school, strolling on the beach, hosting get-togethers by the pool and dinner parties on the balcony, they’re now ready to downsize.“It’s a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world, and all the hard work has been done for you.

Every piece of craftsmanship shows a quality and aesthetic you just don’t get anymore.“Feedback from potential buyers so far has been overwhelmingly positive, full of love and a healthy amount of surprise for the home’s sprawling nature. The property was also featured in Vogue Australia in 1989 for its individual approach to architecture.”The property’s first residence is set up as a one-bedroom private getaway. Stepping through the breezeway into the entry foyer, visitors are greeted by an open-plan kitchen, dining room and lounge room surrounded by warm teal walls.Vaulted ceilings, large windows and timber accents bring the surprisingly large space together, and the original fireplace keeps everything cosy during chilly weather. Soft downlights brighten each room, accentuating the natural sunbeams filtering through.A floating staircase leads to the loft bedroom and modern ensuite. Gentle pink and ochre hues are found here, framing views of Tuross Lake, nearby mountains and the ocean beyond.<img alt="3-hawdons-cove-tuross-head-nsw-2537-106155-image-0-20240812034648248795-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="601" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-hawdons-cove-tuross-head-nsw-2537-106155-ima.width-800_ihMNNLF.jpg" width="800">Charming masonry steps lead from the first residence to the second. This home spans three levels, with two bedrooms and a bathroom found below, a recently renovated kitchen/dining above, and loft lounge space on top.Vaulted ceilings dominate once again, dotted with small skylights and surrounded by windows of all shapes and sizes. Coloured glass pendant lights resemble floating flowers overhead, and reverse-cycle air conditioning offers year-round climate control, supported by a combustion fireplace that brings its own intimate atmosphere.Number three also features two garages with hoists to suit the avid DIY enthusiast, workshopper or car lover. Plenty of storage can be found in the second garage, which also features a loft.<img alt="3-hawdons-cove-tuross-head-nsw-2537-106155-image-0-20240812034650035262-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="601" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-hawdons-cove-tuross-head-nsw-2537-106155-ima.width-800_5dSon9n.jpg" width="800">Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped with a trickling stream and low-maintenance plants, including native ferns and eucalyptus. There are multiple sunny decks and private sitting spaces for the outdoor entertainer to choose from.“Tuross Lake is just a few steps away and the new owner will also have access to a communal jetty,” Lyne says.“This property is really special. Whoever takes it on will appreciate the many little touches that make it unique, whether they be a growing family, retiree couple or investor looking to turn it into a standout holiday home.”Tuross Head is a small, laid-back community with a peaceful outlook over the Pacific Ocean.

A true haven for those seeking serenity by the sea

It’s hard to know what’s most spectacular about this Wallaroo property: the incredible bush surroundings and river frontage, the breathtaking build that makes the most of the setting or the stunning interior design features.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> licensed real estate agent <a href="/agents/mark-johnstone/">Mark Johnstone</a> says this riverside home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">156 McCarthy Road</a> in Wallaroo is the height of lifestyle properties.<img alt="156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-image-0-20240402233215670455-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">“This is a property for the discerning buyer looking for a peaceful lifestyle,” Mark says.“It is distinctly different from anything else on the market because of the river views, where there’s about 240 metres of river frontage.”Visitors arrive at the architecturally designed home by passing through native bushland and driving up the sealed road frontage to the entryway.The main home has been built in a contemporary style with a solar passive design.“A clever use of angles, ceiling heights and positioning of the property on the block means it seamlessly blends in with the surrounding bushland,” Mark says.“The interior and exterior flow incredibly well and you can step through the home and find ample room for any activity.”<img alt="156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-image-0-20240402233218605751-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-imag.width-800_Wj4Z7uo.jpg" width="800">Built in 2009, the home was named the Housing Industry Association’s country home of the year for the ACT and southern NSW.It features four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.Two other bedrooms are on the same level and a fourth is downstairs.At this home, the natural world is never far away. It starts with the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, which offer seamless views to the outside world.The kitchen boasts stone benchtops and an expansive butler’s pantry.“The lounge room, the family room and kitchen are all north-facing to capture as much of the winter sun as possible,” Mark says.“The floor-to-ceiling windows give everyone a chance to see the magnificent views.“Meanwhile, the spotted gum solid timber floors through the home really do bring a lot of character and a sense of warmth.”The new owners can take in the expansive views from a viewing platform, which the current owners have termed The Terrace Bar.“Access to the treetop deck opens from the lounge room and also from the master bedroom on the other side,” Mark says.“The view places it right among the treetops.”At this property, the surroundings of the home are as beautiful as the inside.<img alt="156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-image-0-20240402233220273833-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640-imag.width-800_EwjIHYx.jpg" width="800">The approximately 7-acre block boasts trails right down to the Murrumbidgee River.“There’s a good portion where the river is quite accessible, and the owners and guests can cross a rock hop to a beautiful, sandy beach,” he says.“That part of the property has been the current owners’ favourite spot over the years – they relax with the family and do a spot of fishing there.”A separate three-level studio gives extra space for hobbies, relaxing while taking in the river views or for working-from-home. It includes a bathroom, kitchenette and stunning furnished sunroom with a combustion fireplace.“It’s quite rare to find a property of this smaller size. Compared to other surrounding properties in the Wallaroo area, this is an ideal lifestyle property,” Mark says.“This size is very easy and manageable for the person who doesn’t want to be a hobby farmer, but enjoys the native bushland and surrounds.”Mark says this is a home where a family could take some time away from the hustle and bustle without sacrificing easy access to the conveniences of Canberra they love.“The property has a feeling of being remote, but is only a short drive to Hall village and only about 35 minutes to Canberra’s CBD,” he says.156 McCarthy Road, Wallaroo goes to auction Thursday 2 May 5:00PM at the Ray White office, 14 Wales St, Belconnen.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/156-mccarthy-road-wallaroo-nsw-2618-98640/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/award-winning-wallaroo-riverfront-homestead-is-breathtaking-from-every-angle/759240" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

Crossing the threshold of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">34 Jacaranda Place</a>, through the custom-built door, is like entering another world. You’ll immediately notice the luxury, the space and the design touches which create a sense of separation from the stresses of modern life.“From the deck, you can hear the ocean waves and the coastal birds,” says <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/sails-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sails Real Estate Merimbula</a> Licensed Agent <a href="/agents/james-cravana/">James Cravana</a>.<img alt="34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-image-0-20240306063202518309-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-im.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It is extremely private, and you can’t see your neighbours from the back deck.”The property is located in the Mirador estate in Merimbula. It is set across a 1366 sqm block at the end of a cul-de-sac, which offers another layer of privacy and separation from the hustle and bustle.“It is a fair bit bigger than the standard block – these days, they tend to be 750 to 800 sqm,” he says.James says builder Shaun Cooper of Blue Tongue Building put that space to good use.“He’s a renowned builder in the area and known for his high-end work,” James said.“The quality of everything inside is a step up.”<img alt="34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-image-0-20240306063203605034-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-im.width-800_dttginS.jpg" width="800">The lower level hosts a workshop, while the main floor of the home has an open-plan design and houses four bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of which is an ensuite, and there’s also a powder room), a kitchen, a separate home office and a soundproof media room.As you can guess, every element of the home is a step or two above expectation.“High ceilings are a real feature throughout. All the rooms in the house are very generous spaces – there’s no pokey areas.”Throughout the home, expansive windows and skylights let the sunshine in – as well as views of the ocean and surrounding greenery.The kitchen boasts stone benches, soft-close cabinetry, quality Electrolux appliances, a mirrored splashback and a butler’s pantry.In the ensuite, pops of colour come from green tile features and black accents – such as the shower head, mirror frame and vanity taps – while the other walls are adorned with herringbone-pattern tiling.“The herringbone brings an upmarket, luxury look that you don’t see in many bathrooms.”<img alt="34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-image-0-20240306063207037578-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025-im.width-800_7yNJtUc.jpg" width="800">Overlooking the landscaped backyard on the covered deck made from spotted gum, you’ll find a hot tub – the perfect place to spend an afternoon.Retaining walls have been built into the level backyard, and the area is cleared, so it’s a very usable area with tiered grass and garden areas.“You can sit down on the built-in seating in a nice, cozy area to toast some marshmallows and have a beer or a glass of wine.”34 Jacaranda Place is an easy 20-minute walk to Short Point Beach. As James explains, you’ll understand why they call it the Sapphire Coast.“The colour of the water is a real sapphire blue and the whales can be seen during their migration.”While the Far South Coast lifestyle attractions are at your doorstep, you’re also within easy reach of the big cities.“Many people are looking to work from home and go into the office once a month or so. One of the big advantages of Merimbula is that we have an airport here.“You’ve got daily flights to Melbourne and Sydney – making it accessible to the two state capitals – and it’s about a three-hour drive to Canberra.”34 Jacaranda Place, Merimbula is for sale for $1,950,000 - $2,000,000<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/34-jacaranda-place-merimbula-nsw-2548-97025/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/step-back-from-everyday-stress-in-light-filled-home-with-ocean-views/752697" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

A move-in ready retreat on the Far South Coast countryside has hit the market, promising a tranquil living for everyone.Listing agent <a href="/agents/tara-stone/">Tara Stone</a> of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/sails-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sails Real Estate</a> says <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">17 Coral Park Road</a> in Wolumla has a warm and welcoming feel and is ready and waiting for a family to walk through the doors, put down their bags and call it home.<img alt="17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-image-0-20240221233244779508-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">Located just a few minutes from Wolumla town and local sporting grounds, this property has everything you could desire in a small lifestyle retreat.Set across a 1.5-acre allotment, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has a north-east facing aspect that captures the sunlight most of the day.Tara says the wide windows take in a green view from every window and a shimmering water view of a large dam on a neighbouring property.The home was fully renovated by a previous owner, while the current owners have added a generously sized salt-water pool surrounded by timber decking and expanded the existing gardens to enhance the element of seclusion from the neighbouring property and nearby road.<img alt="17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-image-0-20240221233250666359-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-imag.width-800_U91DiT2.jpg" width="800">An undercover outdoor kitchen area with a pizza oven provides a brilliant dining option and a perfect place to relax with family and friends.A two-car garage, carport and lots of outdoor space means you have ample room for cars, boats, trailers, caravans and more.A separate 6 x 9-metre shed on a concrete slab is the perfect spot for hobbies, garden equipment and more – not to mention the cute A-frame chook enclosure for a year-round supply of eggs.While there is more than enough room for a couple or family to unwind and enjoy their surroundings, Tara says the Far South Coast region has plenty to explore, with the Bega Valley no exception.“This property offers easy access to all the South Coast attractions as well as a doorway to wider regions, with the Merimbula Airport offering daily flights to Melbourne and Sydney, and Canberra only three hours by car,” she says.“There are endless beaches, bushwalking, bike-riding, golfing, motorbike-riding opportunities and well-established mountain bike trail rides, all renowned features for this area.<img alt="17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-image-0-20240221233245319364-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944-imag.width-800_O8PpzhZ.jpg" width="800">“Lifestyle properties continue to be in high demand, with many still looking to escape the city.“People are looking for a sea change or a tree change and Wolumla offers both – the pristine beaches of Merimbula are only 10 minutes by car, as is Bega, and the central business hub has major industry and government services.”17 Coral Park Road, Wolumla is for sale from $1,150,000 - $1,200,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-coral-park-road-wolumla-nsw-2550-95944/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/escape-the-city-in-this-gem-of-far-south-coast-living/747924" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

A move-in ready escape on the Far South Coast

This architect-designed home is an oasis in the heart of the Yass Valley.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/raine-horne-southern-highlands/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Raine and Horne Southern Highlands</a> principal <a href="/agents/matthew-anstee/">Matthew Anstee</a> says <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">752 Kaveneys Road</a>, also known as Bottega, is a 150-acre slice of tranquillity.<img alt="752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-20240213041749718632-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The owners worked with a local architect and tried to model the house around a resort-style oasis,” he says.“They have three children and grandchildren, so they wanted a home where they could come and be comfortable while still being in a rural property.”On arrival at Bottega, you’ll drive through the tree-lined driveway and arrive at the two-story glass entryway.“To have a home of this size that feels like a home is hard to achieve, but the owners have done this very well.”The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom includes an ensuite with a spa and walk-in wardrobe.A separate wing of the property houses the other three bedrooms, as well as a kitchenette, living area and bathroom.Inside the home, which was designed using Palm Springs as an inspiration, concrete walls and timber throughout give the home a modern feeling.“The design is totally different from anything else near it,” Matthew says.“You won’t find any other property like it in Jeir.”<img alt="752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-20240213041752294321-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-.width-800_FY1U88d.jpg" width="800">A butler’s pantry and 16-seat dining table with views overlooking the rolling hills of Yass Valley will make everyday meals feel like luxury (not to mention dinner parties or special events with friends and family).“It has a feeling of home and openness,” Matthew says.“Although there is a lot of concrete, it doesn’t feel cold or uninviting.”A home cinema will entertain you indoors, while an outdoor heated pool and covered entertaining area will be the place to be when entertaining.Bottega also boasts a self-contained one-bedroom apartment.While the home is already eye-catching, Matthew says the views are one of the property’s other wow factors.“The house sits on the middle of the block and is positioned to maximise the views,” he says.“There are those breathtaking views looking down over the Yass Valley and down to the Snowy Mountains.”<img alt="752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-20240213041751790767-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-.width-800_5J5yHKk.jpg" width="800">Matthew says Bottega would suit those looking for a family home and a community where they can put roots down.“It’s certainly going to be purchased by someone who’s looking to have that mix of a quality build and a rural lifestyle,” he says.“Most rural properties and farms are simply not like this – they don’t offer the features this property offers.”The 150 acres can run 40 breeders, and all paddocks have concrete aprons and water troughs.For comfort, the home is double-glazed and the suspended slab conserves heat. A backup generator and solar panels mean the home is off-grid.Bottega is about 30 minutes from Canberra, meaning it would suit someone who works in the city but wants to escape to the country and their slice of paradise.“It offers that rural lifestyle while being so close to Canberra,” Matthew says.<img alt="752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-20240213041753031069-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289-image-0-.width-800_2OJBadA.jpg" width="800">The property is taking expressions of interest.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/752-kaveneys-road-jeir-nsw-2582-95289/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/palm-springs-inspired-oasis-with-room-to-roam-in-the-yass-valley/744370" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
