It definitely feels more like you’re on holiday.”There is plenty of room inside the home, including a separate loft space that could be converted into a home office or new bedroom (or another place to relax) and a large gourmet kitchen that boasts a walk-in pantry.The property also features a self-contained studio apartment, offering even more space for family, friends or guests.“This is the property’s most unique factor,” Megan says.“We do get other nice properties in Long Beach, but this sets it apart.”<img alt="17-barrakee-drive-long-beach-nsw-2536-95423-image-0-20240213224657982241-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-barrakee-drive-long-beach-nsw-2536-95423-im.width-800_8ZvsLTJ.jpg" width="800">A 15-metre in-ground saltwater pool will be the envy of friends and family wanting to cool off in the summer heat.Steps near the back of the house lead you to the rest of the property, which features an established fruit orchard with mature trees, a fire pit, a double carport, a greenhouse and a vegetable garden with nine garden beds and a sophisticated watering system, and a chook shed on the property.“The home is set among the trees across 2.5 acres,” Megan says.“It’s not a whole heap of land to maintain, but there is space to enjoy.”Both local beaches and Cullendulla Creek are near, Megan said, meaning the sun and sand the NSW South Coast is famous for are just short drives away.<img alt="17-barrakee-drive-long-beach-nsw-2536-95423-image-0-20240213230306070926-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="549" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-barrakee-drive-long-beach-nsw-2536-95423-im.width-800_PnCb3ZW.jpg" width="800">“Long Beach is a favourite of many, particularly those from Canberra,” she said.“It’s conveniently located – just a few minutes drive over the bridge into town – and the area is nice and quiet.”Megan says this property would suit a family looking to move away from the tightly packed city.“The detached studio is perfect for either a growing family with older children or elderly parents,” she says.17 Barrakee Drive, Long Beach is for sale from $1,500,000 - $1,600,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-barrakee-drive-long-beach-nsw-2536-95423/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/hamptons-style-retreat-is-the-ultimate-beashside-lifestyle-property/746540" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
