A newly-listed Moruya property is just waiting for you to make your home among the (fruit) trees.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/clearwater-real-estate-narooma/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clearwater Real Estate</a> owner and principal <a href="/agents/sam-sheather/">Sam Sheather</a> says <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">179 Francis Street. Moruya</a>, would suit those looking for some seclusion.<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011634089762-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It’s the polar opposite of the single-level, brick home in the middle of town; and you’re far enough away from the hustle and bustle,” Sam says.The three-bedroom, three-bathroom property is set on 2.02 hectares and there’s not a neighbour in sight.Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the newly-renovated property was built in a colonial-Federation style with wide corridors, tall ceilings, a multi-purpose storage area upstairs and solar to keep energy costs down.<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011632134871-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800_guU2F4p.jpg" width="800">During the renovations, the current owners kept the original polished timber floors. The land boasts a dam, a secondary paddock, a shed for storage and a small vineyard.“Most of the fencing is horse-proof so there’d only be a couple of bits and bobs to do if you wanted to have a small acreage with some animals - it’s very much move-in ready,&quot; Sam says.And if you ever have a craving for fresh fruit, the orchard - with avocado, macadamia, lemon, olive, lime, grapefruit, orange and more - will fulfil it.<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011633059316-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800_Hob2Bjr.jpg" width="800">“It’s for those people who are looking for a property where they’ve got a bit of space to breathe,&quot; Sam says.You won’t want to leave this charming home, but if you venture to either the front verandah or the back deck, you can catch the sunsets and sunrises.“Actually, any time of day, you can capture the special features – you’re looking out over hills and mountains and not looking out at your neighbours.”<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011633750464-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800_SfFnKGd.jpg" width="800">The house is minutes from Moruya’s CBD and a short drive to the local airport.“We’ve got all the bush tracks and the beaches, so it’s perfect for anybody wanting to have a coastal lifestyle close to amenities,” Sam says.The size of the home means prospective owners can use the house and land as they wish.<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011637752729-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800_A4bJq9K.jpg" width="800">“You could run a business out of this property – subject to council approval – there’s certainly enough space to do that,&quot; Sam says.“There’s great parking capability if you need to have parking for trucks or business vehicles.”It’s the type of home you have to see up-close to get a real feel for, according to Sam.<img alt="179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-20230425011639306100-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914-image-0-2.width-800_F2FLF2V.jpg" width="800">“I think it’s a property that you need to inspect to appreciate,&quot; she says.“We have a motivated seller who just wants someone to love it as much as it has been loved in the past.”The property is for sale for $1.5 million.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/179-francis-st-moruya-nsw-2537-78914/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/not-a-neighbour-in-sight-in-this-moruya-property-with-beauty-space-and-quiet/657295" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>

The Moruya property with beauty, space and quiet (and not a neighbour in sight)

Designed with Californian vibes, this earthy beachside property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the home of a 1990s music icon.The stunning property at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">775 Congo Road, Congo</a>, is a location that has inspired the anthems of a generation: now, Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ guitarist Michael ‘Flea’ Balzary is selling his much-loved Australian beachside retreat on the NSW south coast.<img alt="775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20230103230132597031-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20.width-800.jpg" width="800">Located at the edge of the tiny beachside hamlet of Congo, just 15 minutes south of Moruya, the home is set on 2946sqm of land, bordered by Eurobodalla National Park on one side and the beach on the other.The Australian-born bassist and songwriter purchased the property in 1994 and designed the home at the peak of his fame, together with architect Malcolm Cheadle. Built by local builder Pip Smith, the unique five-bedroom, three-bathroom oceanfront residence features a bespoke spiral copper and steel staircase connecting two double-storey wings.<img alt="775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20230103230134846062-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20.width-800_iHfTuvj.jpg" width="800">Designed in the shape of a cuttlefish, with two private but connected wings off the central home, the Jarrah timber floors throughout the home were sourced from Old Parliament House.According to <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-moruya/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Moruya</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/james-hamilton/">James Hamilton</a>, the celebrity home has “a contemporary Californian design that sprawls out towards the ocean with amazing views.&quot;It&#x27;s a home that &quot;complements the natural environment,&quot; he says.“Flea has written a lot of music at the property, and band members have jammed downstairs in the original music room,&quot; James says.&quot;He&#x27;s reluctantly decided to put the home on the market as he&#x27;s unable to visit as much as he used to. It is wasted sitting here empty.“It has been a hard decision for him to let it go but he will still retain some interest in the local area.“The band surfed the local break when they were in town and became well known to the area’s residents.”<img alt="775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20230103230131509306-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20.width-800_5eHxbiV.jpg" width="800">Beautifully maintained, the property has recently undergone extensive updates.

Bi-fold doors open from the living area to an alfresco terrace with views across the property.A double garage, water views, a multi-purpose sports court and lots of room for guests make this home a must-inspect. James says interest in the home has been high.<img alt="775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20230103230131069601-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20.width-800_kMONPOR.jpg" width="800">“We&#x27;ve had a lot of enquiries, including overseas buyers. People who inspect the property walk in and their jaw drops,&quot; he says.“As soon as they see the copper staircase in the magnificent entry and then see how much space is here, they can see how truly unique this property is. And then, of course, there&#x27;s the musical heritage.”<img alt="775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20230103230135869641-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/775-congo-road-congo-nsw-2537-72907-image-0-20.width-800_IsV52Ip.jpg" width="800">Congo has become an exclusive destination renowned for its beautiful pristine coastline.

The affordable south coast beach bungalows giving us “good vibrations”

Once described as “ostentatious” by a local historian, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/55-campbell-street-moruya-nsw-2537-48586/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">55 Campbell Street</a> in Moruya is the pièce de résistance of the coastal town.The affectionately dubbed ‘Lynwood’ dates back to 1914. Leading timber merchant for the South Coast, George Henry James, was appointed to Moruya in 1910 and was adamant to only have the best of the best for himself.With the aid of a district architect and local tradesmen, he set about constructing the vast three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage on some prime real estate near the centre of town.Over a century later, Brian and his partner drove past in their car, noticing the ‘for sale’ sign out the front.<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-1.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-1.width-800.jpg" width="800">The couple lived in a Sydney apartment but regularly visited a family beach house in Broulee to break from the city and get some fresh sea breeze.“We used to drive past this place many times going to coffee and always loved the look of it and thought how great it would be to live there,” Brian says.On closer inspection of the property on that day in 2012, they took one look at the beautiful established gardens and the grand entrance hall with its pressed metal walls and were sold.“End of story. It’s probably crazy coming from an apartment to what was advertised as a five-bedroom house, but we’ve had such great times here.”<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-11.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-11.width-800.jpg" width="800">Inside the front gate is a garden filled with the beauty and scent of magnificent roses, a thick hedge providing absolute privacy and sound deadening all around.The ‘whiplash’ arch over the entrance is a strong art-nouveau feature and combined with other handmade features, make for a very charming and sophisticated first impression.The home also features ‘Wunderlich’ pressed metal on both the internal and external walls, which Brian describes as “a very unusual and lavish feature”.There are also two fireplaces, one with the original handmade hearth tiles and the original copper basin in the laundry.<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-7.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-7.width-800.jpg" width="800">Despite the age, Brian says the entire property has been superbly maintained. The only work they’ve done has been to the kitchen and laundry, so a lot of the original features are intact.The entrance hall is like stepping back in time, with those intricately detailed patterns on the walls and ceiling, all still softly lit with the original wall lights.Boasting a spacious formal living and dining room, the talking point will be the original open fireplace.“Coming from a small apartment in Sydney, the feeling of sheer space was the first that stood out to us, especially the high ceilings, big rooms,” Brian says. “It’s like living in another time – a lovely feeling.”<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-9.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-9.width-800.jpg" width="800">A small servery window looks into the dining room and will make entertaining a dream from the large equipped kitchen, complete with a Rayburn fuel stove. While historical, there is also the modern convenience of an electric free-standing cooker. An expansive walk-in pantry with a wall of shelving also has its own servery window.Lovingly known as the ‘Peacock Lounge’ for obvious reasons, the second living room at the back of the home has its own built-in storage that could easily double as an additional bedroom.The north-facing master bedroom includes an ensuite, dressing room and office, and all are naturally bright. A window seat with original stained glass overlooks the sports fields and is framed by beautiful mountain views.The second bedroom hosts its own fireplace and door to the western part of the verandah.<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-8.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-8.width-800.jpg" width="800">Tucked neatly away behind the laundry is the home office or art studio, with its own balcony for privacy or inspiration.Original renewed timber floors add rich character to the home throughout. And there is always more storage space in the original heritage shed, next to the old outhouse.Brian says it’s a very reluctant sale.“It’s something neither of us wants to do; we both love the house and have loved living in Moruya. But we’re relocating to Brisbane for family reasons.”<img alt="55-Campbell-St-Moruya-2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/55-Campbell-St-Moruya-2.width-800.jpg" width="800">This home will be auctioned on site at 11 am on Sunday, 28 November.To find out more about <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/55-campbell-street-moruya-nsw-2537-48586/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">55 Campbell Street</a> in Moruya, or to arrange an inspection, contact <a href="/agents/dawn-mason/">Dawn Mason</a> on 0424 847 522.*Zango is committed to continue connecting people with places safely.
