40 Willinga Road, Bawley Point

This 10-acre property half cleared and half eucalyptus forest is the jewel in the crown of the South Coast. The most beautiful house on acreage, less than three minutes drive to the boat ramp at Bawley Point`s main beach, is now up for grabs. To live here is the stuff of dreams. The owners will tell you it is as much a playground for them as it is their home. Where else can you live within minutes from nine spectacular, untouched beaches? Nearby Pebbly and Pretty Beach, one of the rarest places in the world where kangaroos hang out literally on the beach. One visitor said it was surreal to do yoga here surrounded by kangaroos. It is also one of the only places in Australia where spotted gums grow right down to the beach. Forget whale-watching boats! Just three minutes from the property is Bawley Point. Stand on the headland during whale-watching season and you will see whales get up so close, you can ditch the binoculars. Not to mention “Bawley’s” world famous surf breaks. The four bedroom brick house has ample glass doors and windows that take in the magnificent greenery. Look out the bedroom window to the sun rising on kangaroos grazing in your front paddock, side by side with your own horses. Wake up to a choir of king parrots and the pinkest galahs you have ever seen. Their colours seem much more vibrant at Bawley. The 9-ft ceilings capture the space outside within the interior of the house. All four bedrooms and study look out into nature`s wonderland. The house has two bathrooms. Master bedroom comes with ensuite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, air-conditioning complete with a retreat that can be turned into cosy boudoir. There are three linked paddocks with tack shed and two horse stables. Three dams and 2 water tanks provide ample water. The owners believe rain water from the tanks are crucial for making the healthiest and tastiest sourdough bread using only wild yeast and organic grains which they grind afresh to turn into flour. Pump from the dam to water the vegetables and fruit trees which include tropical papayas, moringa and bitter melons, much sought after by health freaks. There are several raised and netted vegetable gardens and a chook pen. Garden shed and cubby/dog house sit side by side close to the house. There are many exits and entrances to give a family all the privacy they need. Want more space? simply take a walk in your own private forest and pause at a grove among a circle of turpentine trees with wild orchids that you can turn into a meditation retreat. For a little more exercise cycle along it’s meandering bike track. Willinga Lake is also just three minutes away. Take a swim in its tea tree oil seeped waters. When Tea Tree plants grow beside a lake their oil drips down into the water, creating something similar to a medical bath. Its works wonders on your skin. The property comes with a council approved, self- contained granny flat with two bedrooms and a bathroom. Adjoining it is a two car garage in front of a large tool shed. A large loft provides ample storage space. Willinga Park, an Olympic standard equestrian facility is just a five minute drive from this property. Open to the public in March 2017, this has greatly increased the interest among horse enthusiasts in this area, even sparking overseas interest among equestrians. Willinga Park also features beautiful botanic gardens that have become home to endangered plants and animals. If you want to venture out of seclusion, drive only 3 1/2 hours to Sydney or 2 1/2 hours to Canberra.
