- Three-bedroom, two-bathroom home + separate self-contained studio
- 2.2 acres of peaceful coastal bush
- Five-minutes' drive to the beach
Tucked into the tranquil Sapphire Coast hinterland at Millingandi, this property is just five-minutes' drive from both Merimbula and Pambula. Yet with the sounds of native birdsong and the rustle of leaves in the breeze the only noises you can hear, it feels much further away.
The 11-year-old-home cleverly utilises some passive principles such as its north-east orientation and the thermal mass generated from the low winter sun warming the polished concrete floors in the main living space. A freestanding bluestone-tiled hob wall acts as a division between the lounge and kitchen/dining rooms in the central living space, and is not only aesthetically pleasing but also houses a Eureka wood heater. The large heater efficiently heats the entire home, however there's also a reverse-cycle unit for extra year-round convenience. The home is well-insulated internally and externally, with combination of brick and fire-rated cladding.
The kitchen is a combination of classic white cabinetry, green feature tiles and beautiful, durable Carrara marble benchtops and splashbacks. There's a generous island bench with breakfast bar seating, Bosch dishwasher, brand new 90cm electric oven with gas cooktop, brand new rangehood and a butler's pantry that neatly houses the fridge and conceals other bench-top appliances.
The main bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite with shower, and bedrooms two and three have double built-in wardrobes. The beautifully finished main bathroom has a luxurious free-standing bath and separate shower. There's also a practical study space and a laundry with lots of built-in storage.
The central kitchen/dining/living area makes the most of the north-east outlook towards the Merimbula headland. The beautiful polished concrete floors continue outside to the covered entertaining area which acts as a highly versatile second living space. The wood-fired pizza oven is a standout feature creating a focal point for entertaining and gathering year-round. Rustic recycled timber posts add extra character to this space which has lots of room for a barbecue, fire pit and sitting area, as well as a spot to hang the hammock to catch the nor'easter and watch the native wildlife cruise past.
There's a double garage with extra-high roof allowing for loft storage as well as a separate single roller-door workshop or garden/storage shed, perfect for bikes, surfboards or other bulky sporting equipment. Another stand-out feature of this property is the self-contained one-bedroom studio next to the shed which has its own well-appointed ensuite bathroom and is perfect for visitors, older children or multi-generational living. There's a very large fully-enclosed front yard off the entertaining area - perfect for dogs – with established fruit trees, including grape vines, olive and citrus trees. There's a 110,000L rainwater tank - with a new pump – and loads of space to park the trailer, caravan or boat. There's also plenty of scope to add a pool or a larger shed at the back of the house (STCA) should you wish.
Correa Close is a quiet and private cul-de-sac with only three other properties, and is accessed by a fully-sealed road. Ideal for families, the school bus also stops right at the bottom of the driveway. It's only five-minutes' drive to the larger coastal town of Merimbula with the regional airport, thriving hospitality scene and supermarkets, and five minutes' drive in the other direction to the vibrant village of Pambula. The National Parks and pristine beaches and waterways of the Sapphire Coast are all easily accessible from centrally-located Millingandi.
