From the moment you turn onto this quiet, picture-perfect country lane in Broughton Village (population 86), the troubles of the world are left far behind.
Driving past alpaca, goat, sheep, horse and cattle farms, you come to 190 Tindalls Lane Broughton.
Turning onto the crushed granite drive and meandering through the avenue of trees, you feel as though you've driven into a private paradise and yet you're only a 3-minute drive to the charming township of Berry and only 20 minutes to Kiama or Nowra.
This almost 5-acre property has established gardens with a wealth of mature, beautiful trees. This botanical wonderland protects and nestles the house and those who live in it.
The diversity of plant-life also offers a retreat for the native bird and wildlife. Small birds come to drink nectar from the abundant flowering plants, the gurgling creek offers refuge to native ducks and waterfowl and black cockatoos love to forage in the taller trees which include chestnut, walnut, and guava.
Between these pockets of vertical, verdant green, various open, level lawn areas provide grazing areas for echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, possums, and wombats, not to mention perfect places for some cricket, a game of football or children's games full of imagination and wonder.
These cleared areas also provide spaces for an army of tents when family and friends come to stay in this secluded, tranquil place. This home has played host to gatherings of well over 100 people.
A suspension bridge over the always-running creek (with pockets for swimming in summer), a wishing well, small timber bridge, cubby house, and pockets of privacy surrounded by the sounds of nature all add to the magical atmosphere of 190 Tindalls Lane.
Within the 3 bed, 2 bath house, 9ft ceilings and almost wall to wall windows and doors maximise the views and allow natural light to flood the home. And when nature beckons, there are spacious decks both front and back.
The home has plenty of space with two living areas and generous bedrooms. Storage is amply catered for with built-in-robes in all bedrooms, a double lock-up garage, carport, and garden shed.
Downstairs has a second, small bathroom with shower and toilet – perfect for cleaning up after a swim in the creek or at the beach. There are dozens of pristine south coast beaches within a 20-minute drive.
The property is self-sufficient when it comes to water with an approx. 60,000-litre below-ground tank, an additional water tank, and the creek.
