What if your nearest neighbour was nature itself?
Tucked away amongst 103 acres of predominantly native Australian bushland and remnant rainforest, more than a home, it is an invitation to slow down, reconnect and live in harmony with the landscape.
An off-grid sanctuary of extraordinary natural beauty, this rare property offers scenic trails, protected flora and fauna, three creeks flowing towards Nerringillah Lagoon and a profound sense of privacy and tranquillity. Approximately 89% of the land is protected by a Conservation or biodiversity agreement, preserving its natural character for generations to come.
And yet, for all its seclusion, the coastal pleasures of Bendalong and Manyana are remarkably close. Spend the morning barefoot on the sand, return home through the bush and feel as though you have travelled a million miles from the outside world.
The home itself has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings. Expansive windows and broad glass sliding doors draw the bushland deep into the living spaces, while scenic outlooks unfold from almost every room. Warm Blackbutt hardwood flooring, a slow-combustion fireplace and an inviting open-plan design create an atmosphere that is both grounded and effortlessly comfortable.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen combines functionality with natural warmth, featuring a substantial Tasmanian Oak timber benchtop and 900mm stove. Beyond, the large entertaining deck becomes a natural extension of the living space, overlooking the valley and providing a beautiful setting for long lunches, sunset drinks and nights beneath a canopy of stars.
The master suite is a private retreat, complete with ensuite and freestanding soaking tub, an ideal place to unwind after a day spent exploring the property's well maintained trails.
A detached double garage and workshop provide abundant space for vehicles, projects and equipment, with the added convenience of a second toilet.
Sustainability is woven into the way of life here. Approximately 68,000 litres of rainwater storage, a 3.5kW solar power system with 12 batteries, solar hot water with gas booster, fully insulated walls and ceilings, and a Biolytix worm-based wastewater treatment system all contribute to a home designed for self-sufficient living.
Veggie gardens encourage a more sustainable rhythm, while a dam feeds the header tank, with gravity-fed sprinklers helping maintain the gardens and grounds.
There are tracks to wander, creeks to discover, wildlife to observe and countless quiet places simply to sit and listen.
This is a property for those seeking something increasingly rare: space without isolation, nature without compromise and a home that allows you to live more simply, more sustainably and more completely.
Just moments from the beaches and laid-back coastal lifestyle of Bendalong and Manyana, yet immersed in a private wilderness of your own.
Come home to where nature is your nearest neighbour.
