Perched proudly on the sun-drenched, north-eastern ridge of Short Point, this beautifully warm and inviting single-level home captures the essence of coastal living-where light, views and comfort come together in effortless harmony.
From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of ease. Designed across one flowing level, the home offers rare accessibility without compromising on space or outlook. To the south, sweeping vistas stretching from the beach, across Merimbula Lake, to the mountains beyond. In the evening, the twinkling lights of Merimbula create a captivating backdrop. Turn to the north, and you're greeted with ocean views from the kitchen and rear entertaining deck-ensuring every time of day brings something special.
Inside, the home radiates warmth and character. Cypress pine floorboards underfoot and rich cedar doors and windows create a welcoming, almost nostalgic feel, while the layout has been thoughtfully designed for modern living. At its heart, a generous kitchen with ample bench space connects seamlessly to the dining and living zones, all anchored by a central wood fire. It's easy to imagine winter evenings spent here-fire crackling, views stretching out before you, and a sense of complete comfort.
Accommodation is both flexible and generous. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by an additional multi-purpose room-ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or second living space depending on your needs. The main suite is a true retreat, offering elevated views from both the bedroom and its ensuite, making it a space you'll never want to leave.
Outdoors, the lifestyle offering continues. Landscaped gardens are as practical as they are charming, featuring established mandarin, orange and lime trees, a veggie patch and two tranquil fountains. Whether you're pottering in the garden or simply enjoying the surroundings, it's a space that invites you to slow down.
For those who love to entertain, the home offers two distinct alfresco zones. The front and rear decks are cleverly positioned to follow the sun and capture the best of the views, while the rear deck has been enhanced with sliding glass windows and a strip heater-making it a true year-round entertaining space. And to top it all off, a Canadian therapeutic outdoor spa provides the perfect place to unwind after a day spent exploring the coast.
Practicality hasn't been overlooked. There's a single garage, carport, and ample space for a boat or caravan, along with thoughtful extras including 1.5kW solar panels, a 2000L water tank with electric pump, a wired Bosch security system, underfloor insulation, two gas outlet points and a wood firebox.
This is a home that offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to savour-effortless, flexible, and rich in character, all set in one of the area's most tightly held and picturesque pockets.
