What's around 723 Dees Road

Sleep Beneath the Stars, Wake Among the Clouds: CYCADIA

In the hushed folds of the Barrington Coast hinterland, where ancient forests meet stewardship-protected reserves, stands Cycadia 723 Dees Road, Belbora. Shortlisted for the 2020 Australian Institute of Architects Residential Award and realised by Suters Architects, this master-built residence, just six years young, exemplifies quiet Australian excellence: considered, resilient, and quietly luxurious. Step inside and the world falls away. Every principal room commands a sweeping 180-degree panorama across the Biodiversity Stewardship reserve, framed by double-glazed toughened glass. Light floods the generous, well-proportioned interiors. Three bedrooms offer thoughtful flexibility: a serene master with ensuite, a guest room with separate facilities, and a bunk room that comfortably sleeps eight. Hydronic heating warms the spaces where it matters most, while the gourmet kitchen centres on a Stanley wood stove complete with cook plate, oven and wet-back alongside induction for those who prefer it. This is off-grid living refined to an art. A fully independent solar system, 144,000 litres of rainwater storage, BAL 40 bushfire protection and premium BASIX thermal performance ensure comfort and self-sufficiency without compromise. Privacy is absolute; the property is wrapped on two sides by ancient forest. Silence, broken only by lyrebirds and the occasional koala, is the prevailing soundtrack. Beyond the house lies 70 hectares of private native forest, threaded with five kilometres of walking tracks leading to giant figs and cool rainforest gullies. Swimming dams glint in the clearings. At night, the skies put on their greatest show the Milky Way so vivid it feels close enough to touch, the Clouds of Magellan drifting overhead. Here, one truly sleeps beneath the stars. Practical details have been mastered: excellent 4G/5G reception, turn-key readiness, and a light-filled 160sqm artist's studio/shed with appliance bay and generous tool storage. Gloucester is 35 minutes away (with XPT trains to Sydney), the Barrington Coast beaches 50 minutes, and Newcastle Airport an easy 1 hour 45 minutes. Cycadia is not merely a house. It is a considered escape for those who value craft, nature and the long view both literal and figurative. All approvals secured, all challenges overcome. It awaits its next custodian. Inspections by private appointment only. Contact Carolyn Lowe or Rob Lowe at Crew Agency to arrange your visit. This is a property that must be experienced in person words, however carefully chosen, cannot fully convey its presence.
