Peaceful and self-sufficient, 209 Wapengo Lake Road is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom property on 41 forested acres between Bermagui and Tathra.
Fulfilling the dream of clean, coastal living, this secluded property comprises two dwellings. The main one is a north-facing, two-storey residence with an open-plan living/kitchen area, two bedrooms, a laundry and a bathroom, while the second dwelling is a self-contained studio with a living space, kitchen, bathroom and a loft bedroom.
“The main residence has a wonderfully relaxed, welcoming feel. Large windows frame the surrounding bushland, spotted gum flooring adds warmth throughout the living areas, and the combustion fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months,” Forbe Stynes Property Group agent Sandra Benny says.
The studio adds versatility and even the possibility of a second income stream to the property’s attractions.
“It has successfully operated as Airbnb accommodation for several years. It would equally suit visiting family and friends, creative pursuits, or someone looking for a peaceful work-from-home environment,” Sandra says.
Flexibility and the possibility of a second income source are part of a running theme of self-sufficiency.
A stand-alone solar power system with 12 panels, a Selectronic inverter and a battery; a 30,000-litre tank; a composting toilet system; a gas hot water system; and a nearby water hole make this property ideal for someone looking to live off-grid.
“The quality stand-alone solar system, rainwater storage and low-maintenance construction mean owners can enjoy complete independence without sacrificing modern comforts,” Sandra says.
Beyond its features, the home has been designed not just to work in harmony with the land, but to suit it aesthetically as well.
“Rather than trying to dominate the landscape, the two dwellings sit comfortably within it. They feel connected to the environment rather than separate from it,” Sandra says.
This design is all in service of enjoying the beautiful surrounding bushland.
“The land is incredibly diverse, incorporating beautiful rainforest, including a magnificent cabbage palm grove, coastal gully vegetation and native shrub forest. It provides habitat for an abundance of birdlife and native wildlife,” Sandra says.
“For buyers who appreciate conservation and biodiversity, this property offers far more than 41 acres of bushland. It provides an opportunity to become a caretaker of an exceptional piece of coastal bushland.”
A green location combines the best of the coast and the bush, with great access to forest walks and some of the Sapphire Coast’s most beautiful beaches.
Coastal reserves and beaches like Aragunnu, Bengunnu Point, Picnic Point, Bithry Inlet and Wapengo Lake are just minutes away.
“What makes this location particularly unique is that you’re immersed in native bushland, yet you’re never far from excellent fishing, boating, surfing, walking tracks and national parks,” Sandra says.
“It’s a lifestyle that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find on the East Coast.”
And even though this home offers a dream in seclusion and peace, it’s not far from local centres.
“Owners have access to two vibrant coastal communities known for their cafés, restaurants, galleries, boat ramps and relaxed village atmosphere,” Sandra says.
For someone who’s been chasing the dream of independence, seclusion and peace, this property meets all criteria, with a location that provides access to some of the most beautiful scenery on the coast.
