This cedar property offers more than just an eye-catching place to live. The lifestyle 3 Hawdons Cove at Tuross Head embodies is one of laid-back entertainment, tranquillity and relaxation among nature.

Built in the late 1980s on a quiet block bordering Tuross Lake, this home is brought to life by loads of delightfully quirky features, such as bespoke windows, an elevated breezeway and a bell tower that looks like something out of a fantasy novel.

Sales agent Lyne Gatty says the property brings instant joy to visitors from all walks of life.

“You just can’t help but smile when you see this home – unique doesn’t even begin to cut it,” she says.

“It’s like a time capsule for ultra-individual styles of the past. Every piece of craftsmanship shows a quality and aesthetic you just don’t get anymore.

“Feedback from potential buyers so far has been overwhelmingly positive, full of love and a healthy amount of surprise for the home’s sprawling nature. The property was also featured in Vogue Australia in 1989 for its individual approach to architecture.”

The property’s first residence is set up as a one-bedroom private getaway. Stepping through the breezeway into the entry foyer, visitors are greeted by an open-plan kitchen, dining room and lounge room surrounded by warm teal walls.

Vaulted ceilings, large windows and timber accents bring the surprisingly large space together, and the original fireplace keeps everything cosy during chilly weather. Soft downlights brighten each room, accentuating the natural sunbeams filtering through.

A floating staircase leads to the loft bedroom and modern ensuite. Gentle pink and ochre hues are found here, framing views of Tuross Lake, nearby mountains and the ocean beyond.

Charming masonry steps lead from the first residence to the second. This home spans three levels, with two bedrooms and a bathroom found below, a recently renovated kitchen/dining above, and loft lounge space on top.

Vaulted ceilings dominate once again, dotted with small skylights and surrounded by windows of all shapes and sizes. Coloured glass pendant lights resemble floating flowers overhead, and reverse-cycle air conditioning offers year-round climate control, supported by a combustion fireplace that brings its own intimate atmosphere.

Number three also features two garages with hoists to suit the avid DIY enthusiast, workshopper or car lover. Plenty of storage can be found in the second garage, which also features a loft.

Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped with a trickling stream and low-maintenance plants, including native ferns and eucalyptus. There are multiple sunny decks and private sitting spaces for the outdoor entertainer to choose from.

“Tuross Lake is just a few steps away and the new owner will also have access to a communal jetty,” Lyne says.

“This property is really special. Whoever takes it on will appreciate the many little touches that make it unique, whether they be a growing family, retiree couple or investor looking to turn it into a standout holiday home.”

Tuross Head is a small, laid-back community with a peaceful outlook over the Pacific Ocean. Nestled between Moruya and Narooma, it’s surrounded by water on three sides and offers a wealth of opportunity for fishing, boating, swimming, hiking and wildlife watching.
