113 Wallagoot Lake Rd, Wallagoot NSW 2550

Tucked into a peaceful pocket of Bournda National Park, this special property is about so much more than just a place to live. Its pristine location and natural surrounds offer a unique and immersive lifestyle.

Just a short distance off Sapphire Coast Drive, the towering gum trees and leafy native canopy lining Wallagoot Lake Road are a fitting welcome for this nature lover's paradise. Located mere metres from the foreshore of Wallagoot Lake, you can have the kayak or SUP in the water in less time than it takes to strap it to the roof racks. Go for a paddle - with or without your fishing rod! – before or after work, or anytime of the day really.

This home could easily cater to a family - and would make an idyllic setting for special childhood memories - but would also suit anyone looking for a low maintenance home in a peaceful and truly special Sapphire Coast location. The single-level, early 1990s build has a brick and timber board exterior with glass brick features, raked ceilings and skyline windows all allowing extra natural light into the home without compromising on privacy.

The stunning outlook onto the lake is visible from the home's open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, as well as the main bedroom. There's a reverse-cycle air-conditioner and a wood heater in the main living space, however during summer the property exists in its own little micro climate, where with the bi-fold windows and doors open along the front of the house, the breeze off the lake cools the whole house.

The main bedroom has a very spacious walk-through-wardrobe, ensuite bathroom and glass sliding doors out into the sunny front yard with its magnificent outlook over the lake. Also in the main house is bedroom two, the main bathroom with separate toilet and the laundry which has external access to the backyard.

Although there's only two bedrooms in the main house, there is a well-appointed, one-bedroom granny flat in the backyard. The flat has a large bedroom, modern ensuite bathroom, kitchenette and spacious living space. Completely separate from the house, it offers the flexibility to use the space yourself as guest or multi-generational family accommodation, or generate additional income via short-term holiday rental.

Another notable feature is a second multi-functional building in the backyard. Currently used as an artist's studio, this fully-lined space could also be a fourth bedroom for older children, a guest bedroom, a teenager's games room/rumpus retreat, a home gym or a yoga studio – the possibilities are endless.

Set on a very large, level 2600m2 block there's ample space in the backyard – there's even a unique Colourbond plunge pool! - to add in a larger shed or garage should you wish. There's also established citrus and stone fruit trees, a chook pen, vegetable garden and a small garden shed. There are two large underground water tanks, as well as a smaller tank off the studio for peace of mind about house and garden water use.

Make the most of the unspoilt estuary paradise literally on your doorstep by walking or e-biking to popular Wallagoot Gap and Turingal Head picnic area, set off on a longer walk to Hobart Beach or do a section of the Wharf-to-Wharf walk and head south to Bournda Lagoon. Let the rhythms of this slice of Sapphire Coast wilderness dictate your days as you throw a line in the lake to catch flathead for dinner, put some crab pots out, or get the net ready when the prawns are running.

Opportunities to buy into this peaceful and tightly-held enclave of mostly owner-occupier homes don't come up often. The community of less than 20 houses is centrally located just off Sapphire Coast drive 10 minutes' drive to Tathra, around 20 minutes' drive north to regional centre Bega and 15 minutes' south to spectacular Merimbula.

Embrace a truly Sapphire Coast lifestyle from this home with flexible living options, on the foreshore of Wallagoot Lake.
