Perched on an elevated 3148-sqm block, a home of grandiose proportions awaits at 5 Bele Place, Kiama, just 1.5 km from the beaches, cafes, shops, green rolling hills and wonderful seaside village vibes.

Offering eight bedrooms and four bathrooms across a massive main residence and a self-contained guest “villa”, this country homestead-style property offers the ideal setup for multigenerational families or an opportunity to operate short-stay accommodation separate from the primary home.

Selling agent Greg Crumpton of Stone Real Estate says properties with this combination of size and coveted location are increasingly rare in the prized seaside town.

“People are impressed by the terrific proportions of it – every room is generous,” he says.

From the moment you step foot into the impressive formal entryway, showcasing soaring ceilings and abundant light, you know you’re in for a treat.

With a long frontage, this home reaches wide to capture delicious northerly sunshine throughout most rooms, with views of the lovely gardens and ocean beyond.

On the ground floor you’ll find the heart of the home – a delightful modern kitchen adjacent to a billiards room and wet bar with soaring raked ceilings, and a large family room. This all spills out to the massive covered al fresco entertainment space that extends across the front of the home.

“Between this, and the delightful sun-soaked courtyard out back, this is a real entertainer’s home,” Greg says.

“Because of the elevated position you get those lovely views to the ocean beyond and sea breezes, but are surrounded by lush, landscaped gardens and abundant bird life.”

Also on this floor is a formal lounge opposite a formal dining room, renovated in chic, dark, moody tones to showcase what a bit of vision can do to transform the versatile spaces. There is also a large laundry room, one bedroom, a mud room and a double executive office.

A further five bedrooms can be found on the first floor of the main residence, all generous in size and each boasting its own lovely vista. This includes the glittering ocean views from the huge main bedroom, which comes complete with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and a separate yoga room.

The separate two-bedroom ground-floor apartment has its own entry, access to outdoor entertaining, gorgeous light-filled lounge, kitchen, dining, bathroom and laundry.

The home offers plenty of storage, a separate shed outside with its own mower port, a separate carport to the guesthouse and a huge triple garage with workshop space, making it ideal for a tradie or a home business.

Located in an exclusive cul-de-sac mere footsteps from a kids’ park and walking tracks, and a few minutes’ drive to Kendalls and Surf beaches, cafes, shops, schools and Kiama train station and harbour, this property offers an exceptional lifestyle.

“It’s a beautiful family home that will capture your heart and be the perfect setting for making so many lifelong memories,” Greg says.

The price guide for this home is $3,000,000 to $3,300,000.
