Coffee, surf, dinner with a view, rinse and repeat — 8a Riverleigh Avenue, Gerroa delivers the ultimate coastal lifestyle, with a rare blend of privacy and everything reachable on foot.
Set on 952 sqm in one of the sought-after locations on the South Coast, a short stroll from the water in beautiful Gerroa, this new, custom-designed four-bedroom home paves the way for idyllic weekends, holidays and everyday living.
“The day can start with a wander down to the nearby Blue Swimmer cafe for a coffee or breakfast, then head into nearby Gerringong or Berry to browse the local markets and boutique shops,” Ryan Stalgis of First National Coast & Country Gerringong says.
“A short walk away, Crooked River is a beautiful, gentle spot for paddleboarding and water play with kids. Just on the other side of the estuary is Seven Mile Beach — one of the nicest beaches in Australia.
“After, head home for a rinse in the outdoor shower, and relaxation and lunch on the deck, with views to the water and national park.
“The Fisherman’s Club at the top of the hill is licensed, and a lovely place to go for dinner with stunning panoramic views of the coastline from Seven Mile Beach to Beecroft Peninsula.
“You can also explore the wineries in the area or take the popular coastal headland walk from Minnamurra to Gerringong.”
Ripper location aside, the home itself is a showcase of seamless indoor-outdoor flow and impeccable finishes, including an attractive cobblestone driveway, plantation and louvre shutters, timber decking and high ceilings.
“The custom design build takes full advantage of the aspect and lets in plenty of light,” Ryan says.
The heart of the home is the first floor, occupied entirely by an open plan island kitchen, featuring a waterfall-edge stone benchtop and large walk-in pantry, dining and living area.
This flows out onto a covered al fresco space. Eye-level with treetops, it captures water views and stunning sunsets through the leaves.
Downstairs are three spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and an expansive master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite bathroom and a private deck.
The stylish main bathroom has a luxurious free-standing bath that beckons you in for a soak, and a frameless shower.
A second, large living space with a built-in bar opens out to another deck.
Other useful features include a 13.3 kW solar set-up with 30 panels for energy efficiency and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Located just 90 minutes from Sydney, Gerroa has become one of the most desirable locations along the east coast of Australia — and with good reason.
“Because of its position on the headland, there’s no real room for further expansion of Gerroa — what you see is what you get, and future development is very limited,” Ryan says.
“You’re surrounded on all sides by the ocean, national park and rolling pastures of the coastal headland.”
Ryan says the property could suit a range of potential buyers.
“It offers plenty of space to accommodate a growing family; it would be a wonderful weekender or holiday home, or great for retirees looking for some place quiet, with room for family to visit.”
