In over a decade in real estate, Danielle Harris of Raine & Horne Shoalhaven Heads has never come across the likes of 38A Scott Street, Shoalhaven Heads.
A home of great architectural beauty, located on a rare slice of acreage in the heart of its covetable coastal locale, it affords a level of privacy and convenience that are almost always mutually exclusive.
“You are right in the hub, minutes from the golf course, primary school, shops, bowlo, Seven Mile Beach and Shoalhaven River, with Berry, Gerringong and Nowra all a short drive away. At the same time you’re in the middle of this acreage full of mature, established trees for ultimate privacy,” she says.
“It’s one of a kind – you won’t find anything like it again.”
The custom home by local master builder Daniel Corr, set on 7537 sqm of near-level land, could be a family haven, a holiday retreat, a retirement plan or a property with massive development potential.
The undisputed heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen and living area, which spotlights the jaw-dropping cathedral ceiling and abundant windows in dramatic fashion.
Featuring a gas fireplace and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a north-facing porch, it provides ample room for intimate gatherings or large celebrations year-round.
The country-style kitchen features timber counters, a large island bench, a butler’s ceramic sink and a spacious butler’s pantry.
“Pictures don’t do this home justice, you need to see it for yourself,” Danielle says.
The home has four bedrooms, including a private master retreat located in the west wing that features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
A theatre room (or second lounge) is situated with the other three bedrooms at the opposite end, offering space for everyone.
The home also features a jaw-dropping, fully enclosed sunroom. Surrounded by glass and bathing in light, this space is perfect for reading, relaxing or growing plants.
This space is adjacent to one of the home’s major drawcards found outside – a blissful covered entertainment area that includes an open fireplace and overlooks a peaceful natural setting. Adorned in festoon lights and complete with a dining area and a lounge zone, it’s an ideal spot to host long lunches or curl up with a cuppa and enjoy the birdsong and leafy surrounds.
A separate shipping-container style studio makes the perfect home office, gym or teenage retreat and a 36 sqm shed provides plenty of storage or potential for a workshop.
On almost two acres of expansive grounds, with a creek reserve forming the rear boundary, there’s room for kids to explore and avid gardeners to grow vegetables.
Subject to council approval, the abundant space could be subdivided, opening it up to major income potential.
“You could build a short-let space to rent out, well away from the primary residence, and in the popular holiday destination of Shoalhaven Heads it would do very well,” Danielle says.
“You’re right in the village, near the beach, there’s plenty of parking and your guests could make as much noise as they want.”
