A delightful contradiction awaits at 152 Green Valley Road, Beaumont: the absolute privacy of a sprawling 200-acre estate with the manageable footprint of a boutique four-acre retreat.
The configuration of the gently-sloping, mostly cleared, manicured, golf course-like pastures and the surrounding land is not something Sosa Lifestyle Property’s Janine Sosa has seen often in her two-decade career.
“It’s not common to find a smaller lot among larger rural blocks,” she says. “The benefit is complete privacy and the feeling of living on hundreds of acres, without having to pay for it.”
The property hosts an original 1996 two-bedroom cottage, tastefully renovated to blend country charm with contemporary style.
While an ideal weekender or investment property, the property also leaves itself wide open to an “old meets new” extension, subject to approvals.
“I could see a breezeway connecting a new wing to the charming cottage,” Janine says.
Characterised by its pitched roof, exposed beams, stylish pendant lighting and warm timber floors, this north-facing home is bathed in year-round sunlight and framed by stunning views of rolling hills and lush valley rainforest.
Inside, a slow combustion wood fireplace sets a scene where all that’s missing is you, a good book, and your beverage of choice.
Retreat to the sun-drenched loft upstairs, where vaulted ceilings and oversized timber windows frame a panoramic gallery of the valley below. This expansive second bedroom doubles as a private sanctuary, complete with a dedicated lounge for quiet reflection.
A new Fujitsu split system offers year-round comfort, while a well-appointed kitchen, cleverly combined bathroom and laundry with a separate toilet and additional linen storage complete the picture.
Beaumont is an area where the firepit can quickly become a favourite feature.
Outside, Merbau timber decking on the front verandah and covered rear entertainment deck (complete with electric outdoor heating), beckon you to sit and take in the lower line escarpment views and verdant surrounds.
“Beaumont is mostly categorised under rainforest biodiversity, and while the land is beautifully manicured, the surrounding growth makes this property very much like a rainforest retreat,” Janine says.
“This area is known for its night skies. Thanks to low light pollution you get blankets of stars and can see the Milky Way. That’s why the firepit is such an important feature at this property — sitting outside around a campfire at night is magical.”
Other useful features include a double lock-up shed with new roofing, insulation, shelving and leaf guard, an established, fully enclosed vegetable and herb garden with raised beds, a Puretec UV water filtration system, gas bottles for a hot water heating system, 44,500-litre underground concrete rainwater tank with a bore for irrigation, a Bosch home alarm system and an on-grid electricity and septic system.
This property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, within a quiet enclave on a peaceful dead-end road.
“On a map, Beaumont might look isolated, but in reality, it’s only eight minutes to Kangaroo Valley and 25 minutes to Berry or Bomaderry,” Janine says. “So you have all the serenity of a country rainforest retreat, but not too far away are all the cafes, restaurants and boutiques of bigger country towns.
