A rare opportunity awaits! The historic homestead Bryn-y-mor, built in 1918, is offered to market for only the second time in over 100 years. The 'Grand Old Lady on the Hill' has been lovingly maintained and expanded upon with an uncompromising devotion to preserving its original charm and historic features.
The level one-acre allotment rests on the crest of a gently rising hill, providing elevated views over the undulating pastures of Toolijooa and the hinterlands beyond with a scattering of cattle as neighbours. The stunning 360-degree vista stretches south to Coolangatta Mountain, east to the Pacific Ocean and west to the escarpment, with spectacular sunrises and sunsets served up daily.
The homestead's original features have been lovingly preserved including beautiful stained glass bay windows, timber floors, 13-foot ceilings and a cosy wood-fire hearth. A tasteful expansion to the rear has been thoughtfully designed to complement the existing home, completed to the highest quality with Victorian Ash timber floors, vaulted ceilings, and stylish modern kitchen and bathrooms.
The house is enclosed by a wrap-around balcony featuring gorgeous timber fretwork and Blackbutt decking, and is comprised of three large bedrooms (with the main featuring a dressing/powder room), two modern bathrooms overlooking the garden, generous chef's kitchen (with butler's pantry, dual ovens and stone benches) and two separate living areas.
The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is bathed in natural sunlight and opens onto a private covered entertaining area with stunning views of the surrounds. The expansive grounds feature lovely gardens with flower beds, fruit trees and a vegetable patch, as well as a double garage, storage shed and a separate studio all surrounded by lush grazing land.
The home has been completely renovated with new wiring, plumbing, roof and insulation. Additional features include hydronic heating, 90kL tank water, and a 15kW solar system providing near-zero electricity costs. With easy access to the highway in both directions, it's only a few minutes' drive to the shops, cafes, beaches and wineries in nearby Gerringong, Gerroa and Berry.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable property in a highly sought-after position. Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, it's ideal for those seeking seclusion and a touch of country life with the convenience of being near the coast.
