"Cullenbullen" offers an elegantly executed and lovingly built 4-bedroom mud brick residence on 15 ha (37 acres) of spotted gums and open coastal forest, within 1 km proximity of the diverse and pristine coastal shoreline at Barragga Bay.
THE WAY IN: The driveway winds down through this classic Australian coastal setting, past a few well-placed statues opposite the "top dam" area, curated around its edges with shrubs and plantings, adding a spot of lushness on the way in, and a grass walkway to a protected vegetable garden nearby.
THE HOME: Established grounds surround the home, blending gradually into the simplicity of the open forest surroundings. The home has an elegant yet cozy feel and offers a total of 4 bedrooms (2 of the bedrooms are in their own wing accessed off the verandah). The kitchen has an adjoining family/meals area, and a servery opening through to a dining space on the other side. This adjoins a living room with an open fireplace and, in the corner, a stairway leads up to a cozy loft loungeroom. A large main bedroom offers an opulent retreat with warm character and its own ensuite bathroom.
THE GRAND PAVILION: A grand-sized pavilion extends at the rear of the house, with its soaring roof covering one section, and then treated as an open pergola-frame at the other end. The pavilion provides the ideal outdoor space for gatherings of family and friends, special occasions, or maybe just a wonderful space to enjoy some outdoor dining or quiet contemplation overlooking the balance of the forested acreage and the "forest dam" below.
THE DAMS: As well as the landscaped "top dam" on the way in, a significant feature of the property is the "forest dam." This large dam is nestled into the landscape some way down from the residence and provides wonderful scenery amidst the open forest setting, an excellent water supply, and an oasis for birds and wildlife.
THE GARAGE & WORKSHED: Ideal for all sorts of purposes, this attractive timber building has power connected and great high-roof clearance to the open double garage and its adjoining workshop/studio. A large-sized holding for this area at 37 acres, "Cullenbullen" offers a wonderfully established coastal retreat with seclusion and privacy, and sensitively developed over time to earn its place in this special setting. Very close to a variety of wonderful beaches, as well as Cuttagee Beach, the Four Winds "music-in-nature" amphitheatre, and only a 10-minute drive from Bermagui.
