Down a quiet rural lane surrounded by native gums and peaceful bushland, Correa Close feels far removed from the bustle of Merimbula and Pambula, yet both are just a ten-minute drive (within 8km).
At the very end of the cul-de-sac, shared by just four neighbours, a dirt road winds upward to a striking two-storey home that appears to float above the canopy, overlooking its own 2.5-acre patch of native forest. Surrounding the home, the land opens to a gently sloping clearing with a lower-level area, perfect for a large shed or a future second dwelling (STCA). Further down the property, another cleared area transforms into a seasonal wetland after heavy rain, while a shallow creek meanders along the boundary.
Clad in recycled timbers from neighbouring Millingandi properties, the home has been gradually crafted over the past seven years with an eco-conscious approach, using reclaimed materials sourced primarily from across the Far South Coast.
Inside, high ply-lined ceilings and raw timber floorboards set a natural, rustic tone. The entry level features two spacious bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, and two bathrooms - one an ensuite, the other unfinished, fully tiled and plumbed, ready for finishing touches. There's also scope to add a third bedroom on this level.
A timber staircase leads to the upper level, opening onto a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, with a wood fire heater and framed by north-facing windows, The kitchen is fitted with a gas stove, rustic cabinetry, and a distinctive curved island bench. Beyond the living space, large doors open onto an expansive undercover deck - an outdoor room of its own, suspended above the treetops.
The property runs completely off-grid, powered by a 2.5kW solar system with battery storage and a Genelite 7.6kVA diesel generator backup. A 110,000L water tank ensures plenty of supply, and an AA Worm Farm Septic system keeps maintenance minimal. Neighbours nearby are connected to mains power, offering the option to link in if desired, though the real beauty lies in the home's independence. Few properties on small acreage so close to Merimbula offer this level of self-sufficiency.
Beyond its charm and sustainability, the location is a true highlight. Merimbula, just 8km away, offers an airport with flights to Sydney and Melbourne, while Canberra and the snowfields of Thredbo and Perisher are less than a three-hour drive. Bega, approximately 30km away, is home to the new South East Regional Hospital, and Pambula, only 6km away, offers a charming village atmosphere with popular cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and the picturesque Pambula River mouth.
Just needing a few finishing touches, 10 Correa Close presents a rare opportunity to step into the rural market so close to the coast - a place to live simply or continue building your dream lifestyle property on a home with solid, established bones.
