Offered for the first time in over 30 years, this enchanting century-old residence feels as though it's been lifted straight from the pages of a country lifestyle magazine. Nestled in the heart of Millingandi, within the tightly held and beautifully presented Stringybark Place, this is a home where character, warmth, and a slower pace of life come together in perfect harmony.
As you arrive, you are greeted by classic white post and rail fencing, setting the tone for the charm and character that unfolds beyond. Wrapped in mint green weatherboards with crisp white trims and crowned by an upgraded Colorbond roof, the home radiates a timeless country aesthetic that's becoming increasingly rare to find. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you're surrounded by immaculate cottage gardens, lush lawns, and a sense of calm that only a property like this can offer. Importantly, the home is also serviced by town water-adding valuable ease and practicality to this idyllic rural lifestyle.
Set across approximately 5 acres over two sections, the land invites a lifestyle many dream of. A gently rolling paddock is ideal for a pony, alpacas, or a handful of sheep, while a picturesque dam attracts ducks and an array of native birdlife, adding to the property's peaceful, storybook charm. There's also a thoughtfully designed chicken run for fresh eggs each morning, along with a large Australiana-style workshop and tool barn.
The home itself is equally captivating. Enter through a charming courtyard-perfect for entertaining and family gatherings-and step inside to a warm and inviting interior where French doors frame garden views and natural light pours throughout. Offering the flexibility of two separate living and dining areas, the home caters beautifully to both relaxed family living and entertaining. Character details shine throughout, from decorative cornices to original timber flooring in the main dining space, where a wood heater (ducted throughout the home) creates a cosy atmosphere and even captures glimpses of Merimbula Lake. In both living zones, French doors open out onto the wraparound verandahs, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the surrounding gardens.
The kitchen is privately set and perfectly suited for those who love to cook, combining country warmth with modern convenience. Featuring timber cabinetry, updated appliances, and generous storage, it's a functional and inviting space, complemented by a practical adjoining laundry. With easy access to the outdoor areas and verandahs, it enhances the home's effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle while maintaining its own sense of space and charm.
Accommodation includes three generously sized bedrooms, with a fourth room ideal as a home office or additional bedroom. Two country-style bathrooms service the home, one featuring timber-lined walls that add to the home's warmth and charm.
Perfectly positioned, you're just a 3-minute drive to Pambula Village, rich in character with its boutique shops, cafes, grocers, post office, and fuel. Within 7 minutes, you can have your toes in the sand at Pambula Beach or enjoy all that Merimbula township has to offer, including its airport with direct connections to Sydney and Melbourne. Bega, the Sapphire Coast's regional hub, is just 20 minutes away.
This is more than just a home-it's a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a rare opportunity to secure a truly special piece of the Sapphire Coast.
