Situated at 60 Buttenshaw Drive, Coledale, the 30 acre property is something special with huge old trees and an array of flora and fauna sharing the space.
Owner Roger Bdaham, said some of the trees, including a small leaf fig tree (ficus obliqua) and a red cedar tree are probably well over 100 years old.
Mr Badham purchased the home 25 years ago and has planted hundreds of plants and trees, including a small citrus orchard.
He said the old fig tree, located near the front of the house supported an “enormous amount of wildlife” and was an amazing specimen with large roots that cascade over the ground.
“I love it here. It’s a beautiful property and you do feel like you are living in the middle of the rainforest,” Mr Badham said.
Tucked under the escarpment, the four-bedroom home is accessed via a long driveway and features hydronic heating, wide Ironbark timber floors, Tassie oak built-in bookshelves and large windows to take in sunlight and the natural environment.
Nicole Starling from Urban Property Thirroul said the home for sale for offers above $2.3 million. Inspection is by appointment.
BERKELEY BEAUTY WITH LAKE VIEWS
A stunning contemporary designed five-bedroom home listed for auction in December has amazing views of Lake Illawarra.
Only three years old, the luxury home at 105 Shearwater Drive has an open plan layout with spaces separated to allow for easy living. There are Blackbutt timber floors throughout the home.
David Bliss from McGrath Wollongong said high end features included a gourmet kitchen with stone bench tops, an exposed Tasmanian oak staircase and large sandstone balconies.
The home has multiple living and dining areas that extend seamlessly to the outdoors, allowing for easy entertaining and taking advantage of the panoramic lake views.
“This is a spectacular house in terms of the views and how it is finished off,” Mr Bliss said.
“I don’t think there is any other house of this size, of this age, built to this quality, with those views that you can get in greater Sydney for this price,” Mr Bliss said.
The home will be auctioned on December 12.
