Long-time locals Mark and Sue Berry have owned this iconic couple’s retreat for the better part of three decades, but they’re ready to pass it on to new owners in 2024. Photos: Venture Property Specialists.
Tucked into a magical little corner of pristine South Coast forest is 2352 George Bass Drive – ‘The Bower’.
Having been successfully run as a couple’s retreat for decades, The Bower features five self-contained luxury villas, a 2.5-bedroom manager’s residence, a Tesla charging station, a dressage arena and stables. It’s all set on 106 acres of untouched bushland within walking distance of Broulee Beach.
The property offers an unparalleled, truly fantastic coastal lifestyle on an exceptionally rare large acreage.
Stephanie Dibden, principal and licensee of Venture Property Specialists, says The Bower presents a perfect blend of natural surroundings and indulgent interiors.
“The Bower at Broulee would suit a lifestyle buyer looking to create a dream retreat with extra space for friends and family, or a savvy investor keen to take over a long-standing business with immense potential for growth and development,” she says.
“Visitors get to enjoy their own bubble of private bushland on one of the most beautiful stretches of the coast, yet are equipped with all the modern comforts of home. It’s a unique offering that attracts tourists from all over.
“Given the sheer size of the block, if you wanted to build your dream home, you could do so without giving up your own elite level of privacy – or that of your guests.”
Each ‘bower’ enjoys its own secluded patch of coastal forest, at least 100 metres from the next residence and screened by dense native foliage that provides ultimate privacy and stunning views from all rooms.
There are two contemporary designs for visitors to enjoy, each fully self-contained with reverse cycle air-conditioning, WiFi, a romantic wood fire, a fully equipped kitchen, smart TVs and more.
Architecturally designed with high-pitched ceilings to emulate a bower bird’s run, their interiors are sleek and refined, and they have expansive windows that make the lush outdoor foliage especially striking.
The Broulee region is celebrated for its unspoilt natural environment and abundant wildlife.
There are regular furred and feathered visitors, and if you’re lucky, you may also be able to spot monitor lizards as they sun themselves on the many rockeries between towering spotted gums. Nearby waters, including those around Broulee Beach, are along migratory routes for humpback and southern right whales.
This holding also adjoins the massive Illawong Nature Reserve – full of little-known bush trails and exploration sites that are currently only available to guests of The Bower.
For buyers who would expand upon the current business offering, there is an approved development application for a two-stage, 12-lot, community title subdivision, as well as concept plans for additional cabins, an amphitheatre, a restaurant and more, designed to ‘harmonise’ with The Bower’s natural surrounds.
“Broulee is a charming coastal township with friendly locals, beautiful scenery and loads of opportunities to shop, dine and explore,” Stephanie says.
“People are drawn to the area for its natural beauty, defined by where rolling hills and grand forests meet the sea. Why not make it your new home?”
