Settled into a small lifestyle estate halfway between Tathra and Merimbula is a distinctive tri-level home with plenty of quirks to enjoy.

84 Emerald Crescent in Wallagoot is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence built in 2000. Set on a gently sloping 5000 sqm block that backs onto Bournda National Park, the home maintains its privacy despite being a short drive to amenities.

Sales agent Natalie Scott from Tathra Beach Real Estate describes the property as “an outdoor enthusiast’s dream”. She loves the home’s inviting atmosphere and the views it provides over nearby Jellat wetlands, Bega, and the mountains beyond.

“The word ‘charming’ gets thrown about quite a lot, but here it is especially fitting,” Natalie says.

“As soon as you walk in, you just want to curl up in the sun and relax. There are contrasting textures and shapes everywhere you look, and they create a wonderful sense of character.”

Stone, timber, Colorbond and rendered materials build interest from the moment visitors enter through the relaxed dining room. Elevated ceilings, contrasting angles and picture windows continue the quirky theme into the generous living room and U-shaped kitchen.

“These are all cosy spaces kept comfortable year-round with a brand new, slow-combustion heater, reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans,” Natalie says.

“All three bedrooms are good sizes, with the master offering sweeping valley views and a private, tranquil feel. Every single window has a leafy outlook to the bush that brings the outdoors in and makes you feel hidden away from the rest of the world.”

Outdoor entertainment and relaxation are absolute musts in this setting. The home’s next owners will be spoilt with an elevated deck overlooking the valley below – it’s the perfect spot to gather with family and friends or unwind with a cuppa while greeting the sunrise.

“There’s plenty of space to expand too – you could add a shed or garage, some veggie gardens, a little orchard … Anything you wanted to, really,” Natalie says.

Number 84 is connected to town power and water. Other features include a 12-panel solar system with solar hot water, a sturdy chicken coop and meticulously landscaped, low-maintenance gardens with stone-retaining walls and vibrant natives throughout.

This home is just 20 minutes from Merimbula and Bega. Closer to home is Wallagoot Lake – load up the 4WD or enjoy a scenic walk down to the water for skiing, fishing, boating and more.

If the beach is more your style, stunning Wine Glass Bay is hidden between lush cliffs nearby, and Tathra Beach is a 10-minute drive away.

“Number 84 would be the perfect investment for a young family who want to raise their kids on the coast or downsizers looking for a slice of land that is easily managed but more private than suburbia,” Natalie says.

“Thanks to nearby amenities, you’re getting all the benefits of living out of town without any of the drawbacks. It’s a true hidden gem”

84 Emerald Crescent in Wallagoot is priced at $945,000. For more information or to book a private inspection, contact Natalie Scott on 0419 417 807. Keeping an eye on the market? Check out all the latest listings on Zango.
