This exceptional rural estate will entice both those looking for a private family haven in the country or sea-changers who love the beach and coastal lifestyle.
Jerrymara Farm encompasses a sprawling, private & magnificent formal country garden of some 4 acres, surrounded by lush farmland acres.
Accommodation at Jerrymara Farm includes two luxuriously appointed cottages nestled amongst the privacy and beauty of its large and opulent country garden.
The main traditional dairy cottage has been modernised offering 3 double bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms, a light filled open plan lounge - dining area & a recently upgraded kitchen with high end European appliances. All the rooms open to lovely hardwood timber decks overlooking the tranquil grounds, which are ideal for alfresco dining.
The second cottage is a light-flooded contemporary cedar clad dwelling comprised of 2 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom complete with sunken baths & heated floors. There is a large lounge area with polished Bluegum floors opening through cedar bi-folds to a large timber sundeck. There is also limed vaulted timber ceilings and a functional kitchenette. The cottage is well heated with gas & convection heaters and warm woollen carpets in the bedrooms. There are picturesque views of the magnificent gardens from the level surrounding verandas.
In addition there is a recently constructed large cedar-clad machinery shed spanning two levels with a lovely spacious loft, modern kitchen, bathroom and living area. This separate dwelling serves well as a teenager retreat or caretaker s cottage.
The magnificent grounds surrounding the cottages at Jerrymara Farm are reminiscent of the large formal country gardens of Europe and are breathtaking in scale with towering 200-year-old Moreton Bay Fig trees and hundreds of metres of hand constructed dry stone walls hedging lawned terraces leading to the two lakes. There is a sparkling mosaic tiled heated 12 metre swimming pool & a championship sized flood lit tennis court finished in Classic-Clay all weather surface.
The magnificent garden will simply take your breath away in both scope and beauty.
Elsewhere on the farm, the upper paddocks have spectacular views that take in the Pacific Ocean & Werri Beach to the east, Saddleback Mountain to the north and Jervis Bay to the south and offer superb potential for a selection of beautiful home sites (STCA).
The property already has an approved DA for an additional parents retreat and office. There is also potential for use of Jerrymara Farm as a country wedding venue, a market which is growing rapidly in the Kiama and Berry area.
The property currently generates annual income of circa $250K from holiday lettings with enormous potential to make further improvements such as luxury cabins (STCA) and substantially increase its annual income potential.
Jerrymara Farm on the one hand presents a rare opportunity to own a beautiful private family estate in a popular area so close to Sydney and the coast - or on the other to capitalise on and enhance an established investment property with obvious potential from a number of luxury tourism and agricultural opportunities.
