Berry NSW 2535

Construction of Belair Berry commenced in 1954 under its original owner and builder, George Boris, a Ukrainian migrant who made Berry his home and established himself as the towns original veterinarian.

The homes construction was highly unique for its time. Despite post-war building material shortages, the lower level was crafted in double brick, while three separate concrete slabs created varying ceiling heights and levels throughout the residence. The higher slabs extend across the dining room and bedroom wing, while a lower slab sits above the lounge and kitchen. Upstairs, the two guest suites and adjoining terrace were constructed across the elevated slabs.

The result is a fascinating, P&O-influenced design filled with unexpected nooks, subtle level changes and architectural features that continue to delight more than seven decades later.

The main lower-level residence offers three bedrooms and a large central bathroom overlooking a secluded rainforest-style garden. A series of gentle steps elevates the bedroom and dining areas, creating natural separation between the homes living zones while adding to its distinctive character.

Beyond the main residence are four additional private guest suites, each with its own bathroom and sink and thoughtfully positioned so that no two share a common wall.

Two suites occupy the upper level, separated by a partially covered terrace and cleverly offset to capture cooling breezes during the warmer months. The remaining two garden suites were converted from the propertys original veterinary rooms, preserving another unique connection to Belair Berrys history.

With the flexibility to accommodate up to 17 guests, the property presents exciting potential as a luxury holiday retreat, boutique accommodation offering or memorable venue for themed photography and creative shoots, or potentially to create a hospitality style hub subject to any relevant approvals. Its distinctive architecture, generous grounds and versatile accommodation configuration provide opportunities rarely found in the heart of Berry.

Despite its sense of privacy and scale, Belair Berry is positioned just minutes on foot from the towns renowned cafs, restaurants, boutiques and specialty retailers, allowing guests and residents to enjoy everything Berry has to offer without needing the car.

For purchasers seeking even greater space or future potential, there is also the option to acquire the block of land positioned behind the property, comprising approximately 850sqm, by separate negotiation.

Rich in history, individuality and possibility, Belair Berry is a true local icon, an unforgettable property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
