199 Penguins Head Road

Culburra Beach NSW 2540

For luxury living you cannot go past this signature award winning waterfront home that sits high on a narrow headland at seaside Culburra Beach near Nowra; 180 kilometres south of Sydney Harbour Bridge or 212 kms from Canberra. Decks, balconies and a sun deck provide you with expansive ocean views in all directions. You can enjoy the dolphins year round and from August to November watch whales breach almost daily. You have quick access to two surf beaches and to shallow sheltered Tilbury Cove; a suitable swimming site for young children.

There are no steps to the ground floor. After you walk through a spectacular aluminium entrance feature you enter an Atlantic jarrah lined foyer where 7 windows afford water glimpses. You are then in long kitchen-dining room dominated by water and lake views. Voids at the end of this long dining room interconnect the ground floor with the upper floor. Off this spacious room there is a TV-Study and a ground floor master bedroom with its walk-in robe and ensuite. Also on the ground floor are the double garage, the laundry and a games room with a billiard table and a Texas poker table for your enjoyment.

The kitchen boasts top appliances: a Miele oven, steam oven and dishwasher, a Siemens induction cooktop, a Zip hot water heater and a two temperature wine fridge. You can prepare meals watching ocean views. The nearby study with a red blue gum desk with 6 metres of workspace is the work-place to die for. Large windows let you watch all the ocean activity to the south and east as sit at your study-desk.

Large sliding doors throughout the house maximise space and views. From a ground floor bedroom you can watch the sunrise over the oceans distant horizon. From an upper floor master bedroom you can lie in bed and just gaze over the ocean and at serene Lake Wollumboola to the west. Each of the three first floor bedrooms has their own door onto balconies with water views. And on this floor there are two living rooms, a kitchenette, and also an extra TV. A unique talking feature of the house is the upper southern deck built like the prow of a ship. This deck can be accessed from a master bedroom or from an upper lounge room.

A feature of the large double garage is its 2.7 metre entrance and an internal ceiling height of 4 metres to allow workspace; for example on a boat. A large sliding door connects the garage to the games room to create a large entertainment area for special occasions.


For potential buyers
The present owners bought the property in 1986 and built the architect designed Albatross house in 2009. The house may be your future home, or your holiday house, or a house bought for rental income. Holiday houses are now a popular target for investors as they make serious money; much more than from normal 6-12 monthly rentals. Imagine travelling overseas and you have a source of income that can earn you over $1000/day for say over 30 days during the holiday Xmas season! That is why the investment climate for beach houses has changed dramatically. Such houses can give great family enjoyment while providing income and long-term land value appreciation when built in spectacular locations such as Penguin Head, Culburra Beach.

This waterfront home is offered for sale with all its contents, artwork, bedding, cutlery etc. This means it can be used immediately as a home or holiday home. For buyers interested in rental income the house has all the facilities and contents for immediate rent.


Awards
The house won the open house awards for the Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay region in 2010. Of interest to any buyer, this house not only won an award for its architecture but for its construction.
