Fulfilling dreams of idyllic country living as well as sophisticated architectural beauty, 205 Tourist Road is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom property on 35 hectares in Beaumont, between Berry and Kangaroo Valley.
Set into a hill, the home was passionately designed to fit in within the landscape, with a consistent design present in the internal spaces and the building structure itself.
“When you look at its position on the saddle of the mountain, sort of built into it, it’s clear how much effort has been put into the overall design,” Bond Lifestyle Properties agent Carrie Bond says.
“And if you were to look at it from a bird’s-eye view, it would blend right in thanks to that garden roof.”
This home, built to work within the landscape, carries that design through to the internal spaces. Japanese-inspired Shou Sugi Ban charred timber cladding, natural timber flooring, marine ply timber and massive windows make the living spaces and bedrooms feel at home in the landscape.
“An understated, Nordic style makes for an amazing aesthetic, especially with finishes like aged brass tapware and marble tiling,” Carrie says.
“The windows especially do so much to create a unique feeling. The view takes in the valley below, distant mountains and, of course, the nearby paddocks.”
This property’s 35 hectares are more than just for show; it’s currently outfitted for cattle, with fenced paddocks, each fed by bore water, a large dam and even a shed configured for woodworking.
“The couple who currently own it keep Poll Herefords, and it’s a perfect place to have a lifestyle farm, especially as all of the infrastructure needed is already in place,” Carrie says.
Cattle can be seen almost all the time, roaming from paddock to paddock in full view of the verandah, making for a peaceful foreground view, with the mountains in the background.
Other wildlife, like kangaroos, wallabies, native birds and ducks, regularly make an appearance.
“You could have a very peaceful life here, spending your days looking down into the valley and taking in views of the mountains,” Carrie says.
This versatility is partially what makes 205 Tourist Road such a rare find; it combines a genuine, revenue-producing farm with the ability to act as a secluded weekender, perfect for escaping city noise.
Positioned in an ideal mountain location near Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Nowra, this property provides access to all three towns within just 15 minutes.
“You get to live up in this secluded mountain paradise, yet it’s just a short drive to three local centres. Someone living here could easily pop down to the General Cafe or Madison’s in Kangaroo Valley for their morning coffee or a pub feed,” Carrie says.
If the home is kept as a weekender or occasional holiday home, it can be easily locked up or opened as required.
“The property has sliding timber screens and integrated security doors, so that if you’re going away for a while you can lock it up securely without having to worry about it,” Carrie says.
“And of course once you come back, simply open the sliding doors and the home is bright and open again.”
A mountain getaway, a quiet place to retire, or a functioning farm with real capacity, 205 Tourist Road is the rare kind of property that attracts everyone’s attention.
