How would you like to own one of Bermagui’s most distinguished properties?

Set high above Bermagui River and open to the northern sun, 13 Jones Lane is a striking four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that takes full advantage of its remarkable outlook.

Views here stretch across the river all the way to Montague Island, highlighting Gulaga Mountain, Fishermen’s Wharf, Bermagui Point and Rockwall Beach along the way.

Sales agent Sandra Benny from Forbes Stynes Real Estate was captivated by the home’s open, airy feel as soon as she stepped inside.

“This beautiful tri-level property was built in 2017. Newer builds are quite rare in this part of town, so it’s a real standout,” she says.

“I love how the relaxed, beachy feel is balanced by contemporary features.

“The house has great depth; every room feels authentic.”

With three flowing levels, multiple outdoor entertainment zones and lush, low-maintenance gardens on both sides, number 13 is as beautiful as it is practical.

There are loads of creative design touches to discover, including coloured glass in the front door, a sandstone feature wall and slow-combustion fireplace in the lounge and reclaimed hardwood floorboards underfoot that are more than a century old.

Either side of the main living area is a sunroom, currently used as a casual dining space and a versatile rumpus which could easily double as a media or games room.

“The kitchen stands under timber-panelled vaulted ceilings, which I just love,” Sandra says.

“The large blackbutt island bench is perfect for casual meals. All of the appliances are top quality and you have a handy butler’s pantry as well for extra storage.

“It’s an easy transition from the kitchen out to the balcony. Whether you’re dining alfresco or just enjoying a simple morning coffee, this view is sure to impress.”

Both bedrooms on the main level have built-in robes and leafy streetscape views. They share a spacious family bathroom next to the full-sized laundry.

On the home’s top storey is a dedicated master suite with incredible views all the way out to Montague Island.

“The master bedroom offers a peaceful escape from the everyday, complete with a walk-through wardrobe leading to a luxury ensuite,” Sandra says.

“The standout feature here has to be the rare Royal Doulton sink – yet another beautiful design touch. It’s easy to see how much thought has gone into the home’s design.”

The fourth bedroom is on the lowest level with its own bathroom, perfect for guests. Also downstairs is a double garage and attached workshop.

Number 13’s European-style gardens bring even more depth to its character. Lush yet low-maintenance, they are bordered by mature olives, lemons, magnolias and iconic lilli pillies.

In the backyard is a little patio shaded by a cheery yellow awning – the perfect spot to curl up with a book or share a cheeseboard with friends.

Sandra says the home would suit discerning buyers downsizing from rural acreage, avid entertainers and early retirees looking for a sea-change.

“We’re a very active little town with a love for art, music, sport, good food and genuine connections,” she says.

“Bermagui really is a paradise for nature lovers. Horseshoe Bay is great for whale-watching.

“But above all, everyone looks out for each other. We know our neighbours well and people say hello on the street. I think that’s the best thing about living here.”
