Perched on almost 1800 square metres of land above the serene waters of Wagonga Inlet is a home that embraces light and lifestyle in equal measure.
Affectionately named ‘Fairlight’, 62 Old Highway in Narooma features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and loads of outdoor entertainment space.
Facing north, the atmosphere indoors is bright and warm.

Sales agent John Murray from Whale Coast Real Estate says visitors feel welcome the moment they step over the threshold.
“Fairlight has been thoughtfully planned to blend that classic coastal style with something a little more modern,” he says.
“The lounge, dining and kitchen are open plan, but cleverly separated in a way that feels really instinctive.
“Everywhere you look, there’s a view across sweeping gardens or out to Wagonga Inlet, which is only a short stroll away.”
The custom kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances, an island bench, plenty of storage space and a handy walk-in pantry.
Upstairs is a flexible study space with an elevated outlook of the water, complemented by a covered balcony on the southern side.
Spotted gum floors flow throughout both sun-drenched levels.
All four bedrooms are nicely sized with garden or inlet views. There are two on the main level, each with an ensuite.
The master bedroom enjoys great privacy, being somewhat separated from the rest of the level. It features a generous walk-in wardrobe and oversized shower with dual heads.
Two more bedrooms share a family bathroom on the lower level. One is currently used as a second living space, framed by soft light and green surrounds.
Also downstairs is a double garage with a convenient dumbwaiter, a full-sized laundry, and a covered terrace for shady relaxation.
Outside is where Fairlight really comes into its own. John calls the residence an entertainer’s dream.
“The fully equipped outdoor kitchen has to be my favourite feature of this property,” he says.
“It encourages relaxed family time and effortless hosting, perfect for gatherings that stretch from day into night.”
It’s pretty easy to put yourself in this picture.
In the gardens below, established hedges and fresh landscaping, vibrant pops of seasonal colour, and a well-planned orchard create a true garden paradise that slopes gently down towards Wagonga Inlet.
“There’s also a lovely little art studio in front of the home that could be used for just about anything,” John says.
“You’ll never be out of a parking space here either. In addition to the double garage on the lower level, there’s an extra double garage outdoors, with workshop space and a loft for additional storage.
“For those of you with boats or caravans, I think the dedicated carport brings it all together in terms of convenience.”
Narooma is a famously beautiful seaside town known for its thriving food scene and community-minded locals.
It’s also home to the annual Narooma Oyster Festival, where farmers, chefs and shuckers come together to celebrate the humble rock oyster.
“Your weekends here can be as busy as you want them to be,” John says.
“Narooma has excellent food, wine, fishing, surfing, swimming, hiking, boats, golf, watersports, and wildlife watching on land and in the water.
“It’s also a genuinely connected place to live. More than half of our population enjoys some kind of volunteer work, whether they’re running a charity BBQ or looking after the community garden.”
John believes Fairlight would be perfectly suited to a retiree couple that loves to entertain, holiday homeowners, or a large family looking for a premier home close to the ocean.
