The beautiful South Coast is emerging as Australia’s latest lifestyle-driven property hotspot with unprecedented demand driven by the pandemic and low interest rates. Buyers looking to secure a beach retreat or weekender are snapping up properties quicker than ever before with shifts towards hybrid working and a better work/life balance fuelling demand. Market surges in places such as Byron Bay and the Sunshine Coast have caused prices to rocket and buyers are looking further south for better value and proximity to Sydney with the now-completed Albion Park bypass giving a massive boost to the area by decreasing travel time by almost a third.

Alexander Phillips has listed an award-winning beach house in conjunction with Callala & Culburra First National with one of the best positions in Culburra Beach affording panoramic northerly views over the beach and ocean to the mountains. Culburra House, at 208 Penguins Head Road, Culburra Beach is wrapped in lush private gardens on a sunny level block with direct access to the sheltered waters of Tilbury Cove and pathway access to Warrain Beach and the surf club. The beautifully styled four-bedroom home opens to a huge deck that’s perfect for entertaining against the breathtaking backdrop, watching whales migrate or kicking back with a cocktail at sunset.

Fronting the golden sands of idyllic Horderns Beach, Debbie Donnelley has an off-market opportunity at 75 Bundeena Drive, Bundeena which is scheduled to go to auction next year, unless sold prior. The two-storey Cape Cod style beach house is just one hour’s drive from Sydney CBD and a breezy 300m stroll to the charming village hub and ferry wharf with regular services to Cronulla. Facing north with ocean views from all four bedrooms and featuring a separate guest cabin, this beachfront paradise is perfect as a weekender or holiday retreat and has operated as a highly successful bed and breakfast for over a decade making it a standout investment.

This week the sales team secured 9 sales with an average price of $2.3m and listed 5 new properties. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
