'Takes your breath away': Perfect tree change home in Shoalhaven up for sale

Not far from the township of Berry you’ll find this beautiful residence, on almost five hectares of land, snuggled into the landscape at the top of Mount Hay Road in Broughton Vale. 

Surrounded by a combination of rainforest and landscaped gardens, it’s easy to imagine yourself lounging in the sunroom off the side of the house, looking out at the greenery. 

“This is a very desirable area, close to the Berry township and the coast,” selling agent Susie Timbs of Raine and Horne Berry says. 

“You also have the added benefit of a lot of land, without compromising on being too remote.”

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is generously spaced, featuring large windows that welcome plenty of natural light into the living areas.

While it’s hard not to marvel at the renovated interiors, the garden is the real standout. 

Take your pick from the statement indoor fire for the cooler winter months or entertain outside where there is ample space for a fire pit and to entertain guests. 

With an array of fruit trees and a fenced vegetable garden within the landscape, you’ll also find age-old trees you can admire in the surrounding rainforest. 

Owner Robyn Baxendale is regrettably letting go of the property to downsize, after purchasing it with her husband just over five years ago.  

While it’s a bittersweet farewell for Baxendale, she is ready for the next owners to take it over.

“Before my foot touched the ground in Broughton Vale, and before I even saw this place I knew I would buy it – it’s just the sort of property that takes your breath away,” she says. 

“We love Berry, and it was a great move for us and we are definitely staying – Shoalhaven has become my spiritual home.”

And if you are partial to boutique shopping and the Famous Berry Donut Van, this is definitely the place for you.
