A semi-blank canvas: An unfinished home in Bega Valley is up for sale

It’s not often you see an unfinished home up for sale in the real estate market, and while that’s the case for a house in Bega Valley, it’s not one you’ll want to miss. 

Sitting on a large block, the home at 77 Ocean View Drive, Bermagui, is fitted out with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with plans – and enough brick included in the sale – to extend to a second part of the home. 

The builder, who has been crafting the home to the highest standard for the past seven years, has spared no expense when it comes to top quality and well-thought-out design.

“The exterior is a mixture of two different types of brick to give it the sandstone-coloured look and features high ceilings and arch-windows through the interior,” said listing agent Dee Cramb of Clearwater Real Estate.

“The builder has used nothing but the best timbers and bricks, and it would actually be a shame to see someone else buy it and not continue with the same sort of craftsmanship.” 

It’s obvious each detail in the home has been carefully planned, down to the living room cornices featuring lyrebirds and gum leaves. 

As it stands, the home is awaiting flooring and a kitchen to be move-in ready, although there is a functional kitchen in the garage for temporary use. 

The building plans, which can be made available to the buyer, feature an additional bedroom and bathroom in the second part of the home waiting to be built. 

However, for those who like a challenge or want to take the term “fixer-upper” in a slightly different context, this home could be considered a semi-blank canvas. 

“There are endless opportunities here, and that’s the beauty of it,” Ms Cramb said. 

“If you didn’t want the additional bedroom and bathroom, you could fit it out with a deck and a fancy outdoor kitchen for entertaining.” 

For now, the house is liveable and offers the buyer an opportunity to complete the project when the time, and funds, allow. 

Sitting at the end of a suburban street, the home looks out onto the Bermagui Country Club Golf Course on one side and across to a beautiful pond in a green reserve on the other. 

With multiple verandahs and outdoor nooks ready to be enjoyed, the right buyer would not have too much work ahead of them before they reap the benefits of this beautiful home. 

Two hours from the Victorian border and three from Canberra, Bermagui is a highly desirable area known for the best fishing and its pristine beaches. 

If this sounds like a project you would be ready to sink your teeth into, the property is on the market with offers encouraged.
