Colourful Bermagui home inspired by Central and South America hits the market

Have you ever gone on an overseas holiday, and returned feeling like you’ve changed forever?

For the sellers of the jaw-dropping three-bedroom home at 102 Lamont Street, Bermagui, there is no denying that the memories of their travels have shaped who they are today. 

With most of the inspiration taken from their Central and South American trips, they have taken a part of their travelling lives and brought it home with them, and now there’s an opportunity to make it part of your life as well. 

“The sellers retired 20 years ago, and have travelled to Morocco, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Mexico, Kashmir, Cuba, Zanzibar and more,” said selling agent Melisa Ashton of Butterfield Property. 

“Their most recent travels included three years sailing in Mexican waters, followed by months of driving through Central and South America.

“The house’s colour scheme is reflective of these travels, and the sellers say it’s also reflective of a lot of time on their hands.”

There is no surprise to anyone that the quirkiness of the property has garnered a lot of attention throughout the campaign, she added. 

As well as being a stand-out property, there are major drawcards that come with its location and the lifestyle it provides.

“It really offers a chance to get out and enjoy the Bermagui lifestyle … it’s a level walk to all facilities including restaurants and cafes, fashion and homeware stores and more,” Ashton says.

“It’s also set back from the road, surrounded by gardens with fruit and vegetables, including figs, bananas, guavas, blood oranges, limes, avocados [and] apples, to name a few.” 

The property has natural surroundings and views of the Bermagui River, mountains and the ocean. 

The home features a north-facing pergola, solar power and hot water, and pedestrian access from a rear laneway. 

“Looking past the attention from its uniqueness, downsizers looking to move into town have appreciated the location and block size, and the overall opportunity this home presents,” Ashton said. 

“Investors are also looking into the property, for an ideal holiday home or permanent rental, as well as owner-occupiers wanting to create their own dream home on the large block.

“There is an opportunity to enjoy the current charm of the property, or turn it into your own idea of ‘home’.”
