Each year when summer draws close, every Canberran has the same thought: to escape to the South Coast as often as possible.
While crowded beaches, caravan parks and camping grounds add to the appeal for some, others crave the idyllic beach atmosphere in a more tranquil setting.
If you’re one of the latter, 181 Mullimburra Point Road, Bingie, will no doubt tick all of your boxes.
Surrounded by Eurobodalla National Park, this property offers almost two hectares of land, including an established dam, the main house and a large shed/garage with an attached kitchen, bathroom and small bedroom.
The main dwelling is north-facing and includes three bedrooms and an open-plan living area with soaring vaulted ceilings – currently being used as surfboard storage by the owner.
Take another page out of the current owner’s book and rig up a hammock on the deck. Overlooking the picturesque dam, it’s the perfect place to listen to birdsong and soak up the serenity.
If you’re looking for an additional income stream – or simply enjoy hosting guests – you’ll appreciate that the infrastructure for glamping has been built, including tent decking and toilet/shower facilities separate from the main house.
This particular area of the South Coast is loved by locals and visitors alike for its beautiful scenery, bushwalking tracks and beaches. Within Eurobodalla National Park you’ll find Bingi Dreaming Track, which offers stunning views.
The home is a stone’s throw from a number of beaches between Bingie Bingie Point and Mullimburra Point, all of which offer turquoise waters that are perfect for snorkelling. Nearby, Grey Rocks is a well-known spot for fishing, while Congo Beach is favoured by surfers.
Bingie is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Canberra and is sandwiched between Moruya and Tuross Head.
