Coast and Country: Three stunning regional homes to lure you away from Sydney

Are you a hopeful sea-changer or tree-changer?

Domain has found three homes away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney that could be your ticket out of town.  

Korora

If you’re looking to escape to the beach with a ready- made accommodation sideline, 3/9 Breakers Way could provide such an opportunity.

About six kilometres north of Coffs Harbour, the near-new beachside property has been designed with two self- contained living areas on the lower levels that can be rented out, earning about $600 a week.

Upstairs there is a four-bedroom, two- bathroom home that has a large deck for entertaining. The house is on 2110 square metres and is a stroll to the beach.

It would also suit large families with older teenagers or grandparents living in. 

Expect to pay $1.09 million-$1.19 million for the property through Craig Webber of LJ Hooker Coffs Harbour. 

The property has an open-plan living area.

Crookwell 

On the market for the first time in 40 years is 1214 Binda Road, a 473-hectare property known as Loch Hill. About 2.5 hours drive from Sydney, the farm has an architect-designed home with established gardens, a tennis court and a pool.

The land is a mix of flat and undulating and is set up for cattle, sheep and horses. There are stables, an office, strappers’ accommodation, a round yard and a wash bay.

There is also a two-stand shearing shed, hay and machinery sheds, and a small vineyard watered by an equipped bore.

Paul Mcintosh of Ray White Goulburn has given the property a price guide of $2.5 million.

Shoal Bay

A huge covered terrace flows from the living area and kitchen at 9 Joleen Crescent – perfect for sitting back and enjoying the views over Shoal Bay Beach.

Fully renovated, the property has been made over into a low- maintenance contemporary home that would lend itself to holiday letting. Nearly every room offers views.

The home has a north-east aspect and is at the end of a cul-de-sac next to a national park.

There is a reserve at the front. Inside, the finishes are neutral whites and low- key coffee-browns. 

Tegan Craig of PRDnationwide Port Stephens has the listing, which is expected to sell for $1.5 million-$1.7 million.

The home’s interior is filled with natural light.
