317 South Head Road, Moruya Heads, NSW 2537

It is not a typo! Just a once in a lifetime chance to secure a home that perfectly blends character, charm, nostalgia, practicality, beaches and bushland, and just a little bit of magic....

Sitting right on the peaceful bank of Gilmores Creek, a charming tidal waterway that is the best kept secret of the locals, not only will you enjoy privacy and serenity but you can kayak straight from your back boundary and explore parts of the coastline that others will never get the chance to see!

This charming 1960s cottage offers a rare riverfront lifestyle, without breaking the bank. With tidal waters leading to the Moruya River and just 400 meters from Preddys Wharf, this home also provides easy access to launch your boat at the dedicated boat ramp, go fishing in the pristine waterways, or simply enjoy the abundant nature and birdlife. The river laps gently at the edge of your property, creating a serene backdrop as you take in uninterrupted, elevated views of the surrounding nature reserve.

The cottage, while updated over the years, has retained its original character and charm. Simply picturesque from the outside, this continues as you step inside to be greeted by a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Huge corner windows capturing the northern sun, plantation shutters to solidify the coastal feel, french doors and exposed beams all adding to the charm and polished timber floors throughout, including the two bedrooms, both offering picturesque views of the bushland and water. There is a charming original nectre bakers oven that has both a slow combustion fireplace with combined oven so you can bake your bread while you warm the house. Combined with this old school charm is the addition of modern solar panels to keep running costs low. 

The lower level has had many uses over the years, while most recently transformed into a light-filled art studio and break out additional living space. There is a sink area, and a separate toilet plus external access meaning its future use is simply up to your imagination. The exposed beams and original Moruya granite wall add a touch of timeless beauty to the space.

Outside, the lovingly landscaped gardens make the most of the block, with a variety of play and entertaining areas leading down to the river. There's also a flat, fenced lawn, perfect for children, a garden shed for all the toys and a meandering path you would be forgiven for getting lost along. A dedicated parking space can easily be converted into a garage or carport, with additional ample street parking available.

Whether you're seeking a permanent home that immerses you in nature or a unique holiday retreat, this property offers a rare combination of character and waterfront living. Moruya Heads is an undiscovered gem, but opportunities like this won't last long-come fall in love with this enchanting home. I know I sure did!
