POOL NOT FOR USE FOR MAYBE A WEEK (6/1/‘26) - POOL MAINTENANCE MAN IN HOSPITAL (HEART)
Private 1 acre in the middle of 350 acres of privately owned forest! Ocean views! Nth aspect! Soaring 4m ceilings!

Who says you can't have absolute luxury, be completely offgrid & not a rooftop in sight!

It is not perfect, but it is spectacular

WOW - THE LINK! CHECK THIS OUT! Bit older but so well done!
(Simply cut&paste to ya search engine!)
https://youtu.be/1PKhaaX1KN8

Great dates for Xmas, NY & Easter school holidays still available! Discounts for “couple only” stay! Just ask - l’m usually fairly generous as it is less impact on my home!

Please be aware that this is a ecologically sensitive residence & l prefer guests have as little impact on the environment as possible!

I do attempt to recycle all wastes, conserve energy use & restrict water wastage whenever possible! I just attempt to live responsibly & would appreciate if guests could show similar empathy!

It must be noted that guests MUST NOT WANDER from the house onto the surrounding farm for biodiversity reasons! No dogs for the same reason!
The gravel road from gate to house is only for driving in & out! Not for walkies!

IDEAL for an executive couple in the sumptuous private super-king bedroom!

If just for a couple, please see “ExcluZivelyYourZ”, also on this same platform & others, the indoor lap-pool & reduced prices! Same residence, but “all to yourselves” (4max) & use of all the main living area, huge TV, stereo etc & front deck, All except my bedroom above the lounge/kitchen/living area, although l am not in residence when guests are present! Think “escape the teeming tourists” yet be 12-15 mins drive from the beaches!

We did not experience bushfires in our spectacular secluded valley or nearby villages in recent years, but many close trees have been trimmed as per usual @ this time each year!!

Gerringong & Berry are only 10-12 mins away!

12-15 mins drive to Werri beach! Seven Mile beach a further 5mins Sth of Gerringong!

Off-grid solar (with quality backup generator), econocycle, & tank water - 2 huge new 30,000l tanks! Water perfectly safe for drinking!

Booking must be in consultation with host please! Only text until booking confirmed (their rule)!

Privacy in a mature forest & young children are welcome!

You do not see other houses & the drive up through the valley is just beautiful, farmland down low, mature old-growth forest closer to the house!

The huge leather lounge in the main living area is sooo comfy!

The main SuperKing suite has amazing colonial cedar furnishings & a magnificent mahogany wardrobe!

The queen bed suite has an additional connecting bathroom & a small lower level foyer area set up as a private kitchenette!

Bathrooms adjoin both of the separate rear superking & queen bedrooms & there is now an additional 3rd toilet!

The big Heatmaster open-fireplace adds comforting warmth on those cold winter days! There is a safety screen, but young children do need to be supervised!
Firewood & kindling are stacked in cooler months & ready for use upon arrival!

All high quality bed linen, doonas & towels are included! Also for any additional guests!

The front deck embraces ocean & valley views & has 4m wide, 3m high bifold doors that open up from the cathedral like main living area!

The residence has a fairly rustic atmosphere as the 150-year-old cedar furniture has the inevitable patina of age!

The white-on-white colourscheme throughout creates a very impressive light-filled space for the many precious antiques!

Functional kitchen with a huge commercial gas cooktop (oven awaiting new jet delivery, double sink, loads of storage space & massive fridge/freezer! Also a selection of BBQs - huge new 6 burner BBQ (under shelter) & small Weber Baby Q on front deck!

Amazing mid1800 cedar & mahogany furniture throughout (chests, robes, bookcases)

Large flatscreen TV & quality hifi, with masses of DVD concerts or just plug your iPhone in for your own music!

Two huge rainwater tanks & great water pressure!

The active solar system produces sufficient 240v power (if guests do not indiscriminately waste power)! There is a $8,000 backup deisel generator & now with an automatic relay to support & boost the solar system during inclement weather & lmake sure l am close by in the local area (usually my motorhome) for support, mainly re use of the deisel backup generator to make sure of sufficient fuel!

l do meet guests on arrival, as this is my home & l would like to feel comfortable & make sure guest also feel comfortable!

DO NOT ask for one night stays or discounts as it is already reduced & one night is not economically viable

Extra guests (2 max) are possible after consolation with myself! The house is very large & movement through it is not compromised, although privacy is, to a certain extent! $100/adult/day! I still prefer that extra guests are family members!

My home is NOT SUITABLE for young people who stay up all night partying! Be warned as you will be evicted without any refund!

Book a w/end to appreciate the value of PENTHOUSE-STYLE LUXURY IN A WILDERNESS PARADISE!

Long weekend getaway

We were made to feel very welcome. House is great that gives you the sense of isolation but it is only 20 minutes from Berry and other tourist spots. Also, the dog enjoyed it as much as us :)

Spacious and great location

A very spacious modern home with antique furniture and some quirky pieces. The very open plan may not suit everyone with the ‘master bedroom/space’ overlooking the kitchen. The 2 bathrooms are connected to the 2nd and 3rd bedroom. A bit tricky for 3 couples. We enjoyed our meals on the veranda, overlooking the view.

Fantastic location and amazing views

This place was amazing and the host was incredibly helpful! The location is tucked away and offers such a great escape. The house is spacious and easily accommodates large groups. Only draw back is that the bathrooms were located in the two ensuites so may be difficult for groups of friends to use. Additionally, only one of the bedrooms has a door.

Pictures don't do it justice

Michael was very communicative in the lead up and during our stay. On arrival we were very pleasantly surprised by how large the place is. We walked, rode our bikes, took kids to Jambaroo, Berry, and Gerringong. Plenty to do there. Most enjoyable was sitting by fire and eating meals by the large windows looking down over foxgrounds. Michael takes great care of the property and it's guests.

Excellent Stay

Two families spent 3 nights at the property and we had a very good time. Great location and very nice and clean house with all the required facilities including the spacious lounge for kids to spend time together. We enjoyed the stay and thank Michael for looking after us well. A bit of consideration to be given to the locks and keys, will make the stay more complete (but still it gives you the outback experience though).

Excellent holiday home

We had a fantastic time at this property with family, pets were allowed and was a huge bonus for us! Michael was attentive, helpful and flexible and a fantastic host who cares about providing best experience for guests. The house was very spacious, open plan, has lots of unique features and cosy areas to relax and chill out. Lot of bush walking around the place, farm animals within walking distance and plenty of outdoor area for kids to run around. Lot of beautiful beaches within 10 mints drive. We had a memorable X’mas at Michael’s property and thank you for hosting us! We will definitely visit again.

Bushland retreat

Set up high on the hill overlooking Foxground valley out towards the ocean. Foxground is private and peaceful set under tall euycalypts with kangaroos hopping occasionally by. The house has large welcoming spaces with a pleasant mix of old and new featuring high ceilings and some curated furnishings . foxground is truely off grid. Running on solar power and tank water though there is a backup generator and mobile reception. Beds are very comfortable lush manchester and host Michael is helpful and keen to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Good location avout 15 min to Gerringong or Berry. Foxgrounds is quirky lux and Worked very well for 2 families with kids sleeping in the elevated zone/ 3rd bedroom loft in main living area
