Overview

6 Illowra Lane, Hyams Beach

Located down a winding, tree-lined track and perched on a ridge with views over the turquoise waters of Hyams Beach, this property at 6 Illowra Lane offers exceptional privacy and elegance in one of Australia's most sought-after beachside locations. The cul de sac is reserved strictly for local residents, providing a tranquil and secluded environment unmatched elsewhere in the village.

The home showcases solid timber craftsmanship throughout, featuring exposed timber beams, timber floors, soaring ceilings, and excellent cross ventilation that fills every room with natural light, creating a serene and calming atmosphere.

An undercover timber balcony wraps around the entire house, offering a perfect space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Whether lounging in a hammock, sipping morning coffee while observing native birds such as kookaburras and King Parrots, watching echidnas traverse their favorite paths, or enjoying spectacular sunsets and dramatic storms, this outdoor area is a highlight of the property.

The main lounge includes a wood-burning fireplace that provides warmth and ambiance during cooler months, effectively heating the entire house. The ground floor kitchen, dining, and lounge areas are designed for entertaining and collaborative cooking, with ample space to stretch out while maintaining a connected and cozy environment for breakfasts and long dinners.

A second lounge area is currently used as a reading and games room by day and transforms into a personal cinema by night, featuring a six-meter-wide, extra-deep sofa for comfort and relaxation.

The previous owners have cherished this home as a retreat from their busy city lives for over 25 years, welcoming family and friends. The property also presents an opportunity for a permanent sea change or a combination of personal use and tapping into the high-performing short-term rental market, which can yield a minimum of $7,000 per week during peak season.

For those wishing to explore beyond the property, a hidden local track leads down to the beach. Residents can enjoy fish and chips and locally roasted coffee at the village café situated on some of the whitest sand in the world. The area is ideal for watching dolphins, swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling in the clear azure waters that have made Hyams Beach famous.

Returning home, one can enjoy the peacefulness of the village, feeling as though only the sounds of cicadas and kookaburras accompany them.
