16 Sanctuary Place, MINNAMURRA NSW 2533

Coastal Living with a Difference

House - MINNAMURRA NSW

Few locations capture the South Coast lifestyle quite like Minnamurra. With Jones Beach, Minnamurra River and the iconic Minnamurra Headland virtually at your doorstep, this is a pocket celebrated for its spectacular coastline, dramatic headland walks, swimming, surfing and some of the region’s most impressive ocean views. Add Kiama Golf Club, local cafés and easy access into Kiama, and it is easy to understand why this tightly held community is so loved.

Elevated within a quiet cul-de-sac, 16 Sanctuary Place makes the most of its setting. Northerly light and cooling sea breezes move through the home, while beautiful escarpment views provide a striking backdrop. It feels peaceful and private, yet everything that makes this part of the coast so special is remarkably close.

The home itself is anything but conventional. Soaring ceilings create an immediate sense of scale, with reclaimed ironbark timbers bringing warmth and character to the expansive kitchen and living areas. A new gas fireplace anchors the lounge, while the front room has been transformed into an impressive library with extensive wall shelving and its own library ladder.

Entertaining is where the home really comes into its own.

A temperature-controlled cellar, entered through a striking vintage Gothic-style door, incorporates its own wet bar and bifold servery windows, allowing drinks to be passed directly outside. From here, the home opens to a substantial entertaining area with a pizza oven and remote-controlled louvred roof, allowing sunlight in on beautiful days or complete protection when the weather turns. Sheltered by the original quarry walls, it is an incredibly private space designed to be enjoyed throughout the year.

Upstairs, the master suite is very much a private parents’ retreat, occupying its own level and creating a wonderful sense of separation from the rest of the home. A mezzanine sitting area leads through to the generous bedroom, ensuite and north-facing balcony, while three further bedrooms, multiple living areas and a dedicated home office provide excellent flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.

Another unexpected element is revealed above the residence. A staircase leads to a hidden elevated garden, with rows of citrus and established garden beds. From this upper section, the outlook really opens up, with striking views in multiple directions across the surrounding landscape and towards the magnificent escarpment in the distance, along with glimpses of the ocean towards Jones Beach.

There is a genuine sense of community here too. Sanctuary Place is peaceful and friendly, the kind of neighbourhood where children can ride their bikes, the beach can become part of the everyday routine and weekends can be spent walking the headland, swimming in the river or entertaining at home.

Spacious, individual and full of personality, 16 Sanctuary Place offers something increasingly difficult to find: a substantial family home with privacy and character, surrounded by some of the most beautiful coastline the South Coast has to offer.
