Kick back in the arms of Angourie's still-warm Country Soul.
The pretty little coastal hamlet of Angourie, separated from the burgeoning town of Yamba five clicks down Angourie Road there, is one of those rare joints that has so far resisted the siren call of development.
Curbless streets, rocks pools, everyone knows everyone, two world-class waves. If you’ve ever seen the 1971 surf classic Morning of the Earth, you’ll know the sequence of Baddy Treloar hacking the point to bits on a board he made in his backyard to the John J Francis song Simple Ben.
The birth of country soul.
And, now, if you’ve got four-mill or thereabouts, you can get a piece of sweet little Angourie with 65 Pacific Street, the closest joint to the Point and overlooking Yuraygir National Park out the back. Land size is almost seven thousand square feet.
It’s a compelling sell,
The house itself is what sea change dreams are made of.
A sophisticated and contemporary twist on the classic timber beach house, with some of the most spectacular ocean views you will find anywhere.
This spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom beach house includes an open plan living, dining, kitchen area with a covered veranda wrapping around three sides.
The materials, finishes and fixtures used in the home are of the highest quality and pay homage to the surrounding natural landscape.
A dream for nature watchers, there is a huge range of birds in the surrounding bushland, families of kangaroos who often visit to feed on the grass close to the house and migrating whales which can be seen from the veranda.
Spectacular views of sunrises, moonrises and sunsets from the property are a highlight.
How much to retire to one of the last great surfer houses, which last traded in 1988 for sixty-five gees?
The joint next door sold for four-mill back in May (bought for $420k in 1998) so expect that as a minimum.
Contact the agent, the lovely Janis Perkins, if you got the cash, want to retire to heaven.
Expressions of interest close February 14.
It’d be alright if ya cut down all the trees in front to get a decent view…of the carpark…
I was disappointed when they changed Rocky Laurie Drive to Pacific Parade because the developers didn’t want rich white ppl buying into a investment when the street is named after a successful local athlete because he was “Black “.
Cheap as in Sydney terms
Could’ve just got vaccinated and entered without an international drama. But maybe that would have been too easy.
For $2.8m usd Novak could quarantine there until the Aussie open begins. But one is left to wonder if it comes with the 911(likely a 993) depicted in the carport drawing?
4 mil and you can’t lay on the sofa and watch the waves break, bad deal.
Is your ideal place somewhere you can access a view of quality waves and an internet comment section from a sofa?
Yes
$4m for a one bedder, seems fair
Not your average one-bedder I’d suggest.
The lovely Janis might be past her better days, no ?
A kind description nevertheless.
Real Estate Goth.
It’s a look, certainly.
Her “better days”??? I guess that depends on how she defines her “better days” doesnt it? Fortunately most of us realize as we age that our better days really dont have much to do with our physical attributes at all. Unless of course were about as deep as a mud piddle
Suitable for any rich, lonely people out there in the world
Helps keep the family away
Speaking or ‘warm cuntry soul’ where’s Wiggs these day?
I was up late working on our Laundry business logo sticker and was almost there when Illustrator crashed. Lost all the work.
Downvote for the lost work and because I hate Illustrator
I actually fricken love Illustrator, but I hardly get to use it these days and I don’t have an autosave setup and got accustomed to it on other programs like ACAD, Vectorworks.
I’m used to the controls and features of XD and Figma, so frustration abounds whenever I have to do anything on Illustrator
I’ve never forgiven Adobe for killing Freehand. The best most flexible layout and design app bar none.
I’m kinda over it now …. Sort of ….
If you want a real Angourie story, have a dig into former Billabong man Gordon Merchant and the role he’s playing in the proposed ” West Yamba” housing estate at the back of Angas. Usually developer / council buy offs. Local community, both surfing and otherwise, very unhappy.
Juicy
My pet conspiracy theory is that there actually is a shadowy group of people who control the world, but instead of the illuminati it’s a bunch of bit real estate developers who control their local governments.
Been going on since the nineties. Did it get through?
I do remember when Gordon paid 680k for a joint opposite the beach in 2004, sold it fifteen years later, two years before the boom, for 755.
