A whole house on the South Coast, to yourselves

Five bedrooms, polished concrete underfoot and a kitchen that takes itself seriously — matte Caesarstone with waterfall edges, a 5.4-metre galley run with a 900mm gas cooker, mirrored splashback and a butler's pantry with the laundry tucked inside it. The industrial ducting overhead is deliberate, and it's zoned reverse-cycle, so the place is comfortable in a January heatwave or a July southerly.

Bi-fold doors fold the 6.7 × 6.3 m living and dining room open onto the alfresco on one side and the deck on the other — the covered hardwood one with the built-in barbecue and the wine fridge. Past that, an open-air deck steps down to the combined swim spa and outdoor spa — which is, realistically, where everyone will be. The yard is level and fully fenced, the garage is oversized with mezzanine storage, and one of the rooms is already set up as a gym.

Swim spa, outdoor spa, built-in BBQThe covered deck and the water are the whole point of the house.

Where it is

Ulladulla sits on the Princes Highway about three hours south of Sydney. The house is west of the highway, a short run to the harbour and the shops, with Mollymook just over the hill.

House notes

Bins, keys, the trick with the back door — the things nobody should have to ask twice.

Bring your own sheets and towels. Strip the beds and start a load before you go. Bins go out Tuesday night. If you use the last of something, replace it. Give everyone a heads-up if you're bringing extras — the more the merrier.
