Palm Vale is a luxurious farm with ocean views and equine facilities perfectly placed in the tightly held coastal NSW region of Kiama, Berry and Gerringong.

Built in the late 1800s by a Belgium boat builder, according to local legend, every notch of hardwood that makes up Palm Vale’s structure is from the original tall timbers that once scattered the beautiful South Coast.

Palm Vale can be a boutique equine establishment with competition horses currently at the property, a paddock to plate farm gate enterprise or a luxury farm stay commanding a great return, whilst building the dream on top of the hill overlooking the aqua blue waters of the South Coast.  

Situated at the start of the rolling green hills of farm land two hours South of Sydney leading right to the edge of the Pacific, Palm Vale’s location blends coast and country, from the rolling hills and valleys of Jamberoo farms, to the early morning sunrises of Kiama and the South Coast township of Berry – a secret shopping haven scattered with an array of restaurants and cafes to while away the hours.

“We are so excited to share such a rare opportunity to secure a substantial acreage in the heart of the golden triangle of Kiama, Berry and Gerringong. We know how loved this little pocket of coastal and country lifestyle this is,” Deborah Cullen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It has a wonderful sense of community and the range of dining and outdoor experiences shows it to be one of the most sought after areas of the South Coast region.”

The 123-acre (approx. 49.98 hectare) property was purchased in 2017 by Mark and Sallie Williams with a vision to create a quiet luxury retreat on the pristine South Coast. Over the past 6 years, they have lovingly upgraded, renovated and extended this charming 1800’s farmhouse into a luxury boutique style residence. 

Featuring sprawling fertile Kiku pasture carrying 60 Angus breeders, with 3 verdant natural springs, Palm Vale is not only drought proof but also holds her own small nest of original semi tropical rainforest on the crown of the hill overlooking the Pacific. With a consistent annual rainfall of over 1200mm (approx.) the streams and springs of Palm Vale flow almost year-round – as do the honey bees nestled in the apiary atop the valley.

The original dairy building provides multiple rooms for an office space, creative design workshop and storage. Beyond the house, the driveway leads through to the 150m stable block of 6 with hard wood fronts & auto waterers and a boutique tack room. 

“The current owners are living a dream coastal and country lifestyle with a balance of cattle and equine activities, all beautifully catered for. Added to this is the chance to create an incredible new coastal residence with elevated views, which puts this property in a totally different league,” Richard Royle explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

The original timber slab farmhouse features character filled timber lined walls and ceilings of decorative ton bard panelling, beautifully aged kauri pine floors, exposed original board and batten hardwood timber walls.

The recent renovation showcases French double doors off the bedrooms leading to beautiful wide verandas, enjoying a coastal breeze in bed whilst listening to the crashing waves of Werri beach when the easterly blows. Meticulously renovated to be a four bed four bath, skylights throughout enhance the milled recycled hardwood floors, flooded by the western light as the sun goes down in the outdoor living room and custom-built black cedar clad entertaining kitchen.

The luxurious master suite fitted with a feature custom fluted wall of his and her wardrobes and the ensuite bathroom with boasts details such as Brazilian Blue Granite herringbone tiles, Italian Carrara marble walls, bespoke custom-made Bert Frank hand made in England wall sconces and a deep whitewash concrete bath. Shower and bathe looking out to rolling green hills with under floor heating and floor to ceiling glass window overlooking the inground deep blue pool beautifully edged with Egyptian Limestone tiles.

Outside the ponies’ graze in 7 large day yards, four with walk in walk out stables and 2 two mare and foal paddocks with boxes. The tall 120sqm Truck and machinery shed nicely tuck away the working machinery joined empathetically to the stable block with a flow through breeze way.

Beautifully manicured lawns over 4 acres surround the house overlooking the sand dressage arena, edged & framed in a hedge of established lillie pillies.
