WOW - THE LINK! CHECK THIS OUT!
(Simply cut&paste to ya search engine!)
https://youtu.be/1PKhaaX1KN8

Great dates for Xmas, NY & Easter school holidays still available!

Please be aware that this is a ecologically sensitive residence & l prefer guests have as little impact on the environment as possible!

I do attempt to recycle all wastes, conserve energy use & restrict water wastage whenever possible! I just attempt to live responsibly & would appreciate if guests could show similar empathy!

It must be noted that guests MUST NOT WANDER from the house onto the surrounding farm for biodiversity reasons! No dogs for the same reason!
The gravel road from gate to house is only for driving in & out! Not for walkies!

IDEAL for 2 couples in the sumptuous private bedroom suites! Even 3 couples, but with less privacy as home very open-planned (few doors)! Family works well eg parents & grown up married children!

If just for a couple, please see “ExcluZivelyYourZ”, also on this same platform & others, @ much more affordable rates & accurate prices! Same residence, but “all to yourselves”!

SPACIOUS enough for a family get-together of up to 7 for that special summer holiday or birthday celebration! Think “escape the teeming tourists” yet be 12-15 mins from the beaches!

We did not experience bushfires in our spectacular secluded valley or nearby villages last year!

Gerringong & Berry are only 10-12 mins away!

12-15 mins drive to Werri beach! Seven Mile beach a further 5mins Sth of Gerringong!

Off-grid solar (with quality backup generator), econocycle, & tank water - 2 huge new 30,000l tanks! Water perfectly safe for drinking!

Booking must be in consultation with host please! Only text until booking confirmed (their rule)!

Privacy in a mature forest & young children are welcome!

You do not see other houses & the drive up through the valley is just beautiful, farmland down low, mature old-growth forest closer to the house!

The huge leather lounge in the main living area is sooo comfy!

The penthouse style main front room includes a king size bed on a elevated platform area & provides almost total privacy (without drawing curtains) if that intimate couple escape is desired! From this raised mezzanine level you are presented with amazing views of sunrises (usually my bed, of course)!

The main SuperKing suite has amazing colonial cedar furnishings & a magnificent mahogany wardrobe!

The queen bed suite has an additional connecting bathroom & a small lower level foyer area! An additional high quality king single ensemble has been recently added to this bedroom (on the lower level) & is ideal for a young child (or simply to throw your bags on)! Also a private entrance if needed!

Bathrooms adjoin both of the separate rear superking & queen bedrooms & there is now an additional 3rd toilet!

The big Heatmaster open-fireplace adds comforting warmth on those cold winter days! There is a safety screen, but young children do need to be supervised!
Firewood & kindling are stacked in cooler months & ready for use upon arrival!

All high quality bed linen, doonas & towels are included! Also for any additional guests!

The front deck embraces ocean & valley views & has 4m wide, 3m high bifold doors that open up from the cathedral like main living area!

The residence has a fairly rustic atmosphere as the 150-year-old cedar furniture has the inevitable patina of age!

The white-on-white colourscheme throughout creates a very impressive light-filled space for the many precious antiques!

Functional kitchen with a huge commercial gas oven/cooktop, double sink, loads of storage space & massive fridge/freezer! Also a selection of BBQs - huge new 6 burner BBQ (under shelter) & small Weber Baby Q! Fridge has no freezer compartment - reduces energy consumption!

Amazing mid1800 cedar & mahogany furniture throughout (chests, robes, bookcases, lounges)

Large flatscreen TV & quality hifi, with masses of DVD concerts or just plug your iPhone in for your own music!

The spa seen in the photos is out of action until the dedicated new deck area is completed up the back near the rainforest!

Two huge rainwater tanks & great water pressure!

The active solar system produces sufficient 240v power (if guests do not indiscriminately waste power)! There is a new $8,000 backup deisel generator & now with an automatic relay to support & boost the solar system during inclement weather!

3/4 size slate based pool/snooker table! In dedicated conservatory-like rustic shed & veranda with beer fridge & an awesome old style hifi system with JBL studio monitors! Can be made available on request (additional $1,000 bond), but usually for my use only! The use of needs to be organised prior to arrival!

For large groups, esp young professional couples, l make sure l am close by in the local area (usually my motorhome) for support, mainly re use of the deisel backup generator & battery charger!

l do meet guests on arrival, as this is my home & l would like to feel comfortable & make sure guest also feel comfortable!

DO NOT ask for one night stays or discounts as rates are already reduced!

Extra guests (2 max) are possible after consolation with myself! The house is very large & movement through it is not compromised, although privacy is, to a certain extent! $100/adult (12yo & over)/day! Still prefer that extra guest are immediate family members!

My home is NOT SUITABLE for young people who stay up all night partying! Be warned as you will be evicted without any refund!

This seriously secluded residence is FOR SALE! Only by consultation with owner though!
$2.9-3.2million (as @ 6/6/21)

Fantastic location and amazing views

This place was amazing and the host was incredibly helpful! The location is tucked away and offers such a great escape. The house is spacious and easily accommodates large groups. Only draw back is that the bathrooms were located in the two ensuites so may be difficult for groups of friends to use. Additionally, only one of the bedrooms has a door.

Pictures don't do it justice

Michael was very communicative in the lead up and during our stay. On arrival we were very pleasantly surprised by how large the place is. We walked, rode our bikes, took kids to Jambaroo, Berry, and Gerringong. Plenty to do there. Most enjoyable was sitting by fire and eating meals by the large windows looking down over foxgrounds. Michael takes great care of the property and it's guests.

Excellent Stay

Two families spent 3 nights at the property and we had a very good time. Great location and very nice and clean house with all the required facilities including the spacious lounge for kids to spend time together. We enjoyed the stay and thank Michael for looking after us well. A bit of consideration to be given to the locks and keys, will make the stay more complete (but still it gives you the outback experience though).

Long weekend getaway

We were made to feel very welcome. House is great that gives you the sense of isolation but it is only 20 minutes from Berry and other tourist spots. Also, the dog enjoyed it as much as us :)

Excellent holiday home

We had a fantastic time at this property with family, pets were allowed and was a huge bonus for us! Michael was attentive, helpful and flexible and a fantastic host who cares about providing best experience for guests. The house was very spacious, open plan, has lots of unique features and cosy areas to relax and chill out. Lot of bush walking around the place, farm animals within walking distance and plenty of outdoor area for kids to run around. Lot of beautiful beaches within 10 mints drive. We had a memorable X’mas at Michael’s property and thank you for hosting us! We will definitely visit again.

Bushland retreat

Set up high on the hill overlooking Foxground valley out towards the ocean. Foxground is private and peaceful set under tall euycalypts with kangaroos hopping occasionally by. The house has large welcoming spaces with a pleasant mix of old and new featuring high ceilings and some curated furnishings . foxground is truely off grid. Running on solar power and tank water though there is a backup generator and mobile reception. Beds are very comfortable lush manchester and host Michael is helpful and keen to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Good location avout 15 min to Gerringong or Berry. Foxgrounds is quirky lux and Worked very well for 2 families with kids sleeping in the elevated zone/ 3rd bedroom loft in main living area

Spacious and great location

A very spacious modern home with antique furniture and some quirky pieces. The very open plan may not suit everyone with the ‘master bedroom/space’ overlooking the kitchen. The 2 bathrooms are connected to the 2nd and 3rd bedroom. A bit tricky for 3 couples. We enjoyed our meals on the veranda, overlooking the view.
