1097 Wooli Road Pillar Valley , 2462 NSW
A Coastal Retreat: Craftsmanship, Privacy and Protected Wilderness
Privately tucked away yet remarkably convenient, this extraordinary owner-built residence is a testament to true craftsmanship and individuality. Constructed in 1987 and inspired by European design principles, this is a home that simply cannot be replicated. Every detail reflects care, skill, and intention — a meaningful place where quality and character come first.
Australian and Western Red Cedar doors and windows, many crafted from timber sourced directly from the property, set the tone for the home’s warm and authentic feel. Exposed timber beams, double sandstone brick construction, and over 32 windows and doors create a light-filled interior that connects seamlessly with the surrounding landscape while providing excellent thermal performance year-round.
The home offers 3 bedrooms as well as a loft and 1.5 bathrooms, centered around a welcoming living space with a fireplace — perfect for cool evenings. A solid slate pool table is included, adding to the home’s unique charm and relaxed lifestyle appeal. Modern comforts have been thoughtfully integrated, including ducted air conditioning, solar power, a large garage, and an underground cellar.
Complementing the main residence is a substantial workshop and shed incorporating a self-contained living quarters. Complete with 3 phase power connection, this versatile space is ideal for guest accommodation, extended family, creative pursuits, or work-from-home use, further enhancing the property’s functionality and value.
Set well back from Wooli Road, the property enjoys complete privacy while remaining just 15 minutes from the pristine beaches of Wooli and Minne Waters with easy access to the Pacific Motorway. The total landholding spans approximately 190.6 hectares across three lots. The front 74.23 hectares accommodate the residence, workshop complex, and partially cleared land, with Pillar Valley Creek winding through the property. Known affectionately by the owners as the “Good Friday Watering Hole,” this freshwater stretch is a favourite spot for catching native bass.
The two rear lots, totaling approximately 116.22 hectares, are intersected by Black Snake Creek and are subject to a BioBanking Agreement. These areas are managed for biodiversity conservation and carry specific land-use obligations. The land encompasses exceptionally beautiful, pristine country, featuring intact rainforest, mature native vegetation, and a highly scenic natural landscape. This unspoilt environment supports significant ecological values and offers a rare expanse of protected wilderness.
This is not just a property — it is a rare offering of craftsmanship, privacy, and connection to the land, all within easy reach of the coast. Homes of this calibre, history, and individuality are seldom found.
