Hidden behind its gates on an extraordinary holding of more than 1700 sqm, 47A Cedar Ridge Road, Kiama pairs architectural refinement with a lifestyle built around space and connection.
Underpinning its rarity is the combination of traits that are often mutually exclusive, according to Ray White Kiama real estate agent Michele Lay.
“It’s not often you come across a property that’s on such a large block, right in the middle of Kiama and yet so supremely private,” she says.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home was built by Master Builder of the Year 2025, the renowned Lime Building Group, on a north-easterly parcel that captures all-day sunshine, sea breezes and the serenity of Kiama’s rural fringe.
An extra-wide welcoming hallway sets the tone for a contemporary Australian aesthetic, characterised by soaring vaulted ceilings with recycled rough-sawn Oregon feature beams, feature skylights, oak and natural oak-veneer timber wall features, oversized brushed oak flooring from Woodcut, natural limestone, a vast use of glass and stunning Artedomus Elba, natural stone and handmade Spanish wall tiles.
“Its glamour is innate and unpretentious,” Michele says. “It comes from a paired-back elegance, rather than glitz.”
The home was designed as a backdrop for diverse experiences, underpinned by an eco-conscious philosophy.
“I think one of the major drawcards is the opportunity it presents to live a more sustainable lifestyle,” Michele says.
Eco-friendly inclusions include a hydronic wood-fire system providing floor, water and radiator heating, a 13 kW solar power system, solar hot water and the use of sustainable materials selected for efficiency and longevity.
The landscaping was designed to live as beautifully outdoors as indoors, with more than 50 tonnes of curated sandstone, established vegetable beds, fruit trees and exotic specimen trees and a chicken pen.
“You can collect your own free-range eggs or harvest fruit and vegetables from the garden,” Michele says.
Long lunches can end with friends gathered around the fire pit at twilight.
Entertaining spaces include a polished-concrete BBQ terrace with built-in sandstone seating, a sunken firepit and the family favourite: a solar-heated pool with a 35 kW electric heat pump.
“I can see summer Aperol spritzes by the pool and long lunches that end with friends gathered around the fire pit at twilight,” Michele says.
“The current owners have had celebrations with over 150 guests, but there are also corners for relaxation.
“It’s a home made for creating memories.”
Inside, a flexible floorplan includes a self-contained studio with private entrance, bathroom and kitchenette – perfect for extended family, independent teenagers, guests or as a creative studio.
There is also a dedicated home office with separate side access, ideal for work-from-home productivity without disrupting family life.
Showcasing Lime Building Group’s celebrated craftsmanship and timeless design, the home offers a rumpus room/media space, a formal lounge area with a cosy fireplace and a hidden TV cavity and an oversized parents’ retreat featuring a boutique-style dressing room, an indulgent ensuite and its own sitting area.
The designer kitchen has stone benchtops, a butler’s pantry, integrated fridges, and the same Brodware Weather solid brass tapware featured throughout the home.
“The layout is such that you could live in it as a single-level home and accommodate multigenerational living, as a guest house or even as another income stream,” Michele says. “Regardless, there is ample space for the family to spread out when they want privacy and respite, but also to come together whenever they want.”
Other useful features include an extra-large laundry, a four-car garage, controls for the music system and security cameras, ducted air-conditioning throughout and a handy outdoor hot and cold shower.
