For the first time since it was built in 2012, 127 Stafford Street, Gerroa has hit the market, offering a once-in-a-decade opportunity to own a piece of coastal perfection.
Defined by sun-drenched interiors, soaring ceilings, spacious proportions, a contemporary coastal aesthetic of natural materials and high-end finishes, and sweeping views over Seven Mile Beach, this stunning architect-designed residence is a rare find, according to First National Coast & Country’s Jason Stalgis.
“I would say only about a dozen properties change hands each year in Gerroa and probably only once a year, you get a home like this,” he says.
“Generally, the homes are 70s or 80s builds. This one is not only newer, but quality is a hallmark of the build, and owners generally find it hard to part with homes like this in Gerroa.
“This home would make a refined family residence or holiday home.”
Despite its unparalleled position on Black Head Point offering panoramic views across the bay to the national park, the design of the home itself is one of its greatest drawcards.
Instead of two levels divided by a full staircase, the home unfolds across four gentle tiers, inviting an effortless flow between living and entertaining zones.
On the second level, three airy bedrooms and a beautifully crafted bathroom create a peaceful haven, complete with a floating timber vanity, frameless glass shower and tiles that lend quiet texture and warmth.
Completing this level are multiple family and living areas, enhanced by striking feature lighting and effortless access to the private courtyard and landscaped backyard.
But it’s the upper level that truly steals the show.
Sweeping vistas – one of many drawcards to this stunning home.
The open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area captures panoramic ocean and headland vistas through full-height glass.
The kitchen is finished with stone benchtops, integrated appliances and a generous island bench, while a large walk-in pantry offers excellent storage and preparation space.
Above the dining area, designer pendant lights double as art pieces, complementing the rich blackbutt timber floors that carry warmth and continuity through the home.
This space in turn spills via massive sliding glass doors onto an expansive undercover entertainment area, which Jason says cleverly accounts for quirks of the local climate.
“It was built on the side of the home, shielded from the Northeast winds, which are prominent on the other side of the point in summer,” he says.
“It means you can sit there with a newspaper and take in the views, and there’s just a light breeze. A lot of thought has been put into that positioning to ensure maximised enjoyment.”
Whether you’re looking to sip Aperol spritzes by the pool, indulge in a long lunch with family and friends at the built-in barbecue, or enjoy your morning coffee with the sight, sound and smell of the ocean, this space has you covered.
The heated pool is the cherry on top.
“You can look over the infinity edge and it feels like you’re out in the bay,” Jason says. “It takes in some amazing sunsets with the backdrop of the mountain ranges in Berry and down to Crooked River.”
Thoughtfully tucked away on this floor is a peaceful workspace, study or creative retreat.
Set apart on the top level, the master suite is a private haven featuring a sumptuous ensuite, spacious walk-in robe, and a guest powder room close at hand.
This home is located in one of Gerroa’s most sought-after pockets, just moments from the beach, the Blue Swimmer Cafe, Headland Reserve and a large off-leash area.
“It really takes your breath away to look across and see the bay, the beach, the national park and Crooked River, and on occasions you will also see a pod of dolphins cruise through or even a whale breach,” Jason says.
“The river mouth is well protected, with calm waters and crystal-clear shallows, making it a favourite for young families. On one side of the point, you’ll find world-class surf breaks, while the other offers tranquil paddleboarding conditions. The area is also a hotspot for windsurfing — you can glide from one end of the bay to the other.”
