Perched high on the Jamberoo range, on 28.55 hectares of beautiful countryside and surrounded by native bushland, rainforest and abundant wildlife, 946 Jamberoo Mountain Road, Jamberoo is an architectural off-grid retreat that unleashes the raw drama of a private rainforest.
“This is a place for people looking for a remote retreat to escape to, with all the comforts of modern living,” First National Coast & Country Kiama’s Abbey Murphy says.
Built with a steel frame and Colorbond roof, the residence, completed in October 2025, was built for longevity, practicality and energy-efficient living.
Thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of its natural surroundings, breathtaking views pour into almost every room.
“The views stretch across Jamberoo, Mystics Beach, Minnamurra River and all the way over to Rangoon Island,” Abbey says.
The heart of the home is the light-filled open plan living, dining and kitchen area, where panoramic views can be enjoyed through floor-to-ceiling windows.
This space is anchored by a stylish kitchen, fitted with brand new Bosch appliances, engineered stone benchtops, generous storage and a large island bench.
Polished concrete flooring with underfloor heating runs throughout the home. A feature gas fireplace sits between the living and dining areas — the perfect spot to curl up with your beverage and/or person of choice.
This spills onto a major drawcard — the expansive rear terrace, stretching the length of the residence.
“The bedrooms all open out to this space, so it’s a great spot to watch the sunrise,” Abbey says. “It’s also fantastic for entertaining, with a grassed area if you and your guests want to spill out even more.”
The cedar wood tub beckons you for a soak.
The accommodation is split into distinct wings of comfort. Parents will love the secluded master suite — a private sanctuary boasting a walk-through wardrobe and a sleek ensuite.
Two additional bedrooms, both fitted with generous built-in robes, share a showstopping main bathroom. Here, relaxation is taken seriously, underscored by a deep cedar timber bathtub, a bespoke timber vanity and a raw stone basin.
A stylish, separate powder room ensures effortless convenience when hosting guests.
Built fully off-grid and built with input from Green Homes Group, other useful features of this residence include a spacious double garage with polished concrete flooring and internal access, a gravel turning circle driveway, satellite internet, a solar power system and about 110,000 litres of water storage.
Beyond the walls, a truly special environment awaits exploration.
The home is built on the two acres of land that’s cleared, but surrounding this is a private rainforest, complete with a natural creek and waterfall at the edge of the property.
All set to the natural symphony of the surrounding bushland, the estate feels like your own private kingdom in the canopy.
Yet, for all its hidden-sanctuary magic, the pristine beaches of the South Coast and the vibrant heart of Kiama are just a 30-minute drive down the mountain.
