4 Bedroom House in Bingie
Experience Australia's most unique beach house and revel in iconic architecture.
Fantastic for couples or multiple families you can share the secluded 100 acres with the roos and wallabies, right on the edge of the Eurobodalla National Park.
Magney house is located on the pristine South Coast of NSW, 20 minutes drive south of the town of Moruya.
The house was designed with camping in mind and has a casual, relaxed feel for informal open-plan living. The simple kitchen and bathroom facilities provide the necessities for comfort while you disconnect from life's distractions. Wifi is available. The layout means that is comfortable for a couple or up to 10 guests. There is plenty of communal space to gather with family and friends, as well as sanctuaries for quiet contemplation, reading a book or having a snooze. Every window has breath-taking views of local beaches, farms or distant mountains.
Completed in 1984 Magney house is Glenn Murcutt's most famous building. Glenn Murcutt AO is recognised in Australia and overseas as our most famous architect. In 2002 he won the distinguished Pritzker Prize for architecture.
The house is located on the lower north facing slope of the 100-acre property and the design takes full advantage of the north sunlight for winter warmth, the summer breezes for cooling and provides protection from the stronger southerly weather. The roofline reflects the quintessentially Australian woodshed and is practical, catching rainwater for the tank that supplies the house.
In 2016 the house was featured in Catherine Hunter's documentary on Glenn Murcutt, Spirit of Place, and in Tim Ross's documentary series Streets of your town. In 2009 the house appeared on an Australian postage stamp.
The Magney family continue to own and run the house and land. All profits are returned to the house for maintenance and restoration, and for upkeep of the property.
The house is comprised of the east and west wing, connected via a central covered courtyard with a dining table and gas BBQ for alfresco dining.
The eastern wing contains a kitchen, master bedroom, private study and bathroom. The kitchen as an electric oven, gas cooktop, microwave oven and fridge. There is a gas fireplace, leather lounges, TV, as well as a dining table and chairs for 8.
The western side has 2 queen bedrooms and the bunk room, separate shower, toilet and vanity. There is a kitchen with induction hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge. The western living area has another 8 seat dining setting, comfortable cane lounges, and TV. The bunk room (sleeps 4 in two bunks). It has a comfy couch and table tennis. A great get-away for the kids.
Up until the 1980's the 100-acre property was used for cattle grazing and farming. Since then the family has let the land regenerate to the native coastal habit. Typically there is a large population of eastern grey kangaroos on the land. Most mornings you will wake to find them grazing on the front lawn.
In the late afternoon take a walk up the fire trail on the hill behind the house to get magnificent views from Pigeon House mountain (north) to Gulaga/Mount Dromedary and Montague Island (south), and the Araluen ranges (west) as the sun sets.
The property is surrounded by the Eurobodalla National Park on three sides. The park has many diverse habitats and lots of wildlife - swamp wallaby, Bennett's wallaby, echidna, white-bellied sea eagles. The 13.5 km Bingie Dreaming walking track (from Congo to Tuross) runs through the National Park and is easily accessible from the house.
