‘Weemala’ is set for auction on Wednesday, December 13.

The country manor home sits on the escarpment with coastal views.

Selling agent, Neil Campbell of Ray White Gerringong said the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is set on 38 acres and expected the selling price to be more than $3.5 million.

The property last sold for $1.4 million in 1999.

“Since the current owners bought it... It just had the main ‘Weemala’ home on it when they bought it,” Mr Campbell said.

“It didn't have the pavilion they've put on there, or the studio. 

“The beauty of it is, it’s total privacy from the road and your neighbours, and then just a beautiful, open easterly aspect.

“It’s a beautiful piece of land.”

Built in the late 19th century, ‘Weemala’ was originally a working dairy farm.

Alterations and renovations have taken place over the intervening years. 

In keeping with the original 1890’s architecture, renovations have included a large living area, approximately 80sqm, added across the back of the original cottage.

Mr Campbell said this area is now the hub of the home and contains at one end a beautiful room that showcases uninterrupted views of the South Coast, and “make this room a wonderful summer room to relax and enjoy the ever-changing vista”.

“The winter of the living area encompasses the original old sandstone fireplace which would have formed part of the original kitchen,” he said. 

“Stepping out the home one is captivated by the view, the lush fields and the songs of the birds.

“If you were to take a walk around… You would encounter the bubbling creeks, dams with mirror surfaces that reflect the trees and the rainforest.”

Mr Campbell said another highlight was the two additional pavilions designed for separate accommodation for guests or alternatively studios for art; completely self-contained with kitchen and bathroom.

“Today it is hard to imagine ‘Weemala’ as a small dairy farm,” he said. 

“The hundred or so intervening years have been kind and it has grown and matured to become the truly beautiful country property it is today.

“The homestead is now large and very welcoming... flanked by a carpet of manicured lawns, with towering trees and banks of sweetly scented shrubs.”
