The days are cold, the nights are long but now is an opportunistic time to buy in beautiful Bundeena. Surrounded on three sides by the Royal National Park and bordered by the Port Hacking estuary, Bundeena is the only mainland suburb in Sydney that does not directly adjoin another suburb. Just over one hour south of the city, the sleepy coastal village is now firmly on the map. Back in January, we reported how house prices had soared by over 70% since the beginning of the pandemic fuelled by Sydneysiders seeking an escape and the growth in hybrid work arrangements.

Debbie Donnelley says, “The market in Bundeena has pulled back a bit and prices have come down to reasonable levels with some very realistic and highly motivated vendors presenting some great buying opportunities. We’re seeing an influx of professionals coming from the city looking for a healthier lifestyle and either commuting along the road through the national park or by ferry to Cronulla. Similarly, families looking for a holiday home come here because if they’re living in the east or inner west they can be here before sundown on Friday afternoon.”

Debbie has a fantastic spread of properties on the market from weekend getaways to family homes with water views that would cost over double in Cronulla that shares the same postcode.

One of the very best opportunities Debbie has seen in a long time is 6 Woodfield Avenue, Bundeena. Surrounded by greenery on a sprawling 923sqm approx landholding, the tastefully renovated property rests amid lush tropical gardens affording a treetop sanctuary feel with a family friendly layout complete with a separate cabana ideal as a home office studio. Debbie says, “This is a really beautiful escape that backs onto the Royal National Park and is an easy walk down to Horderns Beach. It’s perfect as a primary residence or weekender with nature all around and highly motivated vendors who are moving overseas. With a price guide of over $1.5m, this idyllic residence offers exceptional value for families as well as excellent returns as an Airbnb property.”

If you’re looking for the quintessential Aussie beach cottage, you can’t go past 25 Horderns Lane, Bundeena which sits right on Horderns Beach with unobstructed northerly water views as an inspiring backdrop. Step out of the garden of this retro classic right onto the pristine sands with the 793sqm title stretching to the high-water mark. Held for over half a century, this slice of paradise is the perfect getaway with so much potential too for those looking to make their mark.

The ideal lock-up-and-leave property, 5/96-98 Loftus Street, Bundeena is a contemporary three-bedroom beachside apartment in The Point Pavilions complex right in the village heart and just 200m to the ferry wharf. With a price guide of $1.1m, this is the ultimate in laidback coastal luxury with 120sqm of internal space, an enormous entertainer’s deck, ducted air conditioning, double garaging and the beach across the street.
