South Coast

<p>There&#39;s no slowing down of the sea-changer trend across New South Wales, with Sydneysiders still looking south for holiday homes they&#39;re spending more time at.</p>

<p>The Sydney-based developer St Trinity Group have seen high demand for Ridgewaters Kiama,&nbsp;their $60 million residential community on the South Coast,&nbsp;around two hours&nbsp;south of Sydney.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=27858 project_image_fid=162071]</p>

<p>It&#39;s the size of the apartments on offer at Ridgewaters which has attracted a swell of buyers, says St Trinity Group Managing Director Nicholas El-Khoury.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Ridgewaters Kiama is the only development on the South Coast offering exclusively three-bedroom apartments, some with studies, designed specifically to cater to this unprecedented demand for flexible sea-change, owner-occupier residences accommodating a range of changing needs,&rdquo; El-Khoury said.</p>

<p>The apartments so far have been popular with downsizers and sea-changers, as well as industry professionals wanting to work remotely.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=27858 project_image_fid=162067]</p>

<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve received interest from a range of buyers &ndash; some of them coming from postcodes closer to Sydney&rsquo;s CBD as well some already from coastal areas like Sutherland Shire who want to remain by the sea, but for a lesser price tag,&quot; El-Khoury added.</p>

<p>&ldquo;All of them clearly recognise the value of seaside havens such as Kiama as offering both the convenience of being close to major metropolitan areas and facilities with the desirable lifestyle of smaller coastal communities.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Three-bedroom apartments start from $945,000 and all come with their own&nbsp;parking.</p>

It's the size of the apartments on offer at Ridgewaters which has attracted a swell of buyers, says St Trinity Group Managing Director Nicholas El-Khoury.

<p>The gardening guru television host Brendan Moar has listed in Camperdown.</p>
<p>The home (pictured above) is a fusion of futuristic modernist styles, according to the marketing by the BresicWhitney Glebe agents Chris Nunn and Nick Playfair.</p>
<p>They describe the home as a one-off poolside entertainer.</p>
<p>Spanning three levels, the four bedroom home is an eclectic mix of tastes.</p>
<p>It has custom-designed hidden cabinetry and a spiral staircase with lightwell. The swimming pool in the courtyard wraps around the kitchen and dining area. </p>
<p>A top floor master retreat comes with its own roof garden.</p>
<p>Moar paid $1,265,000 in 2009 for the home that is scheduled for June 2 auction with a guide of $2.5 million.</p>
<p>The garden recently featured on <em>The Living Room.</em></p>
<p>Moar has been busy working on property projects on the South Coast.</p>
<p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/5/32ca8ec89300499a8b727eff0afff831.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>He's just finished a Lake Tabourie project, while recently securing Pelican Brief, a waterfront home on Burrill Lake (pictured above), which seems set to be his next endeavour.</p>
<p>The progress of the Lake Tabourie home (pictured below) was well documented on Moar's Instagram, with the latest posts telling followers the home is now on the regular holiday letting channels.</p>
<p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/5/9e2e5bf27e214443941bdd244db690ea.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>It is being advertised as a designer retro beach shack, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms capable of sleeping six guests with a floor mattress.</p>
<p>It says it captures the spirit and fun of classic Australian beach house life.</p>
<p>Moar was obviously in control of the garden.</p>
<p>The landscape architect, who has appeared on a number of TV shows as the top gardener, completed the garden part of the project late last year.</p>
<p>"Hammock = icing on the cake," he posted on Instagram alongside the hammock and lake view from the verandah.</p>
<p>"Lakeside garden complete. Will be up on Stayz soon if you're interested in holiday renting this south coast slice of goodness...," he added.</p>
<p>Moar is the gardening editor for <em>Inside Out</em> magazine and released his first book, Grounded, in 2005 as a companion to the <em>Moar Gardening</em> television series.</p>
<p>He has twice been voted favourite male subscription television presenter at the ASTRA Awards having appeared on shows including Foxtel's <em>Dry Spell Gardening, By Design.</em></p>

<p>More than $10 million is tipped for the vacant 40-hectare land parcel which last sold for a then Gerringong record $7 million in 2012.</p>
<p>No work has been undertaken at the cattle grazing property although lengthy legal proceedings secured its prized development approval.</p>
