IT’S peaceful, luxurious and there’s plenty of space.

Welcome to Billeroy — a sprawling acreage retreat nestled in the beautiful Tallebudgera Valley. Maree and Ted Bagnall swapped their beachfront home in Wonbarra, a seaside suburb of Wollongong, for a 3.64ha “piece of paradise” in 2002.

“When we retired this was our project and so we put our heart and soul into it,” Mrs Bagnall said.

“It was the best change and we have thoroughly loved living here.”

The pair had the home designed so there was a view from every room of the five-bedroom house.

“Each room you look out and see a paddock or a nice private garden,” she said. “You feel very connected to the whole property.”

The single-level house features an open-plan design with the interior living areas flowing out to the alfresco pavilion overlooking the pool. The property features 100m of creek frontage and plenty of visiting wildlife.

“We’ve got seven grandkids and when the come over they love playing on the gokarts or pushbikes up the driveway or swimming and fishing in the creek.

“It’s a lovely environment for kids.

“We also have a family of kangaroos that have been with us as long as we’ve been here and well over 150 birds,” she said.

And Mrs Bagnall said the starry nights were a standout feature.

“Sitting by the firepit and looking up at the stars, there’s no stree lights so the view is just unbelievable,” she said.

“It really is so beautiful.”
