Leawarra was the remaining 160 acres out of an original 200 acres project that spanned both east and west of the railway line near Gerringong in NSW South Coast. 

The house site is positioned to take advantage of the golden strip of sand running between headland and lagoon. 

The house plans take advantage of the view, while respecting the climate with it's extreme winds and heat and cold. 

The land continues to be used for agricultural purposes - an important consideration for zoning and heritage purposes. The land has been farmed continuously since the 1850's by a few of the original farming families of Gerrinong. 

The lagoon is a saline semi-tidal stretch of water that runs for apron 2km inside the property. 

It is visually stunning and full of wildlife and fish. Drainage is always an issue as is respecting any legal environmental issues that come with riparian corridors. 

You can see Renfrew Park House in the distance. Also a part of this project. 

Figs are hallmark of the area. Providing shade for cattle and a stunning picnic spot for visitors. 

This is a popular body board spot for locals and a nice area to explore when doing the Kiama to Gerringong walk. It is also the subject of the view from the proposed house site.

Note the rock shelves that run up and down the coast. A haven for fish.
