South Coast acreage formerly owned by Harry M. Miller returns to the market

A rural retreat on the NSW South Coast is for sale, featuring a helipad and a working farm.

The six-bedroom residence, located near Gerringong and Berry, was originally designed and built by the late publicist, promoter and media personality Harry M. Miller.

Elevated high above the landscape at 600 feet, the 20-hectare property at 98 Foxground Road, Foxground is known as 'Eagleview Park'.

The property, offering eye-catching views over Seven Mile Beach and to Pigeon House Mountain, is now for sale with a price guide of $9 million.

Cotality records show the home was previously sold in September 2021 for $8 million.

Records also show Miller, who utilised the property as a weekender, bought it in 1994 for $320,000 and sold it in 2005 for $2.625 million.

The main residence features five bedrooms, one being a private loft room, plus a detached self-contained one-bedroom studio, offering either a six-bedroom extension to the main house or a holiday letting opportunity.

The latest selling agent, Ray White Gerringong's Neil Campbell said there had been buyer interest from mainly Sydney-siders, including some who already had properties in the area, as well as international parties.

Current owner Craig Taylor, who lives in Manly with his partner and son, said they had initially sought a weekend escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

"We were drawn to the South Coast of NSW for its lush green countryside, rolling dairy hills, pristine ocean and dramatic escarpments," Mr Taylor said.

"Our key requirements were simple - within two hours of Sydney, close to the coast, private, and with breathtaking views."

Mr Taylor said he first heard about Eagleview Park from friends who had a holiday farm nearby.

"It ticked every box - a peaceful, 20-hectare hideaway perched high above the surrounding countryside with panoramic views over Seven Mile Beach and the Pacific Ocean," he said.

Mr Taylor purchased Eagleview Park from a local couple who had already recognised its potential as a luxury farm stay destination.

"They established the Eagleview Park brand, complete with a website and a booking portal," he said.

"The property quickly became a sought-after retreat, commanding over $2400 per night and attracting repeat guests year after year.

"We've continued to share it with guests whenever we are not using it ourselves."

Since taking ownership, Mr Taylor and his family have made significant improvements to the property.

This includes replacing all fencing, undertaking extensive land care, restoring pastures, upgrading roads, and adding the helicopter pad.

"A change in family circumstances now means we can't enjoy the property as often as before," Mr Taylor said.

"It feels the right time to pass Eagleview Park on to new custodians who will cherish and enjoy it as much as we have."

Each room is oriented to maximise the outlook, while the infinity-edge pool and firepit provide the ideal setting to take in sunsets over the steep slope.

There is also a separate, fully renovated, two-bedroom caretaker's cottage adjacent to the property entry.

Mr Taylor said the property was truly unique.

"Entry is through security gates leading along a rainforest-lined driveway, past timber-fenced paddocks, dams, rivers, and historic stone walls, before reaching the summit," he said.

"At 182 metres' elevation, the manicured grounds of the main residence resemble a private resort with uninterrupted coastal and escarpment views.

"The views are truly mind-blowing, and I think it would be fair to say are likely the best, most uninterrupted, dramatic and up close views from a rural property anywhere in the region."

Mr Campbell said wildlife thrives at the property, with echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, wild deer, and eagles having become regular visitors.

"The property also supports Highland cows in the paddocks and chickens in the coop, adding to the charm of the farm stay experience," Mr Campbell said.
