Lakeside bliss, Wallagoot, NSW

Had enough of the crowds? Then this 6 acre estate on the shores of Wallagoot Lake on the NSW far south coast may be the one for you.

It's all about the position here, with bush and water views available from the main residence, a rustic home that has been renovated but is just waiting for a few tweaks and bit of styling to give it more of a lakeside retreat vibe.

There's also the addition of a structure known as the "boatshed" which sits down by the lake and could be perfect for a work from home space.
