Tarragal

Tarragal is a single-level Hamptons-inspired residence designed for families who want both generous space and genuine luxury. Set on 2.4 acres of beautifully maintained park-like grounds with a north-facing aspect, the home embraces natural light, sweeping rural vistas, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow throughout.

Grand open-plan living and dining areas, high ceilings, timber flooring, a fireplace, a designer kitchen with stone island and full butler's pantry, and four generously sized bedrooms sleeping 8 guests — all connected to an oversized covered alfresco terrace and the solar-heated freshwater pool beyond. Eight minutes to Terrigal Beach and the Esplanade. The car parks on arrival and the grounds take over.

What We Love

The Pool:
Tarragal's 15x4-metre solar-heated freshwater pool is open all year round — dual solar heat pumps mean the water is warm in every season, and the remote-controlled automatic pool cover makes it effortless to manage. What makes this pool genuinely different is the water chemistry: a "Naked Freshwater" system means low chemical content and a pure, natural swimming experience — specifically beneficial for guests with allergies, asthma, eczema, or psoriasis. For families with sensitive skin, this is a specific and significant detail. For everyone else, it simply means the most enjoyable pool you'll swim in all year.

The Grounds:
Two and a half acres of manicured, park-like lawns and beautifully landscaped gardens surround the home in every direction — a north-facing aspect floods the grounds with sun, sweeping rural vistas extend beyond the property boundaries, and the sense of space and privacy is complete. Children have the run of the lawns all day. Adults have the terrace, the pool deck, and enough room that everyone finds their spot and stays in it.

The Alfresco & Outdoor Living:
An oversized covered alfresco terrace connects the indoor living areas directly to the pool — perfect for long lunches, sunset drinks, poolside entertaining, and those long summer evenings when nobody wants to go inside. Beautifully landscaped gardens frame every outdoor view and give the property a resort quality that feels deliberate and considered.

The Kitchen & Butler's Pantry:
A designer stone kitchen with premium appliances and a fully equipped butler's pantry — the kind of setup that makes hosting eight feel genuinely easy. Whether it's a family breakfast before a pool session or a long group dinner before heading to Terrigal's Esplanade restaurants, this kitchen handles everything with room to spare.

The Fireplace & Living Areas:
Grand open-plan living and dining areas with high ceilings, timber flooring, and a fireplace anchoring the space. An additional formal lounge or media room provides a second living zone — perfect for movie nights, a quiet retreat, or giving the children their own space while the adults have the main living area. Single level throughout, making Tarragal effortlessly accessible for every member of the family.

The Location:
Tarragal sits in a quiet, leafy enclave of Terrigal — the kind of address that offers complete acreage privacy while placing guests within 8 minutes of one of NSW's most vibrant coastal towns. Terrigal Beach, the Esplanade dining strip, The Cowrie restaurant, the Boardwalk, and The Haven headland are all a short drive away. Erina Fair is 7 minutes for shopping and practical needs. Sydney is 90 minutes away — and feels considerably further the moment you step onto the property.

The Seasons:
Tarragal earns its keep in every season — but the year-round freshwater pool means there is never a wrong time to come. Summer is when the grounds and pool are at their most spectacular — long lawn days, alfresco dinners, and the children in the pool from breakfast until the last light fades. The July school holidays book fast and for good reason. Autumn brings the grounds into golden stillness and the fireplace into daily use.

Winter at Tarragal is underrated and genuinely compelling — the freshwater pool swimmable on clear winter days, the fireplace crackling through long evenings, and Terrigal's Esplanade at its warmest and least crowded just 8 minutes away. Spring brings the gardens back to colour and the pool season into full swing. Whatever the season brings your family — Tarragal is ready, all 2.4 acres of it.
