13 Koonwarra Close

Perched high above Oyster Harbour in the tightly held Kalgan Heights pocket of Lower King, this is a property that offers far more than just a home, it's a setting, a story, and a perspective that is increasingly hard to find. Set on an expansive 2,668sqm parcel, the home captures sweeping harbour views from its elevated position, with a natural bush backdrop creating a sense of privacy and connection to the landscape that defines this part of the coast. A pathway from the rear of the property leads you down toward the water's edge, reinforcing the lifestyle on offer here. Quiet, immersive and undeniably special. Originally built in 1988, the residence itself offers a flexible and functional layout, comprising three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living zones. The main living area opens out to the balcony, where the outlook becomes the focal point. Ever-changing light across the harbour, birdlife in constant motion, and a setting that invites you to slow down and take it all in. Beneath the home, a substantial games room provides additional space for entertaining, hobbies or a separate retreat, while practical infrastructure includes a carport at the upper level, a single garage under the home and a separate drive-through shed to the rear. What truly sets this property apart, however, is its story. Once the cherished holiday retreat of renowned Australian naturalist, photographer and author Michael Morcombe AM, the home reflects a life deeply connected to the natural world. Best known for The Field Guide to Australian Birds, Morcombe's work has shaped the way generations of Australians experience and understand native birdlife. It was here, overlooking Oyster Harbour, that he found a place to pause, observe and reconnect. On his first visit to the property, a pair of ospreys soared across the horizon before returning to their nearby nest, a moment that confirmed he had found something extraordinary. To this day, they continue to return each season, a quiet reminder of the environment that makes this location so unique. Now, following the passing of Michael and Irene in 2025, this much-loved retreat is ready to begin its next chapter. For those seeking more than just a home and for those drawn to space, outlook, and a genuine connection to the natural surroundings, this is an opportunity that rarely presents itself.
