32 Factory Lane

For nearly a century, 32 Factory Lane has stood as the "beating heart" of the Jamberoo Valley. Once the literal Engine Room that powered the legendary Jamberoo Milk Factory, (the Wauchope Factory) this architectural masterpiece has been meticulously transformed from an industrial powerhouse into a world-class lifestyle estate. Now, for the first time, the vision for this property could shift from "private residence" to premier hospitality opportunity or a destination Airbnb opportunity. The Heritage: Constructed in 1928, the building retains its soaring industrial proportions and "industrial spirit." The original engine room's scale-with 4-metre ceilings and crisp, porcelain-finish interiors-provides a gallery-like atmosphere that is impossible to replicate in modern builds. The Opportunity: Situated on nearly an acre of manicured "Le Jardin" French-inspired gardens, the property is potentially a ready-made canvas for a bespoke hospitality venture: (subject to council permission) Boutique Airbnb Guesthouse: Existing floorplans feature private wings and ensuite-heavy accommodation. Elite Event Space: Perfect for high-end weddings, corporate retreats, or "long table" culinary experiences. Home Away From Home: Or your very own getaway from the hustle & bustle of the city The Features: 3,258 m² (approx) of parterre gardens featuring London Plane trees and the historic steam boiler. Sustainable Infrastructure: State-of-the-art 2023 upgrades including 26kW solar power and Tesla EV charging. Prime Location: 3 minutes to the heart of Jamberoo's village, 10 minutes to Kiama's beaches, and 90 minutes from Sydney. The 1928 Legacy: It was the era of the "Golden Age" of dairy, the successful purchaser will be not just purchasing kitchens and bedrooms but an Engine room/Powerhouse that once powered the valley's entire economy. An Architectural Rarity Because of its vital role, the Powerhouse was built with a scale and strength rarely seen in residential architecture. The 4-metre soaring ceilings and expansive internal voids were designed to manage the heat and energy of the 1920s steam era. Today, those same proportions provide a gallery-like atmosphere, offering an sense of volume and "industrial chic" that modern builds cannot replicate AUCTION: MUST BE SOLD After months of anticipation, the instructions are clear: The Powerhouse must be sold. This is a rare chance to secure a landmark piece of the South Coast's history at a market-driven price. Opportunities of this pedigree-with the infrastructure already in place for a commercial transition-do not wait for the hesitant. Inspection is Essential. The Gavel Falls Soon.
