Looking for a luxury escape that combines the best of coast and country?
Set on a rise in Bega’s beautiful Spanish Oaks Estate, 49 Wumbalwarra Drive is a grand entertainer built for bustling family life.
Local builder RENSEN Construction brought this four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence to life in 2024. The two-storey property showcases expert craftsmanship, set on 1.3 acres of lush pasture with uninterrupted valley views to Mumbulla Mountain.
Sales agent Candice Pocock from McGrath Merimbula was captivated by the outlook as soon as she arrived.
“You immediately get a sense of how much work went into this build,” she says.
“The home features extensive floor-to-ceiling windows, all double-glazed, to bring the outside in at every opportunity. You get to take in Bega’s rolling green fields and big open skies from every angle.
“The exterior takes inspiration from modern industrial design, with bold horizontal lines and dark metal cladding softened by timber accents. The attention to detail is second to none, and RENSEN Construction spared no expense on top-quality, durable materials throughout.”
Despite its grand proportions, the house feels elegant and warm indoors. Guests enter upstairs and are first drawn into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where Scandinavian-inspired design gives off a resort-like feel.

The kitchen features Carrara marble, Caesarstone surfaces, two pyrolytic ovens and a generous butler’s pantry.
Lounge and dining flow naturally out to a huge cantilevered terrace – the perfect outdoor entertainment destination. It measures 55 square metres and includes a fully integrated six-burner BBQ, sink, glass-fronted bar fridge, and custom full-width blackbutt bench.
A relaxed media room rounds out the upper-level living spaces.
Three upstairs bedrooms each have deck access to take in the incredible valley views. Two offer built-in storage and share a family bathroom with a freestanding tub. The parents’ suite features a custom-fitted walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite, complete with a twin vanity and oversized shower.
The fourth bedroom is downstairs and has its own bathroom, generous wardrobe and rumpus area for added versatility.
“The rest of the lower level is taken up by a massive 147 square-metre garage,” Candice says.
“Finished with an epoxy-coated floor and accommodating up to six vehicles, it incorporates extensive workshop and storage space. There’s more than enough room for your boat, caravan and other toys.
“The grounds are low-maintenance, with native landscaping on one side of the home and lush lawns on the other. There’s plenty of space to set up veggie gardens, a fire pit, pool or spa area – whatever your heart desires!”
Extra features include an as-new rainwater tank and an 8.8 kW solar system to keep electricity costs down.
Bega acts as the rural heart of the Sapphire Coast. Surrounded by rolling dairy pastures, the town has a rich farming history and offers easy access to pristine beaches. Food, art and love for the outdoors are all celebrated here.
This property’s current owners have loved living in the area, noting its family-friendly atmosphere and bustling town centre.
“Bega feels like an area with plenty of opportunity. People say hello in the street, and there are lots of young families, so it’s been easy to make friends and feel at home,” they say.
“We’ve loved discovering the quieter local spots, especially the beaches we visit year-round.
“We still pinch ourselves opening the curtains each morning. Having an afternoon barbecue while taking in the view is pretty hard to beat. The northerly sun is unreal in winter, and there’s always a sheltered spot to sit outside regardless of what the weather is doing.”
Bega’s shops, eateries, schools, hospital and famous cheese factory are just a quick car ride away from 49 Wumbulwarra Drive.
Candice says the home would best suit an avid entertainer, a multigenerational family or downsizers coming from larger acreage.
