Surburb overview

Broulee is a tiny beach town situated on the southern coast of NSW, sandwiched by Batemans Bay and Moruya. Yet what it lacks in land area, it makes up for in pristine beaches, remnants of old infrastructure, railways and wartime bunkers, and similar historical gems.

A popular destination among tourists and locals is Broulee Island, which is also a point of interest for surfers and adventure seekers. Tourists often find themselves hiking to a lookout where one can see a breathtaking view of Broulee beach and the alluring turquoise waters of Shark Bay. Surfers, meanwhile, wait for the perfect wave at Pink Rock and Dishwashers, where a reef break guarantees towering swells. Broulee is also a destination for avid fishermen, with the bay offering an abundance of catch.

Resurging commercial and residential real estate

Commerce in the area has simmered down in contrast to its heyday in the 1800s, although that is set to change once residential developments are completed. New applications for subdivision developments have been submitted to the local government for approval, while some developments are already underway. The local council is banking on such property investments to liven up Broulee’s economy, though Broulee’s rural charm itself is not stopping investors from purchasing real estate in the area.

The average median price for a Broulee residential property is about $500,000, while units are for sale at around $300,000. The sky’s the limit for prices, however, for home sellers and their respective buyers; the highest home price value listed online is $3.9 million.
