CoreLogic records show the home previously sold in 1994 for $310,000.

The home's current owner is Stewart Ramsay, vice-president of Kiama Golf Club.

"You're overlooking the second green and the fairway," he said of the property.

"If you sit out the back of our place, you basically just watch the golfers walking down the second and back up the third.

"That's where the street name came from, it was golfers parading in front of the houses basically.

"We're on the northern side, so we back onto the course, but are just elevated."

Mr Ramsay said favourite features of the home included the north-facing backyard with plenty of sun, and the home's views of the water and the escarpment.

"You don't feel like you've got neighbours, because you're just looking out over the golf course and the river," he said.

Mr Ramsay said they were selling the home in order to downsize.

"We fell in love with it when we saw it," he said.

"We've done a little work, but it's really ready for someone else to come in and upgrade it again.

"It's not a cookie-cutter home. It's got huge bedrooms and ensuites. It's a home that needs a family that comes in and appreciates it like we do."

Mr Ramsay said the ideal next owner would likely be a keen golfer.

"We walk to the golf course, it's only 200 metres to the club," he said. "If you like golf, it's perfect positioning."

The home's under-house storage has been constructed from solid concrete and brick, offering workshop potential and plenty of storage space.

The home is also a walk to beaches, Minnamurra River and shops.

The home is due to be auctioned on November 23.

Selling agent, Scott Douglas from Raine and Horne Kiama said the home had a guide in the high $1 million range.

"Buyers just love the spot - just standing on the back deck, looking across the golf course, listening to the birds only," he said.

"It's so private, and a golfer's paradise."

According to CoreLogic, currently the median sales price of houses in Kiama Downs is $1,297,500.

Meanwhile, the sale of a Kiama Downs home recently smashed the previous benchmark for the suburb, following a new record being set at Mount Kembla.
