Betty Klimenko, the owner of the Erebus Motorsport team in the Supercars championship, has bought a NSW South Coast oceanfront weekender at Culburra Beach, costing $3.95m.
The two-level house, set on a 1016sq m east-facing parcel fronting Warrain Beach, sold through Joelene Paterson Property in conjunction with Sotheby’s International.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house ranks as the seventh-priciest sale in the town, 18km southeast of Nowra.

Its upper floor has an open-plan kitchen and dining area, which extends out to dual balconies that lead down to the ground-floor terrace and pool.
The lower level has a bar, living room and gym, plus bedrooms and a two-car garage.
Until now, it has been a “top-performing Airbnb”.
The property last sold for $956,500 in 2010, with a 2017 renovation costing $462,000.
Culburra Beach’s most expensive sale was a $5.85m four-bedroom, two-bathroom home on 809sq m overlooking Tilbury Cove on Penguins Head Rd, in 2021, which sold through Kellie Sprowles at Culburra First National.

After 74 sales in the past year, PropTrack put the median house price at $974,500 – up 1 per cent annually but still down on the $1,112,500 peak in mid-2022.
With Klimenko’s rookie driving team leading the Bathurst 1000 with just five laps remaining, Erebus finished fourth in last Sunday’s big race, having won in 2024.
“Heartbreaking, to be honest, but I’ve pretty much got over it this quickly,” driver Cooper Murray told Speedcafe in the Erebus garage on Sunday evening.

“Betty told me to get over it, toughen up, princess, and move on.”
Klimenko later told V8Sleuth that “people know what we’ve got”.
“We’ve cemented our place,” she said.
“So, from now on, Bathurst won’t be for us to win, it will be for the rest of the field to stop us.”
