About this property
Waterfront Paradise - Tranquil Forest Hideaway with Stunning Harbour Views
Experience Serenity and Stunning Harbour Views
Nestled amongst native forest, this spacious retreat offers spectacular harbour views and a peaceful connection to nature. Enjoy the soothing sounds of birdsong and gentle waves lapping the shore. A private bushwalk from the house leads you to a secluded beach and excellent fishing spot.
The Space
Enjoy exclusive access to a beautifully designed two storey home featuring:
• 5 bedrooms: 2 king beds, 1 queen bed, a double/single bunk, and a single race car bed, offering varied mattress firmness for your comfort
• 2.5 bathrooms
• 2 living areas with decks and a patio to bask in the sunshine
The well-equipped kitchen includes a double oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, and all essentials like tea, coffee, Milo, and sugar. A full laundry with a washing machine, dryer, and clothes rack is also available. Easy off-street parking, and driveway security cameras for your peace of mind.
Outdoor Living
Relax or dine outdoors in multiple seating areas surrounded by lush greenery. Take an easy to moderate bushwalk down to the foreshore, where you’ll find:
• A scenic fishing spot (bring your rod!)
