Last Listing description (January 2024)

If youre looking for a totally private, peaceful and comfortable weekender immersed in nature then look no further, you wont find better than this!

Situated in a lush hidden oasis adjoining the Watagan State Forest, this 2.2ha (5.4 acre) acreage is the ideal escape from city life. As soon as you step out of the car, youre greeted by the sound of prolific bird life, especially bellbirds, and the sound of flowing water nearby. The property is bordered by Watagan Creek, a pristine permanent water source providing a semi-rainforest ecosystem where wildlife thrives, including platypus, wombats and wallabies.

Entering the property along a private driveway, the timber house appears with around an acre of clear land surrounding it. Sitting proudly in an elevated north facing position, the house is like something from a storybook, fitting into the environment perfectly with a log cabin style, full of charm.

Stepping inside the house, you will appreciate the rustic character of timber throughout, the high raked ceiling and stunning views of the untouched bush surrounds out every window. Full-length timber bifold stacker doors open onto a huge deck where you can look down to Watagan Creek. The deck is where you can imagine spending most of your time soaking up the sunshine, fresh air and enjoying the relaxing sound of birds and flowing water.

The living room adjoins the deck with a seamless indoor/outdoor flow perfect for all seasons. The house is well catered with a timber kitchen featuring a gas cooktop and electric oven. A slow combustion fireplace will keep you cosy in winter while reverse cycle air-conditioning keeps you cool in the summer. Upstairs is a large bedroom with timber windows letting plenty of light in. A tiled bathroom is downstairs, and a separate internal laundry completes the picture.

Having everything required for permanent living, the property could be a great weekender or permanent lifestyle change. Mains power, satellite internet and a landline phone mean you have access to all the modern conveniences. Five water storage tanks provide fresh rainwater to the house, while the permanent creek is also a great source of water.

To be found less than an hour and a half drive (116km) from Hornsby and 20 minutes drive (19km) to the Laguna Trading Post where you will find a great caf, bar, providore and gift shop, the property is far enough to get total peace and privacy while also being close enough to enjoy the country community of the Wollombi Valley.
