RURAL RIVERSIDE RETREAT
The dream property does exist ! This exceptional rural lifestyle residence delivers refinement, scale and position in a truly special location. Privately set yet not isolated, a picturesque country road leads to this boutique acreage retreat, offering an enviable blend of prestige living and peaceful rural surrounds in one of the Forster/Tuncurry region’s most tightly held locations.
Set across approximately 1.7 hectares of cleared, fertile land, the property combines established landscaping and pasture-improved paddocks ideal for those seeking a genuine rural lifestyle. Whether your interests extend to horses, livestock or simply enjoying space for the family to roam, the acreage provides a wonderful balance of usable land and refined residential living.
The property immediately impresses with its sense of space, privacy and timeless appeal. Meticulously designed and master-built over two levels, the home features striking sandstone brick construction on the ground floor, complemented by classic weatherboard cladding above. A wide, covered, full-length front verandah stretches across the facade, perfectly positioned to take in the serene rural outlook and picturesque acreage surrounds.
Inside, the home is drenched in natural light, enhanced by high ceilings and full-height, wall-length windows that draw the outdoors in. The free-flowing floorplan offers both formal and informal living zones, along with a spacious family dining area designed for relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, showcasing French Provincial-style handcrafted timber and glass-fronted cabinetry, sweeping marble benchtops, gas cooking, quality appliances, rangehood, dishwasher and a generous walk-in pantry.
The upper level accommodates four large bedrooms, each enjoying direct access to the panoramic verandah through beautiful stained timber French doors. The expansive master suite is a true retreat, complete with its own private sitting area and a stunning ensuite, creating a luxurious sanctuary for parents.
Downstairs offers remarkable versatility, comprising a large home office and two fully self-contained living quarters, each with its own kitchenette, bathroom and living area, a true master-built residence of rare flexibility and quality.
Beyond the home, the acreage lends itself beautifully to equestrian interests and country pursuits, with pasture-improved paddocks providing productive grazing areas and the opportunity to embrace the increasingly sought-after rural lifestyle — from keeping horses and a house cow to simply enjoying the freedom, space and tranquillity that acreage living provides.
Completing the lifestyle offering, the river’s edge is just metres away and is commonly used for wakeboarding, water skiing and fishing, with the waterway navigating directly through to Forster’s renowned Aqua Lakes. It is a rare combination: productive acreage, equestrian and hobby-farming potential, and immediate access to the water.
Adding further appeal, the property can be sold partially furnished, allowing the next owner to move straight in and immediately enjoy this remarkable rural and waterfront-adjacent lifestyle.
