The Waterside

The property boasts a main wing with two ground floor bedrooms and an upstairs parent’s retreat with balcony, large living area, a semi-commercial kitchen, library, guest powder room and climate controlled below ground 2,000 bottle wine cellar. The bedrooms are positioned to face perfectly north and far enough from the tree line for all of them to enjoy the morning sun all year round.

The upstairs parents retreat is reached via a striking hand-made blackbutt staircase and consists of two rooms, a master bedroom with handcrafted timber built-in robes and timber raised ceiling and ‘her’ ensuite also with handcrafted timber vanity. The second room, a parent’s lounge, has a raised ceiling with exposed rafters, a ‘his’ ensuite, mahogany handcrafted built in robe, drinks fridge, large wall mounted television and a daybed. Directly off the lounge is a large handcrafted walk-in robe and a study.

Both rooms are interconnected with genuine terracotta flooring that extends to the large balcony, which affords views over the gardens and estuary, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or to enjoy the expansive clear night sky.

The expansive primary living area features large windows that overlook the northern and eastern terraces, natural hardwood shelving, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, quality tiles, and a large brick fireplace with fan-forced, slow combustion burner and a mantlepiece made from original Coffs Jetty timber, the region’s first colonial structure (which the queen walked on during her coronation visit in the royal yacht in 1953).

The semi-commercial kitchen features a six-burner gas stovetop with two ovens, large air extracting hood, wall-mounted griller, galvanized shelving, stainless steel double sinks and bench, and a built-in pantry and upright fridge and freezer.

The guest wing features another master bedroom overlooking the estuary with ensuite and built-in robes, a lounge room with glass/timber doors leading to the garden and separate courtyard, both air conditioned and with ceiling fans. It has a kitchenette, two additional bedrooms with ceiling fans, main bathroom, laundry & access to the main kitchen.

The property has a rare title which gives ownership to the mean highwater mark. Because the banks are quite high, the owner is protected from people walking in front of the property and therefore has enhanced privacy.
