Immensely private on a magnificent tree-studded landholding, this picturesque acreage is truly a sanctuary to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life where you can allow yourself to completely unwind, yet the city, lake and beaches are little more than 20 minutes away. Originally a two-bedroom cottage on land that was once a chicken farm, the home has undergone an architectural renovation and extension wrapped in a wide verandah with northeasterly views of undulating greenery. If you love wide open space and a true sense of serenity, then you will find it here. Now featuring two separate living areas and four-bedroom, two-bathroom accommodation, this is truly a slice of heaven with enough room to run a small hobby farm or keep chickens or a horse or two. Offering over 122sqm of extra space, the separate studio/four-car garage features its own kitchenette and bathroom. Although it delivers a true sense of serenity, this property is positioned just 13km from Newcastle city centre and 7km from Warners Bay on the shores of Lake Macquarie.
