Are you ready to escape the city's relentless rhythm and embrace a life of serenity and absolute privacy? Welcome to Cockburns Lane, where you can leave the world behind and enter your secluded oasis, all within a 20-minute drive from Newcastle CBD and its stunning beaches. Rarely does a grand-scale home like number 47 seamlessly combine family-friendly functionality with subtle luxury and resort-style entertaining. This 4.5-acre haven (1.69Ha) offers total privacy, captivating your senses and soothing your soul. A secure gated entry welcomes you, leading to a double lane circular driveway bordered by meticulously landscaped gardens. Beyond a grand porte-cochere, you'll discover the inviting warmth of this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home. An open-plan living and dining area, separate lounge room and huge paradise room are centred around a spacious gas-fitted kitchen. Enjoy family movie and games nights in the expansive media room, complete with a 120" screen and Runco projector. For intimate moments, slip away to the spa discreetly nestled in its own courtyard, just off the master bedroom. Outdoors, entertain on the poolside BBQ pavilion, jump into the three-tier swimming pool, or relax in the solar-heated spa. Watch the children play with rare abandon on the vast fenced paddock, the area large enough to accommodate a couple of ponies, ride quad bikes, or erect a marquee for epic social events. Car accommodation is appropriately extensive with room for up to four cars in the main residence, a separate double garage and carport, plus the circular driveway. 10kW of solar panels contribute to sustainable power generation complemented by a 10kv diesel backup generator in case of unforeseen outages. Additionally, the property boasts security cameras, C-bus home automation, and a substantial water storage capacity with four 35,000-litre rainwater tanks. Offering a rare and magnificent lifestyle opportunity, this grand estate boasts proximity to schools, shops, transport, Lake Macquarie and arterial roads into and out of the city. For medical professionals, its allure is undeniable, as John Hunter Hospital is a mere five-minute journey away. * This information has been prepared to assist solely in the marketing of this property.
