An entry level chance to be part of the lifestyle village of North Arm Cove, only five minutes off the Pacific Highway on the beautiful north shore of Port Stephens. Put a boat on a mooring and store your dinghy in front, drive a short distance to secluded surf and bay beaches or the magnificent Myall Lakes National Park, all while living a short commute to Newcastle or Maitland or to Newcastle Airport(soon to be International). Sydney CBD is only a two and a half hour drive away - but with NBN to the curb you can do it all by ZOOM anyway.
Located on an elevated block with sweeping water views over North Arm Cove this recently renovated cottage has two bedrooms, one bathroom and beautiful hardwood polished floorboards. The master bedroom and living area have panoramic views over the water and bushland beyond and the living area opens onto an extensive deck. The block has recently been professionally landscaped and features rockeries, lawns and grassy alcoves all with views to the water.
The cottage sits on 777.8 sqm of landscaped grounds. There is room for a large storage shed for all the toys required for a coastal lifestyle taking maximum pleasure from the abundant surrounding bushland, National Park, lakes, bays, rivers and ocean. Elevated and east facing the property benefits from cooling sea breezes in summer and protection from southerly and westerly winds.
For work, recreation and shopping the city centres of Newcastle and Maitland are only a fifty minute drive away with shopping malls, homemaker centres, major hospitals and all important services. Closer to home, Karuah, Tea Gardens and Medowie offer supermarket shopping, cafes, restaurants, medical centres, schools and community activities. Access to a wide choice of public and private schooling is provided by local buses linking to a wider network. There is currently a surge in demand for properties in this area as city people realise the lifestyle advantages of coastal/rural living and the opportunities of working from home. What about the opportunity to have this property as a holiday getaway and at other times run it as a B & B business? Not many properties come up for sale in this very small community, so this sale represents a rare opportunity to buy at an entry level price and live very comfortably and to perhaps later extend and develop to impose your individuality on the property.
The village area itself offers opportunities for all types of boating, fishing or water activities as well as cycling and walking through endless bush tracks with direct access at the rear of the property.
There is also a strong community life if desired, based around a community owned and managed community centre where you can join a Zumba or Pilates class, hold a barbecue or pizza night or just meet up with friends for a game of tennis or a coffee.
Sit back and relax on the deck to watch the sun rise early morning and finish your day by watching the moon rise over the water.
