Weird name, but yes it is, and it leads to a magic peninsula.
Although you wouldn’t easily know it, hidden away by the soon to be relocated Pacific Highway, is a unique property. The flurry & bustle of the highway and even that cute little historic cement Harbour Bridge everyone notices, camouflage this treasure, awaiting some lucky new homeowner of 3+ waterfront acres of prime alluvial land.
Current owner Brian doesn’t want to go! “Once that highway’s shifted over a kilometre or two away, I wouldn’t sell for less than a $million”, he protests. Problem is, he can’t wait the year or so until that happens and so, this magnificent property is currently ‘For Sale’ at a giveaway price.
Approach by a private road through a canopy of trees onto a circular drive, then to a double garage. Look around at the surrounding huge white gums, the landscaped gardens and freshly mown lawns.
Discover next, placed high out of flood reach on an elevated base, stands a large, solidly built, freshly painted 4 bedroom brick home, featuring 2 bathrooms, spa-bath, study and full length, enclosed veranda, draped in grapevines.
Your new kitchen has solid jarrah cupboards, twin ovens, microwave, plenty of storage and BIG everything. The dining room and huge formal lounge with slate floors are large enough for a billiard table. The main bedroom, walk in robe and ensuite look out over the paddocks awaiting the breaking sunrise.
Outside, the pasture is a lush, rich, dark green; the stables will accommodate 3 horses. There’s a chook yard, a cattery connects to the house and the aviaries wait restocking. An antique winch stands ready to recover your boat from your own slipway, plus a private sheltered wharf, hidden in your protected, deep-water channel, named Shark Creek.
‘The Creek’ meets and empties into the mighty Clarence River at the most northerly point of the property, where the flathead gather to feed and the water sports are great. Dolphins play, fish bite and the ‘muddies’ are abundant in this protected little piece of paradise.
Best of all, it’s all part of a rare and sought after Isthmus! Want to own? Make it your own!
