24 Ross Smith Parade, Great Mackerel Beach NSW 2108

This inspiring residence located on the north east facing end of Great Mackerel Beach, consists of two lower living pavilions and an upper sleeping pavilion canter levered off the hillside. Perfectly positioned, and surrounded by the Ku-ring-gai National Park this magnificent home set over four levels enjoys an amazing, unsurpassed vista.
