116 Surfside Drive, Catherine Hill Bay NSW 2281

Forget Sydney Big Smoke City Living and the over-crowded Central Coast, which is getting busier and more like Sydney every day and instead discover a fabulous coastal lifestyle, just an hour north of Hornsby, where you can have a new home for yourself and an amazing investment beside glorious beaches and pristine national park, just moments from the highway, there's no long exhausting drive in, or terrible traffic to cope with either.

Get back to nature, enjoy hiking and mountain biking along coastal trails just seconds from home, take kids and grandkids down to Sunday Nippers at wonderful, patrolled sand and surf at Catherine Hill Bay or slip down with the kids and puppies to Moonee or Ghosties Beaches for a fabulous swim and top surf too.

Boasting an unobstructed outlook to National Park, wake up to no neighbours and enjoy a scene of nothing but green from the master bedroom.

Purposely built to accommodate extra family living on the grounds, the main residence has been designed to accommodate a family, with a dedicated and fully council approved granny flat at the back for Mum/Grandma or that adult child who won't leave home or perhaps needs to stay at home.

The residence itself boasts all the essentials, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, ducted air and outdoor entertaining.

The granny flat has been heavily customised to include a much larger than standard bathroom, a genuine oversized laundry and a private rear entertaining courtyard, we've got the dishwasher ready to go into the kitchen too, but our owner's Mum didn't believe in dishwashers!

This kind son couldn't wait to get his Mum out of Sydney to enjoy her last days in a beautiful part of the world in a new home, he continued to work in Sydney, as the drive was scenic and a pretty easy commute, but now Mum has passed, he is ready to chase his other passion for a country life, full of hard work, but he and his puppies may well miss the coast and Catho's beautiful beaches.

If you need single level living for 2 generations, this is the bomb, Mum and Dad can live on the grounds with kids and grandkids for assistance and company when it suits them, but complete independence and separation when they need their space and privacy too.

Parents can help their kids get into the market in an area where their grandkids will have a lovely organic childhood in one of the prettiest parts of the NSW coast.

Parents can use the granny flat as a weekender until they're ready to move in full time, or alternatively, they can generate an income from a full-time permanent tenant or an Air BNB couple's retreat.

Investors can enjoy great rent returns with soaring rental prices, with tenants paying more to rent than purchase in many suburbs these days, massive rents combined with terrific depreciation make this a very attractive investment option.

Here you achieve 2 like new properties with 2 income potential, yet you only pay one lot of outgoings, like rates and land tax if applicable, the price of this home being similar to other residences in the estate, but with so much more rental income potential on offer.

Designed to be a family home with grandma on the grounds, the owner didn't skimp on the little things that make a difference, but he also didn't go so grand that you're too scared to let the properties either ….

You could rent them out for now and move here later on, in time you could even build up and take advantage of that beautiful National Park outlook.

The last home we sold here with an outlook to the National Park sold for $2,350,000 so you can be confident in the suburb and any future capital improvements you might like to make, but in the interim enjoy ….
