17 St Johns Drive

Team O'Doherty proudly present a rare waterfront opportunity positioned within one of the most tightly held pockets of Croudace Bay. Set along the peaceful waters of Sheppard's Creek and connected seamlessly to the open beauty of Lake Macquarie, this exceptional four-bedroom waterfront residence captures the essence of true lake living. For boating enthusiasts, the appeal is immediate. Launch the boat from your private slipway and cruise the sheltered waterways of Sheppard's Creek before opening out into the expansive sailing waters of Lake Macquarie. A short cruise along the water leads you toward the relaxed charm of the Old Valentine village atmosphere where lunch or sunset drinks await at the popular Valentine Bowling Club. Returning home is equally rewarding tying up at your own slipway before settling into the relaxed rhythm of waterfront living. Afternoons unfold beside the pool, while evenings bring friends and family together around the alfresco outdoor kitchen as the lake settles quietly into dusk. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the home connects generous internal living spaces with expansive outdoor entertaining areas, allowing the water views and lake breeze to become part of everyday life. Beyond the waterfront, the lifestyle continues. Morning walks and daily exercise routines naturally follow the lakeside pathways toward the open parklands and recreation areas of Croudace Bay Park, offering playgrounds, dog park spaces and family-friendly green open areas. Families will appreciate the convenience of being within comfortable walking distance to Valentine Public School (350m), while the nearby community facilities of Valentine Hydrotherapy Pool (210m) provide additional lifestyle amenity. Very few homes on Sheppard's Creek offer private slipways with direct access to Lake Macquarie, making opportunities like this tightly held and rarely available. This is more than a home. It's the complete Lake Macquarie lifestyle.
