Accessible by boat only, this rustic river cottage offers a myriad of opportunities. Situated on the edge of the beautiful Patonga creek and only minutes boat ride from the mainland (approx. 3 min), this unique home offers:
•Private wharf and slip way with deep water channel
Lower level: Large sunroom/living area, double bedroom with free standing wardrobes, original eat-in kitchen, original bathroom (basic but functional), a large laundry with storage and external access to the side courtyard.
Mid level: For those who appreciate the “green” life, a few steps up from the bathroom is the rota-loo which functions perfectly – no smell, no water consumption and is easy to manage. It will also provide excellent compost for your garden. Large rain-water tanks provide the water supply to the property. These are all in good condition with recently renewed infrastructure and pump.
Upper Level: A large dormitory room (6m x 5.2), opening out to a little balcony with an amazing outlook. Potential to easily separate this area into individual bedrooms.
This block is extremely rare combining two separate lots into the one address. For this reason, the property is on an unusually large block with a generous frontage.
The property has been held by the same family for over 30 years and regretfully, they are now offering it up for sale and looking for someone enthusiastic to attend to the required maintenance and create their own fabulous memories.
There are a few more surprises that come with this home including boats, motors, additional pumps and a very rare “Sword fish” vessel with registered trailer (best google that for an explanation – if you can find it, it’s that rare!). The property also has rights to two car spaces in the caravan park on the mainland.
Location: Patonga is situated in the Brisbane Water National Park, approx. 60 minute’s drive from Sydney, 25 minute’s drive to the M1 and only 15 mins drive to the centre of Umina offering all essential shops, services and patrolled beaches.
Please Note: Due to the unique location of this property advanced notice is required for inspections and we ask that only genuine buyers request this service.
PS: I myself have recently built my own home in this location and can comprehensively inform you of the many pros, and few cons of creek living. I’d love the opportunity to share this information with you if you have the interest and time to come and visit us here in Patonga! Kylie
