Never have you ever seen anything like this before in Swansea ...
A total game changer, this incredible home is so stand alone, it deserves its very own pedestal.
Located in God's country, moments to the water's edge, with a stunning public jetty, gorgeous grassy waterfront foreshore, boat moorings and dual boat ramp, all almost at your door.
Swansea is paradise found, a seaside and lakefront playground, for those fortunate enough to have discovered this little slice of heaven, just over an hour North of Hornsby, and half an South of Newcastle, with its vibrant beaches, cafes and restaurants scene, where the Hunter Valley and Central Coast are both within easy striking distance of home.
This is a lifestyle location beyond compare, where you can live like you are on holidays, 365 days of the year!
Skip the crowds and the traffic, and forget the over populated, over crowded, high rise horizons offered elsewhere in so many of our best, and most prized beachside suburbs.
Discover beaches, the likes of which you have never seen before, with majestic caves, national park, and seaside hamlets that dot our stunning coastline here in East Lake Macquarie.
Froth over our pristine white sand, our crystal clear aquamarine water,ways in what is the Southern Hemisphere's largest salt water lake, this is the stuff of tropical island getaways which you expect to have to travel overseas and interstate to enjoy.
Yet it's right here, and almost on your doorstep, in Seaside Swansea for your everyday, and every weekend, leisure and pleasure experience.
Fabulously family and retiree friendly, the flats of Swansea encourage you to get out and about, from bush walking to the water's edge at Galgabba Reserve, to kayaking around Pirrita Island, and strolling our boardwalk ,as you make your way around The Channel to the Lake or cycling up to enjoy a coffee or beer at any number of cosy cafes and well stocked watering holes.
For those after more active pursuits, enjoy surfing at any number of our brilliant beach breaks on offer, and mountain biking in our stunning national parks, or boating and fishing either inshore on a waterway more than 4 times the size of Sydney Harbour or offshore deep at sea.
Stand up paddle board, kite surf, water ski, wind surf and jet ski, or perhaps enjoy a round of golf on one of the prettiest courses ever created, overlooking Nine Miles of magnificent beachfront, or enjoy bowls on the same gorgeous greens.
For those more inclined to swim, and relax in the sun, there's any number of beautifully sheltered paradise like sandy spots to discover, just tell the people you like, as this is one of NSW's best kept secrets, and we only let the good guys in ...
Our local owners never considered building anywhere else, their amazing architect, also a local, understood everything there is to love about this place creating a home that would wow everyone, which his client friends would never outgrow, or grow too old to enjoy.
Their architect designed a home for them for the ages, a next level residence they would always cherish and never grow tired of, a home where his client's brilliant builder, and craftsman carpentry could be showcased and star, in an area just begging for a new kid on the block, blockbuster!
With a focus on environmental design principles and environmental context, their friend, Gavin Sanotti, worked away on the other side of the world as an architect specialising in sustainable, eco focused architecture of the highest level, imagining and designing this delicious residence, while living and working abroad in Europe.
Hence why there is nothing else like it around.
But it's more than just beautiful design at work here, there is an execution and labour of love, the likes of which you have never seen, and you are unlikely to ever see again.
A young carpenter builder, Simon was determined to almost single handedly build every element of he and his wife's dream home, from the breathtaking custom windows and doors, to the exquisite cabinetry and joinery, through to the spectacular exposed beams, and amazing light capturing, feature timber garage doors.
Lisa, a natural borne horticulturist, created a landscape gardener's and interior designer's dream, with inspired feature gardens starring inside and out, where even the most brown thumbed, plant killers couldn't undo her stunning creations, with automated irrigation systems, and perfect positioning of all her plants ensuring they would live.
Considering the man and woman hours poured into this showpiece home, and the love they had and have for it, it is almost unfathomable that these extremely talented owners could ever even consider leaving it.
With high end builders estimating it would cost $2,500,000 just to build, without even considering the costs of the land, how these owners can part with this beyond compare home is phenomenal, but they are individuals, who push themselves to extremes.
Having so thoroughly enjoyed their water based lifestyle, whenever their magnificent home wasn't beckoning them to add yet another lovely unique element, they and their young family have developed a true passion for life on the water.
A burning desire to travel and explore has infected them, and unlike the rest of us, they don't intend playing it safe and boring.
They don't want to caravan around Australia, or fly overseas, these individual extremists plan to travel the high seas, chasing adventures and dodging pirates, seeking safe harbour and exploring the world by catamaran, in their own waterfront floating hotel and you can bet that vessel will be truly something to behold and own after they have circumnavigated Oz and the world!
So for some very fortunate, forward thinking, lovers of inspirational architecture, and exquisite craftsmanship, there is an opportunity to buy, way below real value, a home in a lifestyle location mecca.
This is a home you expect to find in Sydney's and Newcastle's most affluent suburbs, but here it is surrounded by the very best nature has to offer, missing the overcrowding, over development, and pretentious people, so many of us long to live without ....
