Nestled in one of Sydney's most prestigious and sought-after coastal acreage pockets, this magnificent 5-acre estate sits atop a ridge with panoramic views at the front reaching as far as the ocean as well as expansive bushland vistas sweeping across adjoining national parkland at the rear. A readymade haven with future scope to further capitalise, it includes 3 acres of full-usable land with the potential for a pool, tennis court, equestrian facilities, par 3 golf hole, or helicopter landing area. There are DA approved plans in place for a brand new home - ask us for the plans. Nestled in a whisper-quiet cul-de-sac with the exclusive Elanora Country Club, the primary school and village shops just down the street, it is less than 10 minutes from a selection of beaches and 35 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Hidden behind native gardens on the high side of the street, the single-level country-style residence is simplistic yet highly functional in design with giant walls of glass and wide-covered verandas optimising the dreamy vistas from every possible angle. Focused around sweeping open floor entertaining and social zone that opens either side to the verandahs and terraces, it incorporates light-flooded family and meals areas plus a casual dining space with a near new island kitchen with a Bosch induction cooktop and integrated Bosch dishwasher serving as its centerpiece. Warmed by a crackling open fireplace, the formal living area embraces the views and opens to the front and rear terraces. The accommodation is housed on a separate wing and includes four large bedrooms with built-ins and ceiling fans, the main features an ensuite, and the main bathroom has been newly renovated in fresh contemporary themes. Step outside to covered verandahs on either side that extend to an open ocean-view terrace that picks up the sea breezes and an extensive rear terrace that captures extensive bushland vistas and dazzling big-sky sunsets. The grounds are landscaped with Australian natives and have been extensively modified to create a series of sprawling grassy paddocks irrigated by a large natural dam that cascades down to native bushland on the title and a fire trail. Additional features include a remote-controlled double lock-up garage with internal access, two car spaces, second access driveway to the paddocks, timber flooring and skylights.
