Cute & Cosy Seclusion ~ The Last Retreat
UNIQUE & HAND BUILT CHARM AWAITS!!!
A freehold, 2 bed-roomed, authentic fisherman’s Cottage set on a level 751 sq bush block in conservation zone. Total privacy, clothes optional!
Sunrise on Macleay.
With a Westerly aspect, the Last Retreat backs onto the Bay out to the private Garden Island, private bush path to waters edge for checking on those muddy pots. Surrounded by beautiful trees and bushland, there are no neighbours and this area can never be built out. The only property down a lane and set next to the famous Tim O’Shea’s water hole – the only fresh water supply on the Island and habitat to rare birds, flora fauna. All you will hear is the haunting call of the local Curlews!

The Cottage would ideally suit a writer who needs peace & quiet to complete their great tome. Satellite TV and broadband at the ready. Very secluded spot, yet only 2 mins to nearest shop by car. The Cottage caters for 1-3 people and is very compact in a charming way. The addition of some larger verandas would enhance outdoor living space if wanted. The gardens are kept to lawns and native areas.

The view from Potts Point.
Features include a large open brick fireplace complete with cooking plate & fish hooks set into the upper breast for smoking your days catch. The Cottage is fully screened with new full security features, not that you need it here… Freshly painted in a delicate rose hue with khaki & white accents in Solar Guard externally, the Cottage has been sympathetically renovated to most areas and has new vintage style cushioned vinyl throughout. Newly installed antique french doors to every room complete the feel of this unique property. Fully fenced to 6′ around half the gardens, the rest is dog proofed to keep Fido in. Just had a full termite barrier renewed and certified inspection.

Google Earth 90, Charles Terrace, Macleay Island to see exact location
although it’s tucked away from Big Brother!
There is an old lean-to shed which houses the laundry and a small lockable “hot house” for the dope plants…but living at The Last Retreat will bliss you out anyway, so no need to take the risks! 
Front yard, new fencing. Back yard has a double gate for drive-thru ease
with the boat & trailer you will be craving in no time…

Again it is stressed this is a cash only sale – the Cottage is pre-Council & zoned Conservation area (DP) as are many blocks on the Island (no Bank loans obtainable) although all utilities are fully approved, such as mains power connection, phone line, septic system, grey water etc. The block is sandy, very fast draining and suffers NO tidal flooding despite being zoned in a supposed DP area! The Cottage could be removed & a new home built on part of the site, but it must not exceed original floor plan space, but could easilly be a designer double or triple story home with fantastic Island & water views. Where else will you get this kind of privacy & lifestyle without spending a fortune for a water side block?
