This extraordinary waterfront property on Scotland Island offers more than just a home it's a lifestyle for those who appreciate beauty, originality, and the magic of Pittwater. Originally a Canadian white cedar ski lodge, relocated and adapted to its island setting, the residence exudes warmth and character. Handcrafted timbers, soaring spaces, and panoramic water views set the scene for a life of effortless charm, perfect for those who value something unique and a little alternative. The double fronted block is unusual for Scotland Island and affords numerous benefits including distance from neighbours and a floorplan that sweeps across the land, maximising views and space. A Home with Soul Spanning two levels, the house is designed to embrace both privacy and togetherness. The ground-floor parents' retreat is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with lounge area and walk-in robe. Upstairs, a self-contained guest suite with separate entry welcomes visiting friends or family with its own lounge, kitchenette, and sun-drenched deck. A third bedroom, equally generous, gazes out across the water. The main lounge, with its grand combustion fireplace, invites long winter evenings by the fire, while the country-style kitchen and dining space are made for convivial dinners with friends. Multiple decks frame sweeping views across Pittwater to Newport, ideal for long lunches or watching the ever-changing moods of Pittwater. Creative Corners & Restorative Spaces A separate office provides the perfect space to write, paint, or simply reflect, while a combined sauna and steam pavilion offers restorative calm after a swim or paddle. Below the home, an expansive workshop, storage area, and even a darkroom provide the kind of versatile spaces that creatives and tinkerers truly appreciate. A Garden Paradise Set on 1,250sqm of lush, established grounds, the property feels like a private tropical escape. Wander through sandstone-paved paths, tend to vegetables in the enclosed garden, or relax with a book in the dappled shade. Every turn of the garden tells its own story. The Boater's Dream At the water's edge lies a beautifully rustic boatshed with lounge area and loft-style bedroom the perfect studio, retreat, or guest escape.

The property also comes with a private mooring out the front, which compliments the deep water jetty ideal for enjoying the waterfront lifestyle of Pittwater in a unique and comprehensive way.
