663 Cliftonville Road

A rare offering of scale and serenity, this 80 acre sanctuary captures the true essence of Hawkesbury living - space, privacy, and a breathtaking natural outlook. Nestled on Sydney's north-western fringe between the Hawkesbury River and the Hills District, this significant landholding rises approximately 140 metres above the surrounding valley, offering an elevated, flood-free position with sweeping views across the landscape below. At the heart of the property sits a deceptively large brick residence that has been beautifully renovated to provide modern comfort and effortless family living. The home features four generous bedrooms, including a master suite with ensuite, and an additional retreat, home office or oversized fifth bedroom. The spacious kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar, perfectly connecting to the open-plan living zones. Reverse-cycle air conditioning and a new slow-combustion wood-burning heater ensure year-round comfort. For those who value storage or machinery space, the property's barn-style shed is truly exceptional - a quality-built 12.2m x 12.2m structure complete with a vast mezzanine level, ideal for car enthusiasts, trades, or recreational vehicles such as boats, Jet Skis or caravans. The mezzanine could easily adapt into a home office or additional storage. The sense of retreat here is remarkable. With abundant usable land surrounding the home, this is a property designed for entertaining family and friends, exploring by dirt bike or horseback, or simply unwinding in total seclusion. Boat access to the Hawkesbury River is less than one kilometre away, placing you at the gateway to one of New South Wales' most beautiful waterways. A significant investment has been made in solar harvesting and energy storage technology, allowing the home to operate entirely off-grid. The oversized system provides ample year-round energy, with a newly integrated diesel generator as a backup supply. The infrastructure has been designed with capacity for future expansion - and you'll never pay an electricity bill again. Zoned RU2 Rural Landscape, the property also presents potential to submit a Development Application for a second dwelling (STCA), making it ideal for multi-generational living or future flexibility. • Approx. 80-acre elevated holding • RU2 Rural Landscape zoning • Renovated brick family home • Four bedrooms plus retreat/home office (potential 5th) • Modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar • 12.2m x 12.2m barn-style shed with mezzanine • Reverse-cycle air conditioning & slow-combustion wood heater • Expansive valley views • Approx. 135,000L water storage • Advanced off-grid solar and battery system with diesel backup • Endless opportunities for recreation and rural living Large landholdings of this scale within reach of Sydney are increasingly scarce.
