68 Kingfisher Circuit

When it comes to freestanding 3 bedroom cottages in Rafferty's, they are a rarity, and when it comes to an arboretum outlook, they get even more hard to come by, so consider yourself very lucky to be considering an offering like this. Currently owner occupied, this has been a permanent residence and a very happy home for the current owner and her little one, who has loved living full time on resort grounds. Working more than 3 hours away has taken its toll though, and somewhat reluctantantly the decision to sell this little beauty has become unavoidable, giving some lucky buyer a chance to buy one of Rafferty's finest freestanding cottages with a North facing rear aspect to a sea of green, The popularity of Rafferty's Resort is incredibly easy to understand, just 1 hour North of Hornsby, North Connex makes getting here so quick and easy from most parts of Sydney, and who wouldn't want to live or weekend here, on resort grounds that run right to the water's edge on the shores of magnificent Lake Macquarie, especially when you consider the price and position with great surfing beaches and shops and cafes not 5 minutes away and even on the grounds! Open 7 nights a week, when you don't feel like cooking, wander down to the waterfront and enjoy a meal while watching the sun set over the largest salt water lake in the southern hemisphere, if friends turn up unexpectedly you can walk down and enjoy a wine beer or bubbles, or a barista coffee on the lawn, to a backdrop of Rafferty's own private jetty, boat ramp and sandy beach. Active retirees and families enjoy great times here, both out on The Lake and kicking back poolside in their choice of 4 pools, 1 of which is heated and very close by. With your choice of 4 different courts, tennis enthusiasts or anyone who just likes a hit and giggle will have a ball, no pun intended! The outlook is leafy and green, with the home overlooking the Arboretum and enjoying a level of privacy that's becoming increasingly rare. There are no neighbouring homes in sight, just a canopy of established trees, dappled sunlight and the quiet sense of escape that defines life within this tightly held resort community. When it rains a beautiful bubbling brook appears and provides an outstanding spectacle, kids or grandkisd can throw their galoshes on and have fun splashing about in complete safety under your watchful eye, from insid ethe kitchen, open living and out on the deck. The lower level forms the true heart of the home, where everyday living unfolds effortlessly, with retirees able to live entirely on this lower level, aand families able to accommodate guests and parents downstairs. The ground floor kitchen sits centrally within an open plan living and dining zone, flowing directly out to a covered deck that feels suspended among the trees. It's a space made for connection, whether it's slow mornings with coffee, long lunches with friends, or evenings spent listening to the sounds of nature rather than traffic. This level also includes a master size bedroom and full bathroom, allowing you to live entirely on one level if desired, avoiding stairs altogether while keeping the upper floor as a private guest zone. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the main living areas, ideal for visiting family and friends. A second bathroom services this level, reinforcing the flexibility of the home and making it equally comfortable as a full-time residence, a low-maintenance downsizer or a relaxed weekend escape. Everywhere you look, the home is oriented toward its natural setting. Plantation shutters, generous windows and leafy outlooks ensure the connection to the outdoors is ever-present, while the thoughtful layout creates both openness and privacy in equal measure. Live here as a super affordable home with full resort facilities, or you can weekend here and pick up a pretty penny via the on site management team or Air BNB it yourself or alternatively select your own holiday management team. If you prefer a long term tenant until you're ready to move in that's an option too, and our property management team have tenants ready and waiting to move in!
