79 Marks Point Road

Every now and then, a waterfront property comes along that feels more like a private retreat than a home. This is one of them. With absolute frontage to Lake Macquarie and prized north-facing views across the water, this beloved holiday escape has been held in the same family for over 35 years, and it shows in the way the garden has hosted milestone celebrations and lazy summer afternoons, and how the house has grown to welcome generations of visitors. Set across two generous levels, the layout flexes beautifully for large families or weekend crowd-pleasers, with two living zones, up to seven bedrooms, and three bathrooms. The main open-plan living area and four bedrooms enjoy uninterrupted lake views and magical sunsets over the water. Recent updates bring a fresh feel, with new carpet, crisp decor, and a contemporary kitchen. Step outside to a balcony, ground-floor alfresco, and expansive lawns that roll straight to the water's edge. Launch the tinnie, take the jet-ski for a spin, or paddle out on the kayak or SUP from your own private slipway. Marks Point Marina sits only 250m away for larger boats. Life here is all about the outdoors and the easy rhythm of lake living. Swim at nearby beaches, fish at sunrise, cycle the Fernleigh Track, tee off at Belmont Golf Course, or wander down for coffee, brunch, or sunset cocktails at Papatya or a burger at the Post Office Cafe. Belmont and Swansea are both just minutes away for shopping and everyday essentials, so the simple things stay simple. There is a rare opportunity here to go even bigger. The three-bedroom cottage at 81 Marks Point Road is also being offered for sale, giving you the option to secure both properties and create a combined waterfront holding of approx. 1,992sqm. That opens the door to multigenerational living, a private compound, or income-earning short-stay accommodation while you enjoy your own lakeside sanctuary. Road-to-waterfront parcels of this scale are almost never offered, and once they're gone, they're gone. - Belmont Golf & Bowls 3mins - Blacksmiths Beach 4mins - Caves Beach 11mins - Newcastle CBD 32mins - Hunter Valley vineyards 60mins - Wahroonga 80mins Disclaimer: We have obtained this property information from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
