51 Lakeside Drive, Macmasters Beach NSW 2251

Named after Fort William, ancestral home of the MacMaster Family in Scotland, a truly rare opportunity is on offer to acquire this landmark residence set in a blue-ribbon lakefront location. Situated on a large and level 1,035sqm parcel of land, this beautiful home offers an immensely relaxing lifestyle of superb tranquillity and privacy. Originally built in 1927 by Dr John MacMaster, Fort William was Dr MacMasters first choice of site within the Lakeside subdivision. In 2006 the home was meticulously and respectfully restored and extended with a focus on light filled and free flowing interiors, generous outdoor entertainment areas and superb options for family accommodation.
This timeless sanctuary is blessed with perfectly landscaped gardens and a level north facing lawn that is privately adorned by Paperbarks and offers direct access to Cockrone Lagoon. The entry level is an entertainers delight that is graced with two spacious bedrooms and a central kitchen with an open plan lounge and dining area that extends onto the North facing deck taking in the perfectly landscaped gardens and water views. Upstairs showcases a second living and dining area with kitchenette plus a third bedroom and bathroom ideal for guests or extended family.
In addition to the home, there is also a single carport that leads into a single lockup garage with an adjoining studio/home office equipped with a laundry and bathroom. Upstairs from the garage, there is also a loft for additional storage or bunk room.
Boasting an enviable position, within metres to the waters edge and only a 200 meters level walk to the beach, this home is a truly rare find in this highly desirable location.
This iconic landmark boasts a long history that the current owners have managed to piece together.
