5385 George Downes Drive, Bucketty NSW 2250

Nestled on over 25 private acres, this serene and elevated retreat is perfect for those seeking a peaceful weekend escape with family and friends or for a short-stay accommodation operator looking for a resort-style rural property with extensive facilities. Ideally located, it's just 50 minutes (56km) to the Central Coast and 1 hour and 30 minutes to the inner CBD of Sydney.

At the heart of the property is the main Cypress Pine homestead, featuring a striking façade and generous proportions. Inside, the open-plan living area boasts a soaring cathedral ceiling, slow combustion fireplace, and opens onto a wraparound balcony. The homestead offers four spacious bedrooms—two with built-in robes, while the master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and direct balcony access. An electric motorized awning and a carport complete the main residence.

The first outbuilding combines charm and modern comfort. Its open-plan living space showcases polished timber floors, a beautifully finished kitchen with shaker-style cabinetry, modern appliances, and a tiled splash back for a perfect blend of functionality and design. A slow combustion fireplace adds warmth and character, while ducted air conditioning, LED downlights, and ceiling fans provide year-round comfort. Both rooms feature luxurious ensuites with rainfall showers, floor-to-ceiling tiles, and gold fittings. A 13-panel solar system further enhances the studio's energy efficiency.

Cute as a button and tucked away in the garden is the second studio that includes a kitchenette, ensuite, and private balcony with views of the pool, mountains, and local wildlife.

For recreation, the property includes a tennis court and a pool area with a wraparound deck. Whether relaxing in the spa, lounging poolside, or enjoying the sounds of nature, the property is a tranquil haven. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit to enjoy the warmth of a crackling bonfire under the stars.
