Home Sweet Home or Home Sweet Holiday Home – Nestled on 35 Acres of Waterfront Reserve Resort Grounds, Away from Crowds & a Stroll to the Foreshore!

Who wouldn’t want to live resort style? Where there’s none of the usual upkeep of grounds and pools, and you can just show up to made beds, and get straight to poolside relaxing, with coffee or wine by the pool, never having to worry about washing and laundering the sheets when you leave!

On the grounds management, take care of everything for you, organising cleaning before you arrive, and again after you leave, advertising for paying guests, running wedding and function events that bring in the crowds, and the cash you need to make your holiday house a genuine investment property too.

Even if you’re not holidaying here, and this is your permanent, home sweet home, you’ll enjoy the benefits of incredibly low maintenance loving, with beautifully kept grounds that are looked after by someone else, you don’t even have to put your own bins out, they’re all taken care of by magic maintenance fairies, so you can sleep in and relax!

The popularity of Rafferty’s Resort is incredibly easy to understand, it offers owners who want to live here permanently, no maintenance resort living.

For those who want to holiday here, there’s none of the work, and there’s guaranteed income, so you don’t have to have a holiday home that feels like another job, or another business to run, or extra house to look after.

The resort doesn’t have that strata complex feel or retirement village look, instead it is set up for lifestyle and living, where you can be as active or laid back as you
like.

In fact who wouldn’t want to live here, where resort grounds run right down to the water’s edge on the shores of magnificent Lake Macquarie, perfect for quiet morning and
evening strolls.

The boat ramp and jetty are perfect for those who want a waterfront, but can’t afford it, there’s room to keep your boat or van down by the water too.

A gorgeous Sandy Foreshore Beach, let’s kids and grandkids swim in the largest salt water lake in the Southern Hemisphere, without the danger of big surf waves, and rips that you get at an ocean beach.

There’s also your choice of 4 tennis courts and 4 pools, 1 of which is heated and very close by, with a café/restaurant on the grounds and even bigger and better plans for a full-blown tavern style restaurant on the water currently being proposed.

Here your tantalising close to the heated pool, and a pretty private tennis court, and you’re just a short, easy stroll to the waterfront pools and cafe too, but you’re also beautifully set away from any hustle and bustle, so the feel is more peaceful and private, especially important if you’re choosing to live here full time.

With all that Swansea, Caves Beach, Catherine Hill Bay and Blacksmiths have to offer, just 5 minutes up the road, great cafes, shops, services, restaurants, clubs and hotels, and amazing swimming, and surfing beaches are just an easy drive away.

Terrific coffee and wining dining options are also within walking distance of home, on the grounds or down on The Lake foreshore at Nords Wharf and Murrays Beach.

For holiday makers or owners who still have connections to the Big Smoke, Rafferty’s Resort is just 1 hour North of Hornsby and North Connex now makes getting here and back even quicker and so much easier.

When you consider the price of renovated homes here, this very well kept, but largely original property offers you an entry level price point, and plenty of scope to play with and personalise to your own taste.

Prices here are still well below the cost of a dump you’d buy in Swansea and Blacksmiths, and yet these properties offer so much more for weekender or downsizer buyers, with so much less work and so much on the grounds to enjoy, but not have to look after.

Unlike many other homes here, your garage is virtually at your door, with a visitor carpark right beside your garage, perfect for when you have guests.

Live completely on the ground floor if you like, with lovely entry level open plan living and kitchen, great outdoor living both front and back, with a terrific courtyard and a separate deck, plus 2 spacious, genuine double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well!

Up top is perfect for guests, offering an oversized, mezzanine king size third bedroom, or wonderful second living option.

Some owners have completely closed this big space in, creating their own king size luxury suite upstairs.

Long term permanently rented, this home presents far better than some other similar size accommodation that has been exclusively holiday let, where owners have never stayed, and upkeep has been minimal.

Offering a blank canvas, everything is maintained and in great working order, but you can choose if and how you renovate, rather than paying for someone else’s choices that aren’t necessarily to your style or taste.

Easy and breezy indoor living is open plan, with stunning high ceilings, lovely genuine hardwood timber floorboards, and a great flow from front to back, with a lovely private, very generous courtyard looking and a great size deck, with a slightly elevated outlook to gorgeous gardens and blue sky.

You can live here full time, making this 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 also an option!

With more terrace style, much smaller accommodation having been sold of late, these are a more house like option and they have started to climb in price, becoming more highly sort after, so if you like the thought of living, weekending or investing here, strike while there’s opportunity and you can still afford to buy here
