2/357 Wattle Tree Road, Holgate.

Brimming with country charm, this spacious, double-brick family home is set on a 3.5 acre block in the highly-sought after Matcham Valley in Holgate. Tightly held for close to a century by one of the original founding families of the valley, this property presents a rare opportunity to embrace coastal lifestyle living in one of the Central Coast's most private and sought-after suburbs – only minutes from the beach. Built on passive solar energy principles, and almost entirely off-grid, the home is nestled peacefully at the front of the block and maximises airflow and cross-breeze ventilation in every room. Timber floors and French doors throughout add to the country ambiance, along with other rustic features such as the custom timber vanity in the main bathroom. The master bedroom spills out onto a sunlit patio, while the home's other three bedrooms invite in an abundance of natural light, looking out onto the gardens. The main bathroom boasts a generous freestanding bath and heated floors, perfect for cool winter evenings, and a large laundry down the hall provides a handy storage and hamper system that is ideal for families. The open plan combined living area is open and airy with high ceilings, flowing effortlessly out onto the homestead's large undercover outdoor entertaining area. At the centre of the home is a stunning contemporary country kitchen – with premium Smeg, Miele and Bosch appliances, a huge walk-in pantry with wine storage, and high-quality cabinetry. Venture out into the gardens and you'll find a full permaculture set-up complete with a worm farm, compost bays, chicken pen, large water tank for the app-controlled irrigation system, an incredible fully-fenced rose, fruit tree and vegetable garden, along with a giant grassed paddock that takes up the remainder of the block. With no busy roads nearby, the only sounds you'll hear are the local birdlife – along with the chickens and any new four-legged friends that you may decide to keep in the large paddock beyond. The property also includes DA-approved plans for an outbuilding, offering great potential for dual living, guest quarters or a workshop. This delightful and versatile family homestead presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to embrace lifestyle living in a premier location, and to be warmly welcomed into tight-knit Holgate community. •Stunning country-style home on a huge, workable 3.5 acre block •Four good-sized bedrooms •DA-approved plans for an outbuilding, offering great potential for dual living •Outdoor entertainers dream with expansive undercover outdoor entertaining area, as well as several courtyards and patios around the home •Built on passive solar energy principles, maximising air flow and cross-breeze ventilation •Solar electricity, tank water and full permaculture garden with worm farm, compost bays, chicken pen and more •Good-sized main bathroom with stunning freestanding bath and heated flooring, and separate toilet •Large country-style kitchen with premium appliances, high-quality cabinetry and walk-in pantry with wine storage •Large laundry with extensive hamper and storage system •Double garage with internal access •Stunning timber flooring and five sets of gorgeous French doors throughout •Huge, fenced rose, fruit tree and vegetable garden – over 500m2 •Envirocycle sewage system •Cafés, shops, schools
