While the Brisbane River and Melbourne’s Yarra River define their respective cities, the harbour’s majesty makes Sydney such a desirable part of the world. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking New South Wales has no spectacular stretches of snaking water, with the Hawkesbury River offering an immaculate setting for serenity-drenched homes like 818 Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville North.

Of all of the sections of the Hawkesbury River, the hairpin on which 818 (a straightforward name for a house) sits is one of the more attractive, with the curve of the river creating a peninsula flanked by water on three sides. It’s near the popular Dargle Water Ski Resort and is situated around 80km (or 70 minutes) from the heart of Sydney.

While not quite on the bank of the river, 818 Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville North, looks over the waters from the hillside on a 3.5-hectare block, complete with a path that takes you right down to the water’s edge. Totally surrounded by lush vegetation, it offers up a place to enjoy the tree change of your dreams.

All counted, 818 Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville North, features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as space for a proper fleet of 12 vehicles to park. With an internal area of more than 400 square meters, it’s an enormously spacious home that feels even larger thanks to its open-plan living and dining areas, which suck natural light inside via the ceiling windows enabled by the twin-level roof.

The kitchen is world-class, boasting NEFF appliances, Carrara marble surfaces and a convenient butler’s kitchen, all of which combine to a feeling of elevated homeliness. Premium, but not over the top. Adjacent to the kitchen is arguably the highlight of the main living space — a towering limestone fireplace that adds to the tension between luxury and rustic charm.

Beyond this space is a set of floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto the large terrace area, which features a stunning swimming pool and makes for the perfect place to enjoy a meal surrounded by nature. On the second level, you’ll find another outdoor space in the form of a large balcony, providing serene views of the treetops around.

It’s a remarkable property, which not only offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney, but also a spot to enjoy the spectacular beauty of rural New South Wales and the Hawkesbury River. The home at 818 Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville North, is being sold by the team at Willu Property, who are currently seeking expressions of interest. According to data from Domain, the price target is around the $7 million mark.
