Spanning over two acres amongst the idyllic Avoca Beach hinterland this exquisite retreat effortlessly captures the timeless storybook charm of seaside rural living. Artfully curated over 50 years by a husband and wife team the farmhouse is a soulful hillside escape in one of the area's most desirable locations. Thirston Cottage radiates warmth as you step back into an earlier chapter of the central coast with pristine timber flooring, high ceilings, original features, a stone fireplace, and sash windows framing captivating views from every angle. Perfectly positioned to capture the gentle summer breeze, the home offers an ideal escape from the heat, while in winter you can unwind by the cosy, warm fire. Enjoy inspiring sunrises from the terrace overlooking Avoca Lagoon, the beach, and the surf. Not only is this property a rare piece of Terrigal history, but it is also one of the few acreages on the Central Coast offering breathtaking views. There are indulgences in life, and then there's breakfast on the balcony at Thirston Cottage. It is extremely rare to find a secluded, very private cottage of this style that is set on just over two acres of beautifully manicured gardens and amazing mature tree specimens that were carefully curated and planted by the current owners. A truly mesmerising estate that lures you forward the moment you step from the striking strelitzia and sculpted agapanthus-lined driveway.
