Behind the white picket fence stands a cottage with a name, a warm welcome and a wonderful story. Orana began as a humble two-room fisherman's cottage. Three generations of one family later, its character is as captivating as its gardens.
Be greeted by lush greenery and a wide front veranda, with timber decking and traditional columns. It's a place to sit and watch the world go by. Inside beautiful herringbone parquetry floors, high ceilings, vintage lights, and lace curtains tell of years lovingly spent here. A chimney fireplace lends the sitting and dining room old-fashioned warmth. And through the house, glimpses of greenery and water beckon.
Then comes the surprise. Soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed timber beams and expanses of glass bring a wonderful sense of space to the rear living room. Picture windows draw the eye towards the lake, with French doors opening onto a generous covered timber deck, ready for morning tea, afternoon conversations, and the pleasure of doing absolutely nothing. The family who shaped Orana understood the magic of that outlook.
The kitchen has its own sweet charm, including a delightful bay window. There's air conditioning, double guest bedroom with a window seat, spotless bathroom and a generous main bedroom including a walk-in robe and ensuite. Even the original bunk room survives, now used as a single bedroom and study. Just imagine the stories those walls could tell.
Outside, the garden is a little world of its own. Wander along stone pathways, past flowering shrubs, and established trees, or settle onto the lawn beneath the sky. A bore helps keep everything thriving, and there is a ramp for easy access to the backyard. At the rear, a gate opens to the reserve and fire trail with access directly to the water. Bring the kayak, fishing rod, or picnic basket. Lake days are yours to invent.
Elevated above the water line, this exquisite property is surrounded by nature, just near a boat ramp and only 350m from the Lake Cathie Foreshore Reserve. The local bowling club and beach are also close by with Woolworths and the village shops around 1km away. Port Macquarie is approximately 15 minutes drives North while Bonny Hills and the charming Camden Haven Region is a short drive South.
Orana isn't asking for much, just someone to fall in love with it. And believe us, you will.
