Like all properties in this beautiful bay, this property is water access only. Giving you unprecedented levels of peace and quiet and aesthetic beauty. The site faces west, looking across the river onto pristine National Park. Naturally the park is devoid of houses and roads which enhances the feeling of solitude and being off the beaten path..
A key benefit of the site, is that it has a deep water frontage, meaning the property is accessible day and night. Independent of tidal highs and lows. There is a stone retaining wall and permissive occupancy for a ramp and pontoon. Prior to World War 2 the property was a beautiful terraced garden for the adjoining property at lot 8. As such there are sandstone retaining walls through the mid section of the property. A point worth noting is a flat area down near the seawall which is grassed and can be walked on. Many properties in the area don't have this feature due to steep inclination.
The site is only a short three minute boat trip from the Berowra waters river crossing. The local Marina has shop and boat facilities. Berowra Heights has a respectable shopping centre and huge shopping options are available nearby at Hornsby. The acclaimed Berowra Waters inn (Architect Glenn Murcutt) is serviced by Seaplanes from Sydney and Palm Beach on weekends.
On the Berowra Heights side of the river, there is a residents private Carpark for residents, as well as a private wharf serving those living along the river.
City water and power enters from the upper rear of the property. There is also an area of land here at the rear of the property reserved by the Council for potential future road access. This runs across the back of all the houses along Calabash Bay. No road built so far since we purchased in 1987, so don't hold your breath.
The property is zoned A1 residential. It has never been built on in the past. The land plot is rectangular, approximately 21 metres wide on the foreshore and extends up steeply 64 metres.
Permissive Occupancy held for a pontoon (4.8 x 2.4) and ramp measuring (5.2 x 0.9)
