Property of the week: Prime beachfront holiday house in Killcare
Adjacent to the Killcare Surf Club and next door to John Singleton’s former weekender, this family holiday house at 78 Beach Drive is in one of the most exclusive property pockets on the Central Coast. Just 100 metres from the sand, it is the kind of beach house families dream of owning. With glass windows framing the entire sweep of the beach and headlands from nearly every vantage point in the home, it is relaxed and spacious, spanning two levels with dual living zones providing good separation for parents and children. An open plan design on the main floor flows easily to covered alfresco terraces that wrap around three sides of the home and a modern CaesarStone kitchen offers gas appliances and walk-in pantry. A huge master bedroom offers superb ocean views and massive walk-in wardrobe and there is a handy rumpus room conveniently attached to the kids’ bunkroom. You’ve also got a range of luxurious creature comforts such as ducted airconditioning and a lift service from the garage. Across the road you can simply skip to the ocean, perhaps grabbing a coffee and breaky burger at the local surf club on the way.
Over the hill in Hardy’s Bay there are cafes, restaurants and a charming little shopping village. Or if you want to splash out, the Wild Flower Bar and Dining is on top of the hill, located inside the exclusive five-star Bells at Killcare boutique hotel. The neighbouring property Saltwood was sold by Cathy Baker last year for one of the highest prices ever seen on the Central Coast.
The former beach house of millionaire adman John Singleton, which is being rented as a holiday house, is currently a top income investment, earning up to $2000-$2500 per night. Private chef services, helicopter charters, babysitters, massages and yoga classes are just some of the services that holiday makers can expect when they book a high-end property through Belle Property Killcare. “The area is transforming into a Palm Beach — we have a lot of high profile clients who come and stay here,” Cathy Baker said.
