A waterfront estate with boating facilities and waterside views has been offered to the market for the first time in 35 years.

The four bedroom and three bathroom property at 15 Huntleys Point Rd at Huntleys Point gives buyers the opportunity to secure a rare waterfront estate nine kilometres away from the Sydney CBD.

Vendors Jim and Patty McDonald have owned the property for a number of years, surrounded by other families in the cul-de-sac location.

Now in their 80s, Mr McDonald said the time was right to downsize to a smaller home.

“It’s been a fantastic spot for us over the years since we’ve been there,” Mr McDonald said.

“Our kids have grown up with a boat moored down near the jetty and small sailing boats to move around the Harbour.”

“As we’ve gotten older its been harder to maintain; the property’s big garden is around 1,195 sqm! We’d love another family to move into the space.”

Nicknamed ‘Mount Vernon’ after the estate of George and Martha Washington, the property includes an inclinator lift which connects the front doorstep to the water’s edge.

Listed by The Agency’s Lee Dowdall and Stephanie O’Sullivan, the property will arrive for auction on the 8th October with a $9m price guide.

With a water frontage spanning over 25 metres, the home provides a great setting for parties.

The main level of the home includes an executive-style home office, with a gourmet kitchen and main spa bathroom that have been upgraded in the past eight years.

“Over the years, we’ve gotten to know our neighbours and host the street Christmas parties,” Mr McDonald said.

“Having the inclinator in the property has also drastically improved accessibility for us to get up and down in the home.”
