48A Thompson Road

Speers Point NSW 2284

Perched high above the shoreline on a sprawling 2,593sqm, 48A Thompson Road is defined by scale, outlook and an address that puts Lake Macquarie squarely in the frame. The home sits across an expansive parcel with sweeping water views from its elevated position, giving the property a strong relationship with the blue water landscape. There is space here in every direction: broad lawns, six oversized garage spaces, a superb outdoor entertaining zone and a separate studio all contribute to a property with the proportions of a private lifestyle estate. And if that's not enough, add more value with a secondary dwelling (STCA), a space for the extended family or an additional income. The lake is the constant visual, while the considerable landholding gives the entire setting a sense of exclusivity.

Inside, the detailing lifts the home well beyond the expected family footprint. A wide entry opens to a vast open plan zone with a cosy combustion fireplace, creating one beautiful family space with easy outdoor connection. The kitchen is finished with 40mm stone benchtops, a substantial breakfast bar, walk-in pantry and extensive built-in cabinetry, with an adjacent dining area positioned to keep meal time easy. Four bedrooms include a private parents' domain with walk-in robe, ensuite and separate lounge or study, while the remaining bedrooms feature built-in robes, ceiling fans and classy plantation shutters. The wraparound spotted gum deck is another highlight, configured as an outdoor entertaining room with its own kitchenette, bar fridge and barbecue, and framed by the panorama beyond. A fully self-contained studio above the garaging introduces another level of flexibility, complete with kitchen, bathroom and private deck, and the garaging is incredible, consisting of three double garages to provide exceptional capacity for cars, a boat, caravan or workshop needs, and supported by three-phase power. A 12kW solar system, 25,000-litre water tank, multiple instantaneous gas hot-water systems, ducted air-conditioning and security screens complete a high-end property designed around scale, independence and longevity.

And when you live somewhere like this, it is all about the lifestyle. Moments from the front door you have a popular track that trails the entire northern tip of the lake, where you can walk the dog, take the bike out, or simply stretch your legs as you soak in those views. Without putting in much effort, you can easily get out on the water on a paddle board, kayak or jet-ski, or take the boat out and throw a line in. Warners Bay's superb selection of cafes are also only minutes away, as is the fantastic Speers Point Park with its iconic foreshore, playground and café.
