When​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​freestanding​ ​3​ ​bedroom​ ​cottages​ ​in​ ​Rafferty's,​ ​they​ ​are​ ​a​ ​rarity,​ ​and​ ​when​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​an​ ​arboretum​ ​outlook,​ ​they​ ​get​ ​even​ ​more​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​come​ ​by,​ ​so​ ​consider​ ​yourself​ ​very​ ​lucky​ ​to​ ​be​ ​considering​ ​an​ ​offering​ ​like​ ​this.

Currently​ ​owner​ ​occupied,​ ​this​ ​has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​permanent​ ​residence​ ​and​ ​a​ ​very​ ​happy​ ​home​ ​for​ ​the​ ​current​ ​owner​ ​and​ ​her​ ​little​ ​one,​ ​who​ ​has​ ​loved​ ​living​ ​full​ ​time​ ​on​ ​resort​ ​grounds.

Working​ ​more​ ​than​ ​3​ ​hours​ ​away​ ​has​ ​taken​ ​its​ ​toll​ ​though,​ ​and​ ​somewhat​ ​reluctantantly​ ​the​ ​decision​ ​to​ ​sell​ ​this​ ​little​ ​beauty​ ​has​ ​become​ ​unavoidable,​ ​giving​ ​some​ ​lucky​ ​buyer​ ​a​ ​chance​ ​​ ​​ ​to​ ​buy​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Rafferty's​ ​finest​ ​freestanding​ ​cottages​ ​with​ ​a​ ​North​ ​facing​ ​rear​ ​aspect​ ​to​ ​a​ ​sea​ ​of​ ​green,

The​ ​popularity​ ​of​ ​Rafferty's​ ​Resort​ ​is​ ​incredibly​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​understand,​ ​just​ ​1​ ​hour​ ​North​ ​of​ ​Hornsby,​ ​North​ ​Connex​ ​makes​ ​getting​ ​here​ ​so​ ​quick​ ​and​ ​easy​ ​from​ ​most​ ​parts​ ​of​ ​Sydney,​ ​and​ ​who​ ​wouldn't​ ​want​ ​to​ ​live​ ​or​ ​weekend​ ​here,​ ​on​ ​resort​ ​grounds​ ​that​ ​run​ ​right​ ​to​ ​the​ ​water's​ ​edge​ ​on​ ​the​ ​shores​ ​of​ ​magnificent​ ​Lake​ ​Macquarie,​ ​especially​ ​when​ ​you​ ​consider​ ​the​ ​price​ ​and​ ​position​ ​with​ ​great​ ​surfing​ ​beaches​ ​and​ ​shops​ ​and​ ​cafes​ ​not​ ​5​ ​minutes​ ​away​ ​and​ ​even​ ​on​ ​the​ ​grounds!

Open​ ​7​ ​nights​ ​a​ ​week,​ ​when​ ​you​ ​don't​ ​feel​ ​like​ ​cooking,​ ​wander​ ​down​ ​to​ ​the​ ​waterfront​ ​and​ ​enjoy​ ​a​ ​meal​ ​while​ ​watching​ ​the​ ​sun​ ​set​ ​over​ ​the​ ​largest​ ​salt​ ​water​ ​lake​ ​in​ ​the​ ​southern​ ​hemisphere,​ ​if​ ​friends​ ​turn​ ​up​ ​unexpectedly​ ​you​ ​can​ ​walk​ ​down​ ​and​ ​enjoy​ ​a​ ​wine​ ​beer​ ​or​ ​bubbles,​ ​or​ ​a​ ​barista​ ​coffee​ ​on​ ​the​ ​lawn,​ ​to​ ​a​ ​backdrop​ ​of​ ​Rafferty's​ ​own​ ​private​ ​jetty,​ ​boat​ ​ramp​ ​and​ ​sandy​ ​beach.​ ​

The​ ​outlook​ ​is​ ​leafy​ ​and​ ​green,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​home​ ​overlooking​ ​the​ ​Arboretum​ ​and​ ​enjoying​ ​a​ ​level​ ​of​ ​privacy​ ​that's​ ​becoming​ ​increasingly​ ​rare.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​no​ ​neighbouring​ ​homes​ ​in​ ​sight,​ ​just​ ​a​ ​canopy​ ​of​ ​established​ ​trees,​ ​dappled​ ​sunlight​ ​and​ ​the​ ​quiet​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​escape​ ​that​ ​defines​ ​life​ ​within​ ​this​ ​tightly​ ​held​ ​resort​ ​community.

When​ ​it​ ​rains​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​bubbling​ ​brook​ ​appears​ ​and​ ​provides​ ​an​ ​outstanding​ ​spectacle,​ ​kids​ ​or​ ​grandkisd​ ​can​ ​throw​ ​their​ ​galoshes​ ​on​ ​and​ ​have​ ​fun​ ​splashing​ ​about​ ​in​ ​complete​ ​safety​ ​under​ ​your​ ​watchful​ ​eye,​ ​from​ ​insid​ ​ethe​ ​kitchen,​ ​open​ ​living​ ​and​ ​out​ ​on​ ​the​ ​deck.
