'Dodge's Ridge' - A Family-Friendly Mountain Hideaway

Set upon 10.46ha (25.8 acres) of beautiful Australian countryside, this 5-bedroom family home enjoys magnificent views looking over surrounding mountain ranges and valleys below. With easy 2WD access, the property is privately hidden with no neighbours in sight and feels like a natural park land from the moment you arrive through the front gate winding by native grass trees, wildflowers and a variety of Eucalypts.

Freshly renovated, the quality brick home features a brand-new gourmet kitchen with caser stone bench tops, an island bench, walk-in pantry and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and 900mm oven with gas cooktop. Adjoining the kitchen is an open plan family/living room and dining area. A central hallway leads to the 5 bedrooms, main bathroom, internal laundry and main living room. The living room incorporates a slow-combustion fireplace and opens onto a huge undercover alfresco where you will appreciate the stunning views while entertaining or enjoying Summer BBQ’s.

The large master bedroom has a modern ensuite and walk-in-robe as well as a huge dressing room with extra storage. All the secondary bedrooms have built-in-robes and there are two linen cupboards along the hallway giving ample storage space. The internal laundry is another great size room with built-in bench space, shelving, and direct access to outside. 

A double garage and workshop adjoins the house with a separate toilet inside and a large parking area in front of the garage gives plenty of space for vehicles. Nearby the house is a brand new 12m x 12m farm shed on a concrete slab with an extra tall 6m pitch roof and points in the slab to allow for a car hoist. Anyone who likes a good shed will be in their element here!

Services to the property include mains power, two electric hot water systems and bottled gas for cooking. Three large water tanks provide approximately 44,000L of water storage and a transpiration septic system services the house. The property has the benefit of Optus mobile service and satellite internet connection.

Located within an hours’ drive to Tuggerah/Central Coast and 70mins drive to Hornsby/Sydney, Bucketty is a popular area for weekenders and permanent residents alike as it is far enough to enjoy total peace and privacy while also being close enough to shopping centres and the beautiful Hunter Valley where you can enjoy the local wineries, restaurants and boutique shops.
