'Sticky Fig Cottage', nestled amongst the beautiful former 'Waverley Gardens & Nursery', on a prime, near level sun-drenched 2.8 acre parcel, is available for purchase for the first time in nearly thirty years. The heritage cottage, once the original homestead for the area, occupies a prized position in these spectacular, professionally designed gardens.

The elegant and authentic charm of the cottage with its 11-foot ceilings, original fretwork, spotted gum floorboards and French doors leading to patios and verandahs, melds with modern enhancements and high-end European fixtures and fittings. Cosy up by the Chazelles double sided fireplace in the spacious living area or, prepare delicious meals in the renovated kitchen featuring Ilve and Miele appliances, Caesarstone bench tops and a rippled marble splashback.

A 'Jack and Jill 'ensuite services both bedrooms. The large main bathroom has Nocce Travertine floor tiling, a free-standing Australian made claw foot enamel & cast iron bathtub, wall mounted Perrin & Rowe basin with genuine English pewter tapware and wall mounted towel rails.
Picturesque views from every window, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, with each room opening to a verandah, patio or the French Provincial inspired courtyard with its wisteria covered arbour, ensures that you'll enjoy entertaining or simply unwinding and relaxing in the sunshine.

A separate studio, which has been fitted to the same high standard, offers open plan living, an oversized his & hers bathroom and a large bedroom, which opens to a patio and another Provincial style courtyard with an arbour. It would be ideal for guest or in law-accommodation or could provide an income stream, as it has its own entrance and private carpark. The property itself was at one time operated quite successfully as an AirBNB.

The property offers tranquillity and privacy with its lush vegetation, native bird song, and wildlife sightings. Embrace a sustainable lifestyle with productive vegetable gardens, fruit and citrus trees and your own chicken coup. The gardens, which have had a predominantly biodynamic management system, are renowned amongst gardeners and collectors of rare plants and were on open garden inspection day lists for many years and featured in numerous magazines, including the Australian Women's Weekly.

Conveniently located just a short distance from the restaurants, cafes, shops and beaches of Terrigal, Wamberal and Erina, this one-of-a-kind acreage offers the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion.
