The Watchtower  

A home unlike anything you’ve seen before, this extraordinary Hawkesbury River retreat is rich in creativity, craftsmanship and story. Originally constructed by a local set designer using an eclectic mix of classic Australian materials including corrugated iron, recycled timbers, and reclaimed elements, the property delivers a rare blend of rustic authenticity and casual modern living.

Set high amongst pristine bushland with breathtaking river views, the home feels deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to frame the landscape while creating warmth, character and a sense of escape from the everyday.

At the heart of the home lies a huge entertainer’s kitchen, beautifully renovated and designed for gathering with family and friends. Living spaces spill effortlessly onto the deep wraparound veranda where the elevated outlook across the Hawkesbury becomes the backdrop to daily life. Whether it’s morning coffee amongst the gum trees, long lunches with friends, or winter evenings beside the oversized wood-burning fireplace, this is a home made for slowing down and enjoying the moment.

The residence offers three bedrooms along with a stunning newly renovated bathroom featuring rich textures, quality finishes and a freestanding bath immersed in nature. Air conditioning, warm timber floors and eclectic detailing throughout further enhance the home’s inviting atmosphere.

Outside, the magic continues. Meandering stone pathways, established gardens, towering sandstone outcrops and hidden entertaining spaces create an enchanting bushland sanctuary. Then there is the legendary “Watchtower” tucked privately amongst the trees — rumoured to have been used during the filming of The Wolverine — adding another layer of intrigue and cinematic charm to this already unique property.

Positioned only minutes from Spencer Village with its popular cafes, public wharf and boat ramp, the property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Enjoy an easy escape from the city with the Central Coast reachable in under 60 minutes and Sydney CBD approximately 90 minutes away.

More than simply a home, this is a truly rare lifestyle property with soul, creativity and a story to tell.
