Lot 2626 Brooker Avenue

A truly rare bushland retreat with endless potential

Hidden deep within the bush, this captivating sandstone cottage offers an opportunity unlike any other on the Northern Beaches. Nestled down a private road that forms part of the Red Hill Trail, this rustic residence offers a serene escape, surrounded by nature with breathtaking tree-filled views that stretch across the landscape. Originally built in the 1950s by Dr. Grace Johnston, an ex-Australian Olympian, the home was later gifted to the family that has lovingly cared for it since. The charming residence embraces simplicity with a living area that opens onto a wraparound terrace, providing a seamless connection to the natural surroundings. With one bedroom, a bathroom and a detached studio, the layout is functional and inviting. Set on a generous parcel, the property offers a rare opportunity to create your dream forever home or a unique holiday haven in an extraordinary location, where the peace and tranquillity of country living meet the stunning beauty of native bushland. While this private retreat feels a world apart, it’s just a short drive to the Northern Beaches’ vibrant hubs, beaches, Warringah Mall, Forestway shopping centre and Chatswood, with local shops and schools close by.
