'Karinya'

An original 1920s fisherman's cottage had the pick of the finest waterfront sites on Horsfield Bay; 100 years on, 'Karinya' has undergone a spectacular transformation, embodying the timeless character of the cottage and combining it with a beautifully modern aesthetic. The current owners turned their focus to creating a retreat with a strong visual connection to the phenomenal views, yet with minimal impact to the ancient landscape of the Darkinjung people. Its beauty is derived from the simplicity of the striking forms; the organic materials and textural elements throughout the home create an exquisite sense of harmony and flow between indoors and out. Not to be missed are the beautiful gardens designed with advice from Michael Cooke, surrounding the heated pool and cabana – it's an extraordinary spot to let the cares of the week drift away; the waterfront setting also includes a shared jetty. Soaking up a brilliant north aspect and astonishing views, the home is well-protected from southerlies, as the original owner must have sussed out while surveying the splendid, 728sqm parcel. • Outstanding bayfront location, with shared deepwater jetty • Architectural redesign in 2021 takes full advantage of north aspect • Luxe interiors, easy indoor/outdoor lifestyle, formal/casual zones • Multiple entertaining decks, heated mineral pool + elegant cabana • Tiered gardens dotted with fruit and nut trees • Sleek, designer kitchen offers fabulous views and butler's pantry • Full floor master retreat, all bedrooms with built-ins, ceiling fans • Tesla fast charger, irrigated gardens, 600 bottle vaulted wine cellar • Marble fireplace, ducted air, 32 solar panels, 10,000L rain tanks • Study/home office, pizza oven, French Oak flooring throughout • Exceptionally private; cool in summer, snug and cosy all winter • 1 hour to Sydney and 7 minutes to Woy Woy shopping and Trains Station
