After years of delighting garden lovers and the community with his open gardens, Bob Cherry is hanging up his work boots and is ready to move on from the visually stunning, and botanically engrossing, landscape he has created. 40 years of dedication has seen 20 acres of the total 190 acre (77Ha) property transformed into landmark gardens with a huge lily covered lake, pathways leading by hedges of camellias, colourful garden beds, unusual specimen plants, arches, bridges, monumental columns and forests of mature trees. Over 640,000 bricks have been used in the structures throughout the gardens, which includes a huge multifunction gazebo with amenities and stain glass features. With Ourimbah Creek and its headwaters meandering through the property the abundance of water is evident, and water features strongly throughout the gardens. The four bedroom north east facing residence is comfortable and light filled with 1970's charm. There are timber features throughout; a tastefully renovated main bathroom; shared ensuite between 2nd and third bedrooms; and an open fireplace in the living area. All rooms come with a view, with beautiful gardens, a koi carp pond and maple trees surrounding the home. Across the lawn is a wonderful entertaining area with a huge 60 foot pool, designed to fill with flowing fresh water. Nature abounds, and wombats, lyre birds, wallabies and platypus all enjoy the quiet seclusion the property provides, which includes approximately 70 cleared acres and 120 acres of untouched bushland. There is a range of vegetation from heath land to wet sclerophyll forest, rock formations and waterfalls. The property backs onto Jilliby State Recreation Area and is located at the end of a no thru road. There is a reticulated water system, large shade house, a green house 100 x 70 ft, two spring water bores and water licences. This property is simply a beautiful secluded private retreat, or there is potential to develop (with council consent) into more, such as a wedding venue/conference centre or a health retreat/spa. Situated around 25 minutes from Gosford City centre or Westfield Tuggerah, and around an hour from the northern suburbs of Sydney with commuting along F3.
