If you’re looking for that unique blue-ribbon property on the Central Coast, one that offers you the opportunity to build and create your own private sanctuary amongst an abundance of light, open space, and the surrounds of nature, then this could be the property you have been waiting for.

The current owner has done the hard work with DA approved plans, following extensive collaboration with consultants and Council to ensure the right balance of ecological and modern-day considerations. As a result, the property presents with an impressive Matcham Road entry and a well-prepared and landscaped space ready for building your dream home.

The building envelope occupies a slightly elevated position, which captures spectacular sunrises, scenic views and sea breezes.  The broader property contains beautiful rainforest with established walking trails, which showcase the native flora and fauna, all leading to a level and cleared sun-drenched recreational area at the top of the property.

The stunning architect-designed 4-bedroom residence is planned to nestle into the block to take advantage of the scenic outlook. The brief was for a light-filled contemporary home with clean lines and open plan living. The internal entertaining spaces adjoin those on the outside and integrate perfectly with the pool area.

Terrigal and Wamberal beaches, quality restaurants, cafés, shops train station and M1 Motorway links, are within all easily accessible.  

AROUND MATCHAM

Matcham is a semi-rural suburb of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the Central Coast Council Local Government area. It has a public hall, an historic church and both private and public schools are nearby. Erina Fair Shopping Centre and the beaches of Terrigal and Wamberal are a short drive away.

Properties are mostly 2.5 acres but there are some 5 and 10 acre properties. Whether you are after peace and privacy, a beautiful outlook, plenty of open space for children to run free, or room for vegetable gardens or horses, there is a property for everyone.

It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful rural setting, with a tight knit community, is so close to everything. Gosford train station, the M1 Motorway and Sydney are all within reach.

Origin of the name Matcham & history of the suburb

The Matcham Estate was a grant of 2,560 acres to Charles Horatio Nelson Matcham, a nephew of Lord Horatio Nelson. Charles came to Sydney in 1828 and was promised the land as a primary grant and authorised to take possession from the 18 October 1831. The deed is registered in book 59/129 and is dated 1 January 1840. The estate passed to his nephew and then through various hands without any development until 1907, when George Matcham sold to Frank L Measures of Niagara Park. Between 1907 and 1910 Mr Measures subdivided the estate into various portions, one of them eventually becoming the suburb of nearby Holgate. The properties were mostly comprised of citrus orchards and bean farms in the early days, attested by the remaining fruit trees and beautiful gardens in the area today.

STEPHEN GITTOES

Over the past 30 years, I have sold properties all over the Central Coast from units to farms and luxury waterfront.

I started my Real Estate career in 1983 as a Property Officer in Sydney’s Kings Cross and then moved to the lower North Shore as a Sales agent in Mosman. I moved to the Central Coast in 1989 with my wife and best friend, Christina where we established our original East Gosford Real Estate business, and we are still here today.

I see myself as a skilled leader, communicator, negotiator and sales agent, I have in excess of 3000 property transactions to my name and I still have the drive, passion and enthusiasm I had when I started my Real Estate career in 1983.

I really enjoy leading a very experienced and passional team specialising in the marketing and management of Waterfront, Acreage and Residential properties.
