In real estate the term retreat is used a lot, but in this instance Macdonald Lodge located on the banks of the Macdonald River and surrounded by natural bushland is just that.
Sitting on 1.4ha beyond a tree-lined driveway, the lodge, at 440 St Albans Rd, Lower Macdonald, is an opportunity for buyers seeking a residence they could use as their own hideaway, a casual weekender or short term rental.

“The owners have used it as their family getaway, but now their children are older, they’ve decided to finally let it go,” said Deborah Cullen of Cullen Royle Property Purveyors.
Ms Cullen said although the property would make a unique family home, it would also make an ideal holiday home as it is a turn key listing with all the furniture included.
With a three-bedroom main residence, and a privately accessible two-bedroom self-contained unit on the lower level, the versatile layout would suit a variety of family set ups.
In the main home an open plan living and dining space opens to a large wrap around balcony with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the view, dine together or even find room to work from home.
The level has a fireplace, spacious kitchen, a spa bathroom, a bedroom and laundry. One level up and there are two bedrooms with ensuites, including a palatial main with river views from the balcony.
Outside and the expansive grounds are a major drawcard with an infinity pool taking centre stage.
“As well as that amazing pool there is a slide down to the river. It’s also got a great grassed area too for younger children, or if you just want extra outdoor recreational space,” Ms Cullen said.
“There’s nothing on the other side of the river either, just a heritage rural estate and all you see are paddocks; you have actually got a very private outlook. And because it’s on the Lower Macdonald River, it’s not right on the Hawkesbury, so it’s really a tranquil spot.”
The property is close to the new Wisemans Surf Lodge, a planned but yet to be built 18ha resort which will have a giant wave pool, fine dining restaurant and golf course.
“Although it’s still under construction it’s going to offer something really spectacular to the area and would be an amazing attraction for anyone wanting to use this as their part time home or rental,” Ms Cullen said.
Macdonald Lodge is also about 90 minutes from Sydney.
