The Space:

Designed for extended families and group getaways, Casa Queenie offers space to gather together or spread out. The grand main residence is set within 2.5 acres of established, park-like gardens with Japanese maples, flat child-friendly lawns, a play structure, outdoor sitting areas, and a private backyard that is not fully fenced.



Three living areas create flexibility throughout the day, while large windows and skylights fill the interiors with natural light. Formal and informal living zones open to expansive terraces, and the home has a formal dining room for shared meals.

The private outdoor pool is available year-round and open 24 hours a day.



The Neighborhood:

Picketts Valley is a small, peaceful semi‑rural suburb in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, located just a short drive from Terrigal and Avoca Beach. It has a quiet, country‑like feel with lots of greenery, open spaces, and a close‑knit community, making it ideal for those who enjoy a tranquil lifestyle while still being close to coastal amenities and beaches.



The area features larger blocks of land and a scenic landscape that blends gentle hills and natural vegetation, providing a countryside atmosphere that feels a world away from busier urban centres. Its proximity to outdoor attractions like bushland reserves, walking trails and nearby coastlines gives residents easy access to both rural and beachside experiences.



Despite its peaceful setting, Picketts Valley is not far from essential services, shopping and dining options in neighbouring suburbs like Terrigal and Erina. This balance of calm, scenic living with convenient access to local hubs makes it attractive for families and those seeking a quieter pace close to the coast.
