A retreat-like property in Macquarie Hills has lasted less than 10 days on the market with selling agent Tony Reville saying buyers are showing an increased appetite for "lifestyle blocks".
Mr Reville reported 63 groups through the luxurious property at 22 Blaxland Road as well as 128 direct enquiries and multiple offers before it was sold for an undisclosed sum.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence with a gas-heated pool and spa and no shortage of entertaining spaces was set on a private block 3876 square metres in size with a bush backdrop.
It enjoyed one of Lake Macquarie's most exclusive addresses and was marketed with a guide of $1.5 million.

"I'm astonished by how many people are looking for large lifestyle blocks," Mr Reville said. "There are a lot of buyers looking for that bit of space and we can't service them due to a lack of this kind of property."
