Set on 3,152m2 in Kelman Estate, this beautiful home is surrounded by rolling vineyards and stunning country residences and offers an enviable Wine Country lifestyle. Located in the beating heart of the Hunter Valley, it is moments to wineries, world class restaurants and amazing concert venues and is less than an hour to the beaches of Newcastle and two hours to the CBD of Sydney.
A crisp colour palette, clipped hedgerows and grand proportions the home strikes the perfect balance of serene privacy and spectacular street presence. As you arrive, you quickly disappear behind tall hedges and notice the resort-style in-ground pool separates the main residence from a huge oversized double garage with workshop and bathroom. Wide covered outdoor spaces are everywhere the entrance, off the kitchen, off the conservatory and by the pool.
Stepping inside, tall cathedral ceilings, abundant light, dark stained floorboards and natural jute carpets speak to the level of finish. The centre of the home is a wonderful country kitchen filled with vintage Smeg appliances (three ovens, no less) and as you would expect, thick stone tops and fireclay sink. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining hall and two very generous lounge rooms. At the rear of the home a conservatory or library opens to a covered rear deck with outdoor shutters and lush surrounds.
Four bedrooms are set across two wings. In one wing, a generous bedroom with built-in robes is adjacent to the master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite complete with double basins and deep-soak bath-tub. The other wing houses the final two bedrooms, again both with built-in robes. The entire home is kept comfortable by numerous reverse-cycle, split-system air-conditioners and solar panels ensure electricity bills are kept to a minimum.
Outside, lush manicured gardens by the pool is the perfect place for a G&T in the heat of summer and the many covered decks are the perfect place to catch the sunset with a glass of the Hunter’s finest in the cooler months. An entire estate also awaits with tennis courts, fruit orchards and winding roads perfect for a walk after breakfast.
