Set on just over 12 park-like acres in the picturesque Hunter Valley, this beautiful family home is blessed with stunning views, a cute self-contained cottage, an in-ground pool, horse stables, a hobby vineyard and olive grove as well as plenty of water and ample shedding. It is located less than 15 minutes to the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues of Wine Country and with excellent access to the Hunter Expressway it is around 45 minutes from the beaches of Newcastle and just over 2 hours to the CBD of Sydney.

As you arrive, a beautiful winding drive leads you past a huge earth dam, vineyard and olive grove to the main house which is impeccably presented. Large stands of eucalypts provide fantastic shade and the elevated position of the home takes advantage of the breathtaking views of the nearby ranges. Inside, it is immediately apparent that this home is dearly loved – plush carpets, a neutral colour palette and fresh clever updates it is inviting, comfortable and you don’t really want to leave.

There are four generously proportioned bedrooms with robes and the master suite also has a new ensuite. A main open living space connects the immaculate country kitchen to the dining, lounge and outdoor screened room. The kitchen has thick stone tops, stainless appliances and offers plenty of storage as well as views over the farm to the surrounding ranges. A second lounge with wood-burning fireplace and bar offers an additional living room as well as a large study which can be used as another dining room if required. A generous laundry doubles as a mud-room and an adjoining bathroom and toilet are very practical. The home has good storage and is kept comfortable by two reverse-cycle ducted air conditioners as well as two wood-burning fireplaces.

Outside, an in-ground salt-water pool sits just off the screened outdoor room and an additional paved BBQ area, vegetable patch and firepit provide many outdoor living options whatever the prevailing conditions. The house yard is also fully fenced to keep the four-legged family members close to home. A large garage with workshop and two attached carports as well as a massive machinery shed offers plenty of storage for cars, machinery, caravans, horse floats or anything else you can think of.

At the top of the vineyard, a cute fully self-contained cottage offers a large bedroom, neat bathroom and combined living space with soaring ceilings and exposed beams. A front porch with fantastic views is the perfect spot for sunset while the two reverse-cycle air-conditioners keep the inside toasty warm or icy cool depending on the time of year. It is perfect for parents, adult children still living at home or an AirBnB income.

In addition to the hobby-sized vineyard, olive grove and deep earthen dam, the property has three fenced paddocks with shelters for horses or alpacas. A chicken coop and wood shed as well as ample water tanks for drinking water mean nothing is left to do.
