Set on a huge parcel of land in the most exclusive precinct of ‘the Vintage’, this phenomenally beautiful and exceptionally large home is also in the beating heart of Hunter Valley Wine Country and all the concert venues, vineyards and restaurants the area has to offer. It is less than an hour from the beautiful beaches of Newcastle and two hours from the CBD of Sydney.

As you arrive, the sheer presence of the home is astounding. A muted grey and white palette, soaring rooflines, Dorma windows and Monier shingles this home is Hamptons architecture at its finest. The exceptionally heavy (and beautiful) cast-iron front doors are your first indication of the quality of this home. Swiftly followed by high-gloss polished marble floors, tall ceilings and an espalier clipped pear tree you know already this may be one of the finest homes you have ever seen.

On one side, a huge open living and dining space with cathedral ceilings and Dorma windows is centred around an open fire and flanked on three sides by covered and open living spaces. The kitchen is huge in keeping with the rest of the home and offers 900mm stainless cooker, thick stone tops and a blanket box under the window a perfect spot to curl up with a book and a coffee in the winter sun. As is the case with the rest of this home, that is not all there is to the kitchen behind the kitchen is a butler’s pantry which is bigger than most normal kitchens and is also fully equipped with yet another 900mm stainless cooker. The joinery, tapware and finishes are exceptional.

In the same wing, a huge master suite sits at the rear of the home with French-doors opening straight out on to a huge L-shaped in-ground concrete pool. The master suite features a dreamy walk-in robe with a shoe rack every lady has dreamed of owning. Exposed barn doors also lead you in to an expansive ensuite which features herringbone Carrara marble, a make-up dresser, double vanity and deep-soak freestanding tub.

Connected to the other wing by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and putting green as well as a whisky room (or wine cellar) which is fitted with bespoke joinery and a glass entry door. A powder room completes the Northern wing.

The Southern wing houses three very generous bedrooms with robes, a generous main bathroom with more herringbone marble, yet another living space and yet another full bathroom with (you guessed it) more herringbone Carrara marble. The last bathroom opens to the pool and is perfect for guests not staying at the home. A laundry (with stone tops and beautiful cabinetry) and a four car garage complete the Southern wing.

The two wings enclose a central loggia which opens to the massive L-shaped in-ground pool with sandstone retaining walls and glass pool fencing.

Just when you thought there couldn’t be anything else, there is a stunning bed-sit at the front of the home perfect for visiting family, a nanny or guests. It also has a kitchen with stone tops, a bathroom with even more Carrara marble and a bed and living space. The entire property is kept comfortable by multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioning systems which can be controlled in many different parts of the home.

A ‘dream-home’ in all respects, this is one of the most impressive homes in the Hunter Valley.
