Set in a lush-green pocket of the picturesque Hunter Valley, Malolo Park is an exquisite country estate with jaw-dropping views of the rugged Watagan Range. A large freshwater lake provides abundant water security and forms a stunning centrepiece for this park-like property and a luxuriously appointed modern country residence, pool & court provide for an enviable lifestyle. An additional guest or managers residence and barn complex add commercial opportunity to an already outstanding offering and the proximity to Wine Country, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Sydney is unique.

Handcrafted timber fencing and mature Peppercorn trees usher you from the front gate to the home which sits high on the property and offers panoramic views. Travertine, real oak boards and plush carpet set a level of expectation from the minute you step inside. The heart of the home is a brand-new designer kitchen with 80mm stone tops, stainless European appliances and sizeable butlers pantry. A huge lounge and living space with wood-burning fire opens to the pool which is flagged with thick Italian porphyry pavers and trimmed with brand-new glass fencing to embellish the view. Three good-size bedrooms plus a study, all with built-in robes, share the main bathroom, and the southern end of the home features a huge main bedroom complete with brand-new ensuite, walk-in-robe and parents retreat making the most of the stunning views. An enclosed outdoor room surrounded by the pool, court and garden is a perfect dining room, home office, gymnasium or sun-room. Storage is a feature of the property with a huge walk-in store room internally and numerous external storage spaces, including an adjacent double garage and workshop for cars and toys. The property is kept comfortable all year round by ducted and split-system reverse-cycle air conditioners.

A second renovated three bedroom, one bathroom residence with wood-burning fire provides space for guests, accommodation for a farm manager or a potential income from permanent or short-term accommodation (STCA). The property is set apart from the main residence, has a huge undercover outdoor entertaining area and single garage for storage.

The central barn complex has traditionally been utilised as an impeccable equine facility with administration office, bathroom, kitchenette, stables, feed and tack rooms and vet crush. The barn however could also have other applications like being converted to a function space (STCA) or being used for other business pursuits. Adjoining day yards, round yard and silo support any livestock or agricultural uses and a huge machinery annexe provides hidden storage for all farm machinery and feed required on a property of this kind.

The rolling green pastures are framed by state-of-the-art fencing that has been carefully developed for easy and efficient operations. Water is abundant, with the high rainfall area supplemented with a generous 24 megalitre water allocation off the freshwater lake. Water is distributed through an underground irrigation system that services all of the many paddocks with automatic water troughs and irrigation outlets, enabling year-round pasture improvement, lucerne or other cropping pursuits. A pumphouse on the shores of the lake doubles as a BBQ area with floating jetty. Master-built timber cattle yards make handling stock very easy and an extensive list of inclusions and improvements complete what must be said to be one of the most impressive offerings in the Hunter this year.
