Set against the Brokenback Range on a park-like seventeen acres with extensive Hunter River frontage and panoramic views, this Californian Redwood country home isn’t just a Stibbard home, it’s the place the Stibbards themselves have called home for almost thirty years.

As you enter the home you are immediately aware of its size – a large built-in library, formal lounge and dining on one side and informal living on the other with a great open plan kitchen connecting the two which flows out to a sunroom with views over the river and flats to Brokenback Range. With panoramic windows and three metre high ceilings throughout, the property has four large bedrooms, three of which have built-in robes and the main with a walk-in robe and en-suite bathroom. There are many other features which put it well ahead of its time like the comfort glass in the sunroom and an endless number of added conveniences that are often overlooked in the construction of new homes – like the huge amount of storage (one of which would make a perfect wine cellar) and built-in ironing station and sewing centre.

Outside the property has established park-like gardens with extensive irrigation infrastructure and grassy spots down by the river’s edge perfect for a Sunday family barbeque. The driveways are sealed and lead to two separate double garages one of which has a loft for storage and an additional enclosed machinery storage area. If you’re interested, there is also a small productive olive grove that will ensure you have a lifetime supply of olive oil (and personalised Christmas presents).

The property is a quality country residence that you can move straight into and with some minor modernisation it will be everything a new house simply can’t be.

The owners are genuine and highly motivated – the property will be sold. Inspection is by private appointment.
