LOCATION
This fantastic property in Gleniffer is on 55 acres and is just 12 minutes (11.9km) from Bellingen and 35 minutes (48.9km) from Coffs Harbour.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
When the owners moved to the property four years ago, they embarked on the beautification of this stunning property; the main house is a fully renovated barn and the newly built office/studio nearby is everybodys dream of how work should be!
From the moment you drive along the roadway and through the gates of this magnificent property, the feeling is one of being in a special place.
The property holds an average of 100 breeders a few less in winter and the cattle yards, top of the line vet cattle crush with cement flooring plus 2 immaculately kept stables and tack room are in excellent condition. The property has 4 tallowwood, nail-less fenced paddocks which are perfect for horses and/or cattle. The property has in part been a Wagyu and Wagyu cross Angus boutique cattle breeding concern and no expense has been spared in its development.
The water supply to the house, gardens and studio is never ending thanks to an underground spring stream that covers the entire property. This is pristine, clean drinking water!
Enter the main house through an intricately handcrafted, wrought iron gate, take off your boots in the welcoming vestibule and walk through a solid wood and stainless steel studded door and be more than surprised at the open plan living areas. The living, dining and kitchen spaces lead through bi-fold doors (the width of the entire room) onto a 4m undercover entertaining, dining and relaxing terrace. The northern wall of the living area is fully louvred and so take advantage of the summer breezes. The veranda faces west-north-west, so it is perfectly positioned to sip on a fizzy drink in the evenings and watch the sun disappear into the mountain range in the distance. Magic!
The open kitchen has polished wood floods, stainless steel and milk glass wall and floor cupboards, a large prep area, 5 burner Ilve stove top with large grill and double oven and the most urban of touches – a caf bar opening out to veranda overlooking the most glorious views imaginable.
Across the wide, naturally lit and truss ceiling-ed passageway is an extra-spacious bathroom with 2 louvred walls, huge medieval chandelier, solid wooden benches, original claw bath and a polished concrete floor.
The airy laundry / pantry adjacent to kitchen, houses a large refrigerator and microwave and there is plenty of storage space for appliances and linen.
Further along the polished wood passageway is the office with broadband facilities and a day bed (for the unexpected guest), an extra large bedroom and homework room, then a second spacious bedroom with the same facility. These rooms enjoy the morning sun and all have louvres for free air flow, built-in wardrobing and cupboards and wonderful green views. A television/sitting room with a full glass tile wall is across the hall; as is the master bedroom with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and dressing room. The master bedroom has views across the property and the walk-in wardrobe and dressing room is spacious. The door at the end of the passageway leads to another deck out to the true Aussie clothesline and a machinery and ride-on mower shed.
The colours and textures combine glass, stainless steel, re-cycled timbers and terrazzo that give a rural contemporary feel beautifully designed and executed, with an obvious natural sense of style that will suit the most selective buyer.
Adjacent to the main house and under a huge tree and open sky stands a large wooden dining table perfect for candle lit dinners and leisurely Sunday lunches.
