HUNTER VALLEY / PORT STEPHENS

Features:
This stunning stone home has that classical relaxed ‘just fit in’ atmosphere. Perched upon a hill with 360° (interrupted) views of valleys and hills in the distance, this home is built from local stone (bush rock) extremely thick walls, making it naturally environmentally efficient, warm in winter and cool in summer.

The window frames are solid hardwood, and the mostly high and airy natural raked ceilings feature cypress and western red cedar.

Lovely fireplaces, (air conditioning if required), carpet and slate flooring, an outdoor African courtyard in the middle of the homestead to enjoy the uniqueness of winter sun protected living and enjoying the evening stars with a ‘chardonnay’.

Gorgeous modern bathrooms (three of them), huge bedrooms, 4/5 plus study and loft. There is a formal lounge and dining room with large picture bay window and huge open fireplace. Then there is a cordon bleu commercially approved kitchen (for B&B and similar purposes). This Tasmanian oak timber kitchen with Caesar stone bench tops is beautifully laid out with large ovens, gas etc. There is also an everyday dining area open plan off the kitchen plus a large family room and a large separate rumpus room.

With verandahs on all four sides to enjoy any time of the year, there is a large entertaining deck, partly covered, cantilevered tree top style with fabulous facilities and a glorious outlook atmosphere by day and night. Next to this is a large solar heated covered pool with all facilities.

This relaxing country homestead (a feature is low maintenance) is approximately 50 squares plus verandah, plus garaging, plus granny flat and garage.

There is another large outdoor area for entertaining, fernery, huge bird aviary etc.

The natural gardens and surrounds are delightful with native flora and fauna abounding (literally) wallabies on your lawn, lorikeets on the deck etc, the list goes on.
