If you desire something different and like the feel of being transported to medieval times this miniature castle is a perfect period piece yet only built in the late 1970s. Constructed with huge sandstone blocks from an old church in Balmain and set on 5 acres of rolling lawns, manicured gardens with stone walls and steps as well as water features and ornate garden statues.

Located in Middle Dural, there are 2 houses on this tranquil property with garden views from all windows, both displaying rare qualities you would only expect to find in parts of Europe. Enter via the automatic security gates assuring your privacy to a sweeping driveway and into a majestic setting with distant views from high on the hill.

The land features a wide frontage with an extra large in-ground pool (new heater and pumps), a 20ft fish pond, 2 stables and shed plus separate covered double carport and 2 car automatic garage with internal access to the main house. Surrounding the property are 6ft high security fences for animals.

The larger of the 2 residences is approx 40squares in size and consists of 4 bedrooms all with built in robes, the main bathroom has its own en-suite with walk in sunken spa, 9ft long and 5ft deep, a luxury to rejuvenate the body at the end of the day. There is also a spacious loft above the garage that can be utilized as additional sleeping accommodation or storage or teenager’s retreat, anything really. The large formal lounge room is enhanced with a circular sandstone pylon fireplace, own cellar and sunny bay windows. Interiors are adorned with treated pine ceilings and feature walls, original drapes and light fittings.

The smaller home (approx 30squares), provides 2 bedroom accommodation as well as an attic for either an office, storage or guest room. With a glorious sun room, library and 2 very large open plan living areas, this charming home is perfect for the extended family
