Circa 1880, this landmark York building could be the home of your dreams. The sheer grandness and scale of this prestigious 2 storey country manor will definately impress you. Starting with the grounds, the property consists of 6 scenic acres with breathtaking views to Mount Bakewell, extensive manicured gardens, a large below ground pool, a garage/studio, a quality bore producing around 30,000 litres per day, mature olive grove, room for horses/sheep and there’s even a 1 acre vineyard with 900 Shiraz vines.
The property was originally a 200 acre farm and was a gift to a Dr Hope. Originally built in 1880, its humble beginnings were as a 2 room cottage made of mud bricks, stone and iron. A large extension heading towards the road was added in around 1907. Further major renovations and extensions were carried out in around 1982, leaving a superb example of a modernised “Victorian” style home.
