HUNTER VALLEY COUNTRY HOME

Set on top of 100 acres in the picturesque Hunter Valley, this beautiful New England Country Home has breathtaking views as far as the eye can see and is nearby the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues of Wine Country. Serenely peaceful and exclusively private, it is still only 15 minutes to the Hunter Expressway taking you direct to Newcastle, the Central Coast and Sydney. A perfect tree-change to a more sustainable lifestyle or weekend home with strong income potential, this is a rare offering in the current market.<br/><br/>At the end of a quiet country lane, among fields of grazing cattle and open district views, post and rail gates and a winding sealed driveway lead you to park-like grounds with beautiful established trees and more phenomenal views. Wide covered verandas hug most sides of the home and a porte cochere ensure you stay dry when the skies open. Stepping inside, beautiful oak floorboards, soaring ceilings, cedar doors, windows and joinery speak to the quality of the build and the timelessness of the architecture. A large open-plan living and dining off a modern country kitchen with walk-in pantry and stone tops flows to the screened outdoor room where you would sip-away the worries of the day. Double hung windows and beautiful French doors are numerous and cleverly positioned to provide abundant light and maximise the views and natural airflow. Reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, ceiling fans throughout and a crackling wood-burning fireplace ensure comfort all year round and a 5Kw solar system decreases the carbon footprint of a new life in the tree tops. <br/><br/>In addition to the main home, a second two-bedroom fully self-contained cottage is in keeping with the architecture and has ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning and full kitchen. It is an ideal space for parents, adult children or for additional guest accommodation (and income). <br/><br/>Outside, a covered BBQ area provides another outdoor living space and a large machinery shed with three phase power is insulated and partially lined with three rooms and shower and toilet making it ideal for a workshop, hobbies, home office or additional friends and family. The versatile land is rolling with pockets of lightly timbered mature gums which not only make the property more interesting, ensuring hours of adventure and fun for walking, horse or bike riding also provide ample shade and protection for stock. Two great dams provide ample water. <br/><br/>Inspect: By private appointment.<br/>Price Guide: - $2,500,000
