Stunning country-style acreage

Make the ultimate tree-change and relocate to the picturesque village of Vacy, where this stunning property will deliver the designer home and rural lifestyle you've always wanted.

Featuring a spectacular 9,470sqm (2.34 acre) lot studded with towering gum trees, the property has instant kerbside appeal with a traditional timber gated front entry and fenced boundary lined with Japanese box hedges, while flowering ash trees have been planted on either side of the gravel driveway leading down to the house, setting the scene for a grand entryway in years to come.

The home itself looks like it was plucked straight out of a lifestyle magazine for sophisticated country homesteads, with its elegant HardiePlank weatherboard cladding, light Colobond roof and beautiful verandah, which runs across the full length of the façade and is bordered by flourishing cottage-style gardens.

Step inside the timber and glass French doors and you'll find the same sense of refined elegance throughout the interior, from the matte finish bamboo flooring that seamlessly connects the entry foyer to the adjoining open plan living areas, to the plush grey carpet that adds a sense of cosy comfort in the home's bedrooms.

The custom-designed property has a versatile layout that can be reimagined depending on your needs, with room for up to five bedrooms complete with built-in wardrobes for the largest of families, while those with lower accommodation needs can easily reinvent excess space as a dedicated home office or media room.

The generously proportioned bedrooms are grouped in their own separate wing to the left of the entry foyer for added peace and privacy, together with a stylish family bathroom, separate powder room and tranquil parents' retreat complete with expansive walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite.

An abundance of linen cupboards provide more than enough storage options in this end of the house, while the oversized laundry located off the kitchen also has an impressive array of built-in cupboards and cabinetry.

The gourmet kitchen is a focal point of the vast living space that fills out the other end of this custom home, with gleaming white country-style cabinetry complete with vintage-style shell handles beautifully contrasting against the sleek dark coloured Caesarstone benchtops.

The kitchen features a lower breakfast bar with room to seat two people, while a higher servery-style benchtop conceals the functional elements of the space from the adjoining dining and living area.

Quality stainless steel appliances and a large walk-in pantry ensure the kitchen is practical as well as pretty, while a servery window with glass sliders creates a convenient connection with the external built-in timber bar in the alfresco area.

The huge open plan living and dining area adjoining the kitchen is the true heart of this home, providing a spacious area where families can come together to relax together or entertain guests.

A country home isn't complete without a slow combustion wood-fired heater, which provides a cosy welcome in this living space, while ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning provides climate controlled comfort throughout.

Sliding glass doors next to the fire create a seamless connection between the internal and external living and entertaining spaces, with a huge alfresco area and wraparound verandah running along the full rear of the home and across to the detached Colorbond double garage and carport extension.

The alfresco area is the ideal spot to sit and enjoy the serenity of your surroundings while also keeping an eye on the children swimming in the nearby 12m-long resort-style pool.

The youngest members of the family will also love the impressive children's playground area, which features two large shade sails to provide protection from the sun, while the family's four-legged members will appreciate the separately fenced dog yard, which has its own large permanent shelter with a covered verandah, concrete floor and timber dog bed base.

The long list of external features continues with an established orchard that will provide you with a bountiful harvest of fruit, while three large rainwater storage tanks and a 7,000L river water storage tank with 40,000L per month allocation of river water for irrigation will ensure the property won't run dry.

Tech-savvy buyers will love this home's state-of-the-art inclusions, from the Bluetooth-controlled irrigation system to the eight-camera security system with 1TB hard drive and remote mobile app connectivity.

Ideally located in the picturesque rural community of Vacy, this property combines country charm with proximity to the amenities of larger urban centres including Maitland and Raymond Terrace, which are less than 30 minutes away.

The nearby suburb of Paterson offers a range of essential amenities including a small supermarket, local butcher and medical practice as well as a charming café and historic pub, while the surrounding areas provide plenty of recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts including access to the Paterson River.
