One of the Clare Valley's earliest and most gracious country homes is being offered for sale by Ray White Clare Valley. Only four family names have graced the halls of this stately Georgian style home since its original construction in 1867.
Blending modern lifestyle facilities with the warmth, character and charm of its era, its design is based on the hunting lodge at Windsor Castle.
The stylishly renovated solid timber kitchen has laminated Corian bench-tops and is sure to impress the keen home chef with a 5 burner gas cook top with wok and fish burner, electric convection oven (ILVE) and twin fan air extractors. There is a formal dining room adjoining, however the present owners have used this as their home theatre room.
The master bedroom, having wonderful garden views, offers a large walk through robe and spacious en-suite with spa. A large formal lounge or parents retreat adjoins.
Two additional guest bedrooms each have their own private study or there is scope for additional bedrooms if required.
Storage area is a feature of the extra large laundry with workbench.
In keeping with its era, there is a large dry cellar, perfect for storing the best of the wonderful Clare Valley wines
There is an outdoor paved entertaining area overlooking the lovely, quiet and peaceful gardens which surround this magnificent residence. An 8m x 12m colorbond garage/shed with power and concrete flooring complete the package.
This outstanding character home has all of the necessary modern renovations including new wiring, new plumbing, new gutters and new facias but its beautiful stonework, pressed tin and plaster ceilings, old baltic pine flooring throughout and classic french doors and windows in magnificent Australian and Western Red Cedar let the visitor appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The classic but modern heating system keeps each room warm throughout the Clare winter.
