You can pinch yourself, but it’s not a dream, it’s just a rare opportunity that a property like this could become your home. Many imagine that their lifestyle could become so enriched by a wonderful home, possessing everything that a family would want, surrounded by a beautiful environment and within minutes of the Hunters wineries, fine dining restaurants, golf courses, and concert venues and also be within 2 hours of Sydney.
Originally the mine managers home, this original weatherboard residence with its wide return verandahs is impressive in stature externally, standing very stately upon its spacious just under one acre holding, but equally it’s grand proportions are reflected internally. A wide hallway and high ceilings are the first of many endearing features to excite the senses, and as you move through, each room possesses that special something, such as French doors to the verandah, fireplaces, coloured glass in the windows or doors, polished floor boards or timber lining boards on the walls, and its these decorative touches that are so enchanting. The perfect family home, there are 4 very generous bedrooms, formal lounge and dining areas and a gorgeous light drenched open plan kitchen/casual meals/living space at the rear which takes in the vast backyard to the inground pool and garage/loft building. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an abundance of drawers, a substantial pantry, 900 mm gas cooker and 40 mm stone benchtops. Recently renovated and blending perfectly is the bathroom where a little timeout can be a luxury in itself in the freestanding bath.
For when the high ceilings and ceiling fans just aren’t enough to keep the heat at bay, there is ducted air conditioning throughout, and on a cold dreary winters day you won’t beat the heat and ambience of the combustion fire.
The garage/loft building is a wonderful building in itself. Built to be in keeping with the homestead, it has 3 phase power connected, its own covered verandah area, is lined, insulated and has a full sized bathroom with spa, storeroom, polished timber floors to the upper level, sweet dormer windows and once again it looks out over the pool. It not only provides accommodation for vehicles but would be a great workshop, entertainment area, games room, man cave, area to operate a business from home, teenage retreat etc.
A team of 24 solar panels are a modern addition so that enjoying all that the home has to offer is never given a second thought.
A timeless landmark property that will always be the envy of others, where the current owners have built so many fond memories with family and friends and now it’s your turn.
