Enjoy your own private parcel of rural paradise minutes from the city with this amazing Louth Park property.
Set amongst other large lifestyle blocks in the peaceful Waterforde estate, this 3.5 acre property is truly in a class of its own, with a gorgeous designer home, privacy from its neighbours and stunning rural and lagoon views that will never be built out.
The largest parcel of land in the estate, the property offers all the space you need to experience a traditional country lifestyle.
Come home to the sight of livestock grazing in the paddock, with a decorative windmill and surrounding farmlands creating an iconic Australian rural vista.
Previously run as a hobby farm with a flock of 20 sheep and an alpaca, the rear paddock would also provide an opportunity to scrap the agistment fees and enjoy having your horses on your own land.
Well equipped for farming, the property features an extensive 9m x 10m Colorbond shed in the rear paddock large enough to house all the machinery needed for a life on the land.
Custom 3.6m x 3.7m roller doors ensure the shed is large enough to house a caravan, horse float or boat, with built-in shelving and cabinets making it ideal for use as a mechanics workshop.
A range of home business opportunities exist at this property, subject to council approval.
Double garages on either end of the home provide ample car accommodation, however an epoxy floor coating and hot and cold plumbing make the second garage the ideal space to convert into a home hairdressing salon or other small business.
For those not interested in working from home, the garage is also a great space for anyone wanting to keep fit, with large fixed mirrors on the walls and a built-in storage cupboard creating the perfect setting for a fully decked out gym.
The home itself has a spacious, versatile room accessible from the open plan living area that could be used as an office, however built-in wardrobe space also allows it to become the fifth bedroom.
The other four bedrooms are grouped at one end of the house, together with the family bathroom.
Plush carpet in a deep grey tone, which has been newly laid, creates a feeling of luxury throughout these generously-sized bedrooms, which have built-in wardrobes as well as plenty of space to create individual study areas in each.
Grand and inviting, the master suite is an oasis of calm for parents, with his and hers wardrobes that you walk through to access the spacious ensuite.
A gloss white wall-hung vanity and above counter basin provide a contemporary finish, softened by the rich tones of the timber benchtop.
Floor-to-ceiling tiles and a large shower recess with indulgent rain showerhead complete the lavish look in this ensuite, while the main bathroom is similarly well-appointed, with frameless shower screens, a deep bath in a beautifully tiled hob and a large vanity with ample storage.
The remainder of the ranch-style home is dedicated to expansive living areas, with a large media room off the entry foyer ideally separated from the rest of the house to allow you to watch the latest blockbusters without disturbing the rest of the family.
Additional living spaces are located in the vast open plan area that runs along the back of the home, with a wall of doors and windows providing glimpses of greenery and a hint of the spectacular view over the rest of the property to the surrounding farmlands.
Bay windows at either end of this room help to create more intimate spaces, while the easy flow from the living area through to the gourmet kitchen makes it ideal for large families or those who love to entertain.
Hard-wearing timber-look vinyl planks provide a practical and aesthetically pleasing flooring that seamlessly connects the various living spaces and the entry, adding warmth to the neutral tones of the walls and window coverings.
Sleek white satin finished cabinetry and a vast expanse of 40mm Essastone benchtops create a classic, contemporary kitchen space that will make you the envy of your friends.
The wraparound bench and breakfast bar accommodates up to seven people for a casual meals option, or as a great place for the kids to sit for an after-school snack while they do their homework.
Handleless underbench and overhead soft closing drawers and cupboards create a minimalist, streamlined look while offering ample storage space, while additional cabinetry on the rear of the raised kitchen bench provide an easily accessible space for school supplies or napery and accessories for the dining room.
Stainless steel appliances including an impressive Smeg 900mm freestanding six-burner gas stove and electric oven add to the kitchens deluxe appearance, complemented by the striking grey splashback featuring beautifully textured tiles.
A concealed cavity sliding door provides access to the laundry from the kitchen, making it the ideal space to be transformed into a luxurious butlers pantry if desired.
A spacious area, the laundry has already been fitted out with a range of built-in cabinetry and a laminate benchtop, as well as a cool white tiled splashback and single basin laundry tub with chrome mixer tap. It provides access to both the side yard, where the clothesline has been concealed from view with established hedges, as well as the main double garage.
A classic country homestead wouldnt be complete without extensive outdoor entertaining areas and this property certainly doesnt disappoint there.
A large fully enclosed alfresco area is accessible through the main living areas, with screening right around the space allowing you to leave the internal sliding door open to create an indoor outdoor flow without the risk of flies.
Large enough to comfortably house a dining table and lounge setting, the all-weather alfresco area is the perfect spot to enjoy a barbecue all year round, with views over the surrounding rural landscape.
With summer on its way the large pool area adjacent to the alfresco is sure to be a hit with the kids, with a 4.5m x 12m in-ground saltwater pool large enough to cater for all of their friends.
Families with younger kids will also appreciate the trampoline and adventure playground surrounded by sand, which are sure to provide hours of entertainment, while the sheer size of the property means there is plenty of room in the large fenced house paddock for the ultimate game of hide and seek.
A fenced chicken coop concealed behind established planting allows you the luxury of fresh eggs from your own back yard, while several raised garden beds are ready and waiting for a new crop of vegetables and herbs to be sown.
Established hedges in both the front and rear house paddocks create the ultimate sense of privacy for this property, while extensive bush-rock bordered gardens featuring flourishing feature trees and flowering shrubs create a lush green landscape dotted with colour.
The yard has been carefully landscaped making it easy to look after, with curved edging allowing the house paddocks to be maintained with a ride-on mower in under 45 minutes, giving you more time to sit back and relax while you take in the panoramic views from the property.
The semi-rural atmosphere comes with the added bonus of Louth Parks central location, making the property just 10 minutes from the retail hub of Green Hills or the revitalised Maitland CBD. Ready access to the Hunter Expressway also makes a trip to the vineyards, the Upper Hunter or the beaches of Newcastle within easy reach.
