Theres a sweeping bend in the Hunter River forming what almost looks like a plump peninsula not too far out of Maitland.
Pointing to the north and offering almost 360 degree views over the surrounding lush countryside wrapped by the river, where else would you build? This is a perfect place to call home.
Completed six years ago, youd be forgiven for mistaking the home as almost brand new. Contemporary finishes, quality materials and attention to detail during the construction has resulted in a home that is truly timeless.
Defined by an understated elegance, the aesthetics of the dwelling complement the sublime surroundings rather than trying to compete. There is a strong connection between the indoor spaces and the spectacular outdoor scenery.
Banks of glass windows and doors wrap around the north facing alfresco area to embrace the picturesque outlook while natural light illuminates the interiors.
Polished ivory porcelain floor tiles reflect light around the entire internal space creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere throughout the home. Leave your television behind; instead, be entertained by the ever changing light over the surrounding landscape. Watch as the days and seasons progress. Enjoy magical sunsets over the river all year round. In summer, enjoy evening meals on the covered alfresco area while in winter, relocate inside into the warm U shaped living space maximising views over the river.
The central kitchen is presented in contrasting white gloss soft closing cabinetry with 40mm charcoal granite benchtops.
Effortlessly deliver meals to the adjacent dining area or via French doors to the alfresco area. Stainless steel Miele appliances complete this equally stylish and practical kitchen.
A king sized master bedroom to the east offers a peaceful and refreshing private retreat. French doors open to the verandah and windows each side look across neat lawns out to the twinkling water in the Hunter River.
The ensuite, like the main bathroom, is beautifully presented. Stacked stone walls differ slightly in tone while frameless glass showers and floating vanities increase the perceived size of the spaces.
The free standing bath in the main bathroom looks out over the paddocks where you can watch horses quietly graze as you relax. Two additional bedrooms have built-in cupboards and ceiling fans for comfort.
The formal double door main entry is next to the oversized double garage with additional storage space. There is a covered passage from the garage via the formal entry into the home.
High ceilings, recessed LEDs, a large functional laundry and neat triple stepped cornices throughout the home elevate the overall appeal and quality finish of this well planned home.
In addition to the beautiful home, there are many more features and improvements to take into consideration.
A separate self-contained cottage has been refurbished and is well presented in a modern, open plan layout. Ideally oriented, large windows facing the river have excellent views while naturally illuminating the interior. Comfortable all year round, a combustion fire efficiently heats the space in winter and a split system air conditioner is useful in summer. It is perfect for the extended family or visiting guests.
The 30 acre lot has an abundance of natural assets. A private beach on the river is a wonderful spot to spend long summer days. Further along, a boat ramp opens up the possibilities for a whole raft of recreational activities. Fishing, water skiing, canoeing and kayaking are a few of the fun outdoor activities to divert kids away from their screens.
Other existing infrastructure takes advantage of the vast space including several secure paddocks with self-watering troughs enclosed by timber post and rail fencing. Strategically planted trees provide shade and privacy plus there is a professionally sized arena with seating to watch riders practise.
An established agistment business is moderately stocked and comprised of mostly self-care horses. It is another source of income contributing around $985 per week.
A large stable and wash area store dry food and a large machinery shed opposite has twin oversized bays and extra storage area inside. There are just so many more features, the property is best seen in person to really appreciate everything it has to offer.
