With stunning views of the Watagan and Corrabare mountain ranges, this boutique lifestyle farm is perfectly positioned to enjoy the many pleasures of the Hunter Valley.
Situated in the Quorrobolong Valley on a school bus route, just 10 minutes drive to Cessnock's CBD, approximately 20 minutes to Pokolbin, Lovedale and Mount View's wine tourist regions where you can enjoy a myriad of fine restaurants, cellar doors, concert venues and golf courses, under 1 hour to Merewether Beach and 1hr 40 minutes to the heart of Sydney.
Postcard pretty the 89 acre property with a history of pasture improvement is relatively flat, easy to manage, fenced into 15 stock paddocks with new cattle yards and is well watered by 10 dams, a permanent creek and 12 megalitre Water Access Licence. With riding trails less than 1km away, the property is ideally suited to cattle or horses.
The emphasis on lifestyle is magnified by the quality improvements. The original federation cottage has been sympathetically restored and extended, ensuring old world charm blends beautifully with modern conveniences. Featuring high ceilings throughout, the original home with its timber-lined ceilings and walls has three large bedrooms all with French doors to the return verandah, the main with an ensuite and walk-in robe. The hallway, with decorative arch and dado rails also features a grand built-in bookshelf. Separating the old from the new is a large entry foyer, with louvered windows to capture the breeze, leading to a large open plan modern kitchen, dining and living space which in turn opens onto a large covered entertainment deck overlooking the paddocks, inground pool and mountains.
Adjacent to the home, is a semi self-contained two storey studio with bathroom, laundry, open plan kitchenette, dining and living area downstairs and two oversized bedrooms upstairs. Both the home and the studio enjoy wood fires, ceiling fans and air conditioners, ensuring your comfort year-round.
Easily classified as the perfect rural lifestyle property, this rural gem would suit permanent living, a weekend retreat or upmarket short-term holiday let.
