A Hunter Valley icon and landmark, Peacock Hill, in the heart of Hunter Valley Wine Country is being offered for sale for the first time in more than 25 years.
Sitting among the Hunter's most prized vineyards, this boutique parcel of 20 acres offers a substantial home, two bedroom guest accommodation, cellar door, Manager's Residence, a massive underground storage cellar, a machinery shed, 20Kw solar power and park-like grounds with huge shady Jacarandas and Peppercorn trees and a tennis court.
The main residence offers generous living spaces including a games room with full size snooker table, a first floor formal dining room with wrap-around verandas, an amazing commercial grade kitchen with stainless and stone tops, an atrium as well as oversized bedrooms and a home office. Adjoining is a two bedroom, two bathroom guest lodge and cellar door from which a very successful high-end wine business is operated.
In addition, a Manager's Residence was constructed more recently and has been structurally engineered to be converted to a restaurant (stca). It offers breathtaking views over the surrounding vineyards as well as a huge underground temperature controlled wine storage cellar that is large enough to be a winery space (stca).
