Set across approx. 20.61 hectares of rolling green countryside & previously known as Karella Stud presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity, where heritage charm meets modern comfort in a truly picturesque setting.
At the heart of the property, the c.1920s homestead has been thoughtfully enhanced over time, now delivering a beautifully balanced blend of character and contemporary ease. From its inviting façade to its warm, light-filled interiors, the home exudes a sense of calm sophistication.
Inside, the residence reveals a series of welcoming spaces designed for relaxed family living. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a new stove and dishwasher, while adjoining dining and bedroom zones offer plush new carpet layered over original floorboards. In the living room, polished timber floors and a combustion fireplace create an atmosphere of understated luxury and comfort.
Soaring ceilings amplify the sense of space throughout, complemented by a refined palette, a tastefully renovated bathroom, and quality upgrades including split-system air conditioning, new ceiling fans and enhanced electricals.
Outdoors, two covered verandas provide elegant spaces to unwind, overlooking a cleared backyard that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
Beyond the home, the expansive grounds offer an impressive array of infrastructure, including four yards, three paddocks, eight shelters, a horse arena and two substantial dams. A substantial 18m x 6m four-bay farm shed with lock-up garage and a concrete floor adds further versatility, ideal for storage, machinery or workshop use.
Additional features include a double garage and double carport with single-phase power, irrigation servicing the grounds, and two separate power supplies enhancing functionality across the property.
Recent upgrades such as two new pumps, a 315L hot water system and approximately 57,000L of water storage ensure the property is as practical as it is beautiful.
Framed by expansive skies and breathtaking sunsets, this is a property that delivers a true sense of escape-without compromise. Enjoy the tranquillity of rural living just minutes from schools and the Hunter Expressway, with Rutherford and Kurri only 10 minutes away, Maitland under 15 minutes, and Newcastle's coastline within comfortable reach.
