Driving down a serene country road, past gently swaying gums and rolling green, you arrive at the grand iron gates of Clifden House. A name that carries with it a sense of timeless grace, Clifden House is a rare offering that blends equestrian excellence with refined family living, all nestled in the highly sought after haven of Harkaway, renowned for its prestigious acreage lifestyle.
Set on 5 acres of pristine land, where the rhythm of country life meets elegant design, this is more than a home – it's a sanctuary.
From the moment you arrive, the serenity is unmistakable. Rolling paddocks, three in total, stretch out before you - thoughtfully equipped with stables, a float shed, hay shed, a fitted-out tack shed, and auto-filling water troughs, all serviced by 30,000 litres of water tanks dedicated to the paddocks. The stables also feature a hot and cold water wash bay for added convenience. A well-maintained sand arena invites early morning rides, while birdsong and gentle breezes set the soundtrack for your day. The property is also fitted with a bitumen driveway extending all the way down to the paddocks for ease of access.
Yet this is more than a home for horses - it's a lifestyle for the whole family.
Step inside, and you'll find a residence designed with both comfort and sophistication in mind. Four spacious bedrooms are perfectly zoned for family life - the master suite, positioned privately at the front, offers a peaceful retreat, while the remaining bedrooms are tucked away along a quiet rear hallway.
There's a formal living room warmed by a charming canara fireplace, the ideal space to curl up with a book and take in the sweeping views of your property. A separate study and a library that doubles as a formal dining room offer versatility and an air of timeless elegance.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen truly shines. Stone waterfall benchtops, quality induction cooking, an adjoining bar, and a built-in Teppanyaki grill/indoor BBQ (positioned just inside the door to the pool area) make entertaining effortless. Overlooking the family room, dining area, and alfresco space, it keeps you connected to every moment, from dinner parties to casual weekend brunches.
In the family room, another canara promises cozy nights in, while the seamless flow to the outdoors creates a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Outside, beyond the equestrian facilities, you'll find a sparkling inground pool and a dedicated pool room complete with a private bathroom and its own split system - ideal for guests or teenagers wanting their own space. There's even an outdoor toilet for pool and garden convenience. Car enthusiasts or tradespeople will appreciate not one, but two oversized double garages, plus additional shedding. For animal lovers, a double bird aviary adds charm and character to the grounds.
Nature lovers will appreciate the meticulously designed gardens featuring hundreds of tree varieties, while an area already fitted out for a potential granny flat provides scope for extended family or guest accommodation.
Inside the home, year-round comfort is ensured with zoned refrigerated air conditioning and ducted heating (two systems servicing the home), and high ceilings throughout enhance the feeling of space. Hydronic floor heating and a powder room add to the list of thoughtful inclusions. The home is fed by a substantial 140,000-litre underground water tank system, offering self-sufficiency and peace of mind.
This is more than a home, it's a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of the most tightly held and admired pockets of the southeast. A place where horses roam, families grow, and memories are made under wide Harkaway skies.
