Privately positioned on approximately one hectare of predominantly usable acreage, this exceptional owner-designed and built country estate captures sweeping southerly views across the picturesque Paterson Valley towards Maitland. Combining architectural individuality, contemporary luxury and outstanding versatility, the property presents a remarkable opportunity to embrace an enviable rural lifestyle without compromising on modern convenience.
Completed 2023, the substantial split-level residence has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light, privacy and its spectacular setting. With approximately 551m² of total living area, soaring 3-metre ceilings on the lower level and 2.7-metre ceilings above, the home delivers an impressive sense of space and proportion.
High-set sash windows, quality shutters throughout, automated rear blinds to preserve uninterrupted valley views and stylish hybrid flooring complement the home's refined interior. Five generous bedrooms, a dedicated study and expansive living zones provide exceptional flexibility for growing families, multigenerational households or those simply seeking room to spread out.
At the heart of the residence, a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen caters effortlessly to the aspiring chef and entertainer. Featuring striking 40mm waterfall stone benchtops, an extensive butler's pantry, clever pull-out cabinetry and integrated reverse-osmosis water filtration, this thoughtfully designed space combines sophisticated aesthetics with everyday functionality.
A purposefully incorporated stairlift provides convenient access between levels, offering an invaluable feature for those seeking substantial accommodation without compromising on accessibility as their needs evolve.
Outdoors, expansive entertaining decks constructed with composite decking overlooking the rolling countryside, providing an idyllic setting for relaxation and entertaining. A heated six-metre swim spa, complete with commercial-grade insulation and a 60km/h wind-rated covering, creates a private sanctuary for year-round enjoyment.
The gently undulating, predominantly usable grounds offer tremendous potential for hobby farming, recreational pursuits, gardening or simply embracing the space, privacy and freedom of country living.
Adding another dimension to this exceptional property is a completely separate, fully self-contained one-bedroom cottage, previously returning approximately $500 per week. The accommodation is ideally suited to extended family, independent living arrangements, visiting guests or supplementary rental income. The owners advise the property benefits from council-approved dual occupancy.
The supporting infrastructure is equally impressive. A substantial 9m x 7m shed, complemented by approximately 42m² of mezzanine space, incorporates an air-conditioned office, additional toilet and vanity facilities, and dedicated laundry provisions. Offering approximately 105m² across its two levels, this highly versatile space is ideal for home-based businesses, workshop activities or extensive storage requirements.
Further features include triple garaging, EV charging, combined 16kW solar systems, approximately 15kW of battery storage, town water, approximately 45,000 litres of rainwater storage, solar hot water servicing the main residence, security cameras, Starlink and NBN connectivity.
Despite its peaceful country setting and remarkable sense of seclusion, the property remains conveniently located just minutes from Maitland, with accessible connections to Paterson village, Newcastle and the wider Hunter region.
