Put the day behind you as you drive down the windy road that leads you home, passing through the post and rail timber entry and up the gravel drive to find that certain slice of paradise that can only be offered by the Hunter Valley.
The entrance to the property's large residence is set within an undercover concrete verandah with garden edging, making for a perfect spot to kick off your shoes and sit back to admire the expansive view. High-quality, timber-look flooring lies underfoot in the entrance foyer, sweeping through the central hall which provides a thoughtful divide between the living and sleeping spaces.
Five bedrooms all sit to the south of the floorplan, each of which offering plush, grey carpets, built-in wardrobes, and roller blinds over the sleep-in-friendly southern windows. Bedroom five is surrounded by a secondary living area and study nook with external access, making for an excellent guest space or an independent teenager's retreat.
The master suite commands a larger footprint, providing its occupants with a large, walk-in robe, double windows, and a generously sized ensuite with high-end fixings and a sleek, modern design.
A main bathroom also sits off this central hall, echoing and expanding on the design choices in the master's ensuite with sleek, dark tilework underfoot and crisp, white tilework and cabinetry. A three-way design keeps the space functional, holding the deep, hobbed bath and freestanding shower independent from the toilet, with a large his-and-hers vanity room servicing both areas.
Central to the floorplan sits the bright, high-end kitchen, which provides stainless steel appliances, a Caesarstone benchtop and breakfast bar island, a double-door fridge space and a large butler's pantry. The dark timber cabinetry blends seamlessly with the neutral palette of the countertops and splashbacks to create a design that is both aesthetic and subtle, while the galley-style design keeps the space contained yet open.
A dining space extends from the kitchen, sitting on the same timber-look flooring while offering views of the expansive outdoor greenery, with a slow-burning combustion fireplace on the rear wall to keep the entire space warm all winter.
A large, dedicated lounge sits around the corner from the dining area, offering carpets underfoot and multiple glass windows to keep the space bright and open. The inviting nature and large footprint of the room provides the perfect space for entertaining guests or catching up with the family, while the plush carpet and neighbouring fireplace create a cosy spot to curl up in on a cold winter's night.
Glass sliding doors access the sleek downlights and brushed concrete of the undercover patio to the home's north, which will make outdoor meals and events a necessity in the warmer months. The high, overhead ceiling provides reprieve from the Australian sun during the middle of the day, while the northern aspect permits the setting sun to warm the space before it sets over the mountains.
The surrounding grounds are as lush as they are expansive, with stands of established Eucalypt trees and raised, natural gardens attracting a wealth of native bird species to admire, while multiple separate paddocks, two sheep shelters, a large stock dam, and a chicken coop make functional use of the land.
A large, 20 x 7.5m Colorbond shed sits to the west of the residence, providing ample space for the weekend toys and heavy-duty tooling with its built-in floodlights, 1-tone electric crane, and an attached workshop space with a workbench. Two large poly rainwater storage tanks sit behind the shed, with an extra 80,000L Rhino Colorbond tank to the east.
While 120 Lomandra Circuit's picturesque surroundings and silent nights might feel worlds away, Paterson's riverside town centre sits just 8 minutes from home, offering residents a small supermarket, medical practice, a café, multiple parks, and the local Paterson Tavern.
Getting into Maitland CBD's larger list of amenities and attractions, including the expansive Stockland Green Hills shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, will take just 22 minutes along easy country roads, while Newcastle's gorgeous coastline and café culture is accessible in under an hour along the A43.
From the sweeping vistas, distant hills, and abundant avian wildlife, to the stunning home, superbly utilised block, and excellent location; properties like this Paterson acreage are rare to come to market and rarer still to last.
