Immaculately presented and exuding timeless sophistication, this impressive modern residence on 1.4 acres (0.56ha) is arguably the most beautiful home in the Hernani district. Every element has been crafted with care and precision, resulting in a property that is as functional as it is breathtaking.
Set well back off Armidale Road and amid picturesque rural surrounds, the home welcomes you with manicured gardens, established trees, and the gentle sound of birdsong — the perfect backdrop to a life of country serenity. Established, productive fruit trees are also scattered throughout the garden, including peach, apple, orange, and plum varieties. A wide front verandah spanning the entire length of the home enhances the grand country feel and invites quiet moments of relaxation.
Inside, a grand sense of scale unfolds. Expansive open-plan living zones flow effortlessly from the massive kitchen and family area to a formal living and dining room, and further still to a spectacular entertaining and pool room — an entertainer’s dream. Polished timber floors, plantation shutters, and ornate cornices create a refined aesthetic that is both warm and inviting, while double-glazed windows throughout enhance comfort and energy efficiency without compromising style.
The gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece in itself, featuring lavish stone benchtops, dual ovens (including one with steam capabilities), a gas cooktop, premium Miele appliances, beautiful 2-pac cabinetry, a generous butler’s pantry, and abundant storage. Whether cooking for family or hosting a large gathering, this space offers both luxury and practicality.
The home comprises four spacious bedrooms with built-ins, including a luxurious master suite complete with a walk-in robe and an elegant ensuite boasting a freestanding bath and further enhanced by heated towel rails, adding an extra touch of indulgence. A sizeable study with built-in desk and additional storage cabinetry provides the ideal work-from-home environment, while the large, functional laundry with ample bench space and storage ensures every practical need is met.
Comfort is assured year-round with ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and a cosy wood heater. The remote double garage offers secure parking and storage.
Outside, the beauty continues — a private rural haven surrounded by space, rural outlook, and the tranquillity of country living. Conveniently located just 10 minutes to Ebor, with nearby trout fishing streams, 30 minutes to Dorrigo, around an hour to Armidale in the New England region, and approximately 1.5 hours to both Grafton and the beautiful Coffs Coast, this is the perfect blend of luxury, lifestyle, and location.
Adding to the appeal, major upgrades to the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre are on the horizon, including the creation of the spectacular Dorrigo Arc Rainforest Centre and the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk — a new 46-kilometre trail through World Heritage rainforest that will further enhance the region’s natural beauty and appeal.
10181 Armidale Road, Hernani is more than a home — it’s a statement of elegance and comfort, a true rural retreat where every day feels like an escape.
