1353 New England Highway, Harpers Hill NSW 2321

Located on the very top of Harpers Hill in the picturesque Hunter Valley, this property offers sensational views from the valley floor to the Brokenback and Barrington ranges, significant equine infrastructure, a lit cutting or dressage arena with viewing pavilion, a very large double-brick lodge and ample machinery shedding. Located moments from the Hunter Expressway taking you direct to Newcastle and Sydney in less than one and two hours respectively, the property is also on the doorstep to Maitland as well as the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues of Wine Country.

As you arrive, a hand-built sandstone entry complete with forged metal gate is planted out with beautiful Iceberg roses and all sits beneath a canopy of Jacarada trees and Fig trees. From there, you can go up the hill to the equine facilities or stay down the bottom in the house yard which is fully fenced and features pet enclosures and an integrated outdoor fireplace with BBQ and bench seat.

At the top of the property, a huge cutting or dressage arena, a round yard and associated equine and bovine infrastructure are perfect for any enthusiast. A fully enclosed viewing pavilion, excellent lighting, seven stables, wash bay with feed and tack room and vet crush leave nothing to do. Nine paddocks, all with shelters are cleverly connected by shared space or laneways making it very useable and perfect for an agistment business and with the bonus of an automatic watering system to all paddocks and yards. The oversized machinery shed at the bottom of the property adds even greater storage potential as well as undercover float storage. The entire property is presented immaculately.

The home is substantial in size and of double-brick construction. It offers three very large living areas, the largest of these in the centre of the home with a massive open sandstone fireplace. Adjoining the main living area is a country kitchen with stone tops and stainless appliances, a billiard room and a fully self-contained guest suite with its own en-suite and full kitchen – perfect for two families living together, adult children or guests. The two living spaces can be opened or closed off easily thanks to a massive hand-made hardwood barn door constructed of recycled timber.

At the other end of the home, an elaborate main bedroom with its own private study, walk-in robe and huge en-suite. Another two bedrooms, one with an original fireplace, takes the total count to four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Finally, a large rumpus, teenagers retreat, home office or cinema completes the picture with a triple undercover carport. The home being double brick is comfortable all year round but of course can be assisted by the reverse cycle air conditioning or wood-burning fire. An undercover outdoor area which opens from the main living area through a wall of bi-fold doors also makes summer entertaining a breeze.
