23 Peppertree Drive, Pokolbin NSW 2320

Set on 865m2 in the middle of the famous Hunter Valley wine growing region among restaurants, vineyards and concert venues, this sprawling home is perfectly private, super low maintenance and very generous in proportions. It is only 45 minutes from the beaches of Newcastle and two hours to the CDB of Sydney. Aperol spritz anyone?

Clipped hedges, lush citrus trees and stacked stonework set a very European tone as you arrive and stepping inside the cedar windows, soaring ceilings and beautifully polished hardwood floors are a nod to the quality of the build. A huge open plan living space centres around a beautiful gas log fire and flows seamlessly through multiple sets of French doors to a covered loggia with yet another wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent to the main living space is a very generous kitchen with European appliances, stone tops and informal breakfast or dining room. Also off the main living space is a another formal dining space, double garage with internal access and a home office or fourth bedroom.

In one wing of the home are two very large bedrooms with built-in robes and a beautiful sun-filled main bathroom with deep-soak tub overlooking the laden lemon trees. On another wing, the master suite has a double size walk-in robe, French doors which open to the garden and a limestone ensuite again with beautiful light from windows showcasing the autumn colours of the established pear trees. A great laundry with walk-in storage or wine cellar complete the offering and reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning keep the home comfortable all year round.

Town water, sewer and gas are connected as well as NBN to allow anyone to work from home. The home is surrounded by leafy parklands and long winding walkways that lead you to the clubhouse, day spa, tennis courts and pool. This is a perfect tree change to the country or an amazing opportunity to buy a holiday home and rent it when you're not using it.

Inspection by private appointment.
