280 Old North Road, Pokolbin NSW 2320

Set among lush gardens, a small citrus and fig orchard and olive grove, this gorgeous three bedroom, two bathroom cottage offers serene views, an in-ground pool spa and still has further development potential. It is located in the highly sought-after Hermitage Road precinct in Hunter Valley Wine Country making it minutes to restaurants, vineyards and the concert venues and is only around an hour from Newcastle and two hours from Sydney.

The polished timber boards, bespoke cabinetry and sandstone double-sided fireplace provide an immediate impression – quality and luxury. Sun-bathed open living spaces connects the luxurious kitchen with Miele appliances to the lounge and covered outdoor area. The main bedroom enjoys the other side of the main fireplace and is ensuited with two person freestanding spa tub and huge shower. At the other end of the cottage is another ensuited guest room - again with deep spa tub. Between the two bedrooms is a third bedroom which has been used by the current owners as a home office when they are staying at the property.

Outside, covered verandahs hug the entire property and low-maintenance landscaped surrounds increase the sense of luxury and privacy. The cottage overlooks a large earth dam which has been stocked with fish and a nearby plunge pool spa and fire pit mean you spend very little time inside. Finally, the amazing established orchard produces all the lemons your freshly shucked oysters might need and some blood oranges for a sneaky gin and tonic.

A double car-port and lockable workshop space sit just under the property and also offer excellent storage.

Currently used by the owners as a weekend property but rented when they are not using it, it is perfect as it is but also has further development potential.

Inspection by private appointment.
