356 Lovedale Road, Lovedale NSW 2325

Set on 25 acres along one of the Hunter Valley's most sought-after tourist routes, this picture-prefect Country Home makes an ideal weekender among the vineyards, restaurants and concert venues that Wine Country is famous for. For the past 17 years the property has been rented out when the owners aren't using it and has a long list of repeat customers and established website.

A former dairy, the current home is actually a modern interpretation of the original home on the property which dated back to 1900. Offering all the charm and character of a period home including French doors, polished timber boards and wide covered verandas, it also offers a modern open floor-plan and modern infrastructure and appliances.

The main living space is large and opens on three sides to covered verandas. A crackling wood fire is the heart of the home and a modern kitchen with stone tops and stainless appliances is connected to the entire living space.

Currently configured as a two bedroom home, a generously sized third bedroom could easily be created without compromising much living space at all. The two existing bedrooms are separated, both are generously sized and both have French doors opening to the covered verandas. One bedroom has an ensuite while the other is right next to the main bathroom. Both bathrooms have beautiful fittings and one offers a large deep-soak spa bath under a bay window.

In addition to the fireplace, the home is kept comfortable all year-round by reverse-cycle ducted air conditioning and can be operated in zones.

The property also has a rare RU2 zoning supporting an array of future development potential (subject to council approval). Additional accommodation, a restaurant, a function space, a cellar door or even detached dual-occupancy?

Excellent access to the Hunter Expressway makes this beautiful weekend home only 45 minutes from Newcastle and 2 hours from Sydney.

Inspection by private appointment.
