90 Green Lane, Lovedale NSW 2325

Set on a perfectly private five-acre parcel in the beating-heart of the Hunter Valley, Pinkie is as cute as a button and much bigger than first impressions might suggest. Offering four very spacious bedrooms, tall cathedral ceilings, polished concrete floors, a self-cleaning in-ground pool and additional machinery shedding, it also has two megalitres of irrigation allocation and thanks to easy access to the Hunter Expressway, is just 50km from the sandy beaches of Newcastle and 175km to the CBD of Sydney.

The property is located along a leafy country lane at the top of a rise and is hidden behind tall hedgerows making it serenely private. Once you're inside, mown park-like acres are studded with beautiful shade trees and through the trees are wide views of the surrounding countryside. The pink patina of the house conjures memories of Tuscany and with a glass of wine in your hand and the setting sun glowing through the trees – you could easily be mistaken.

Stepping inside, beautiful polished concrete floors, tall cathedral ceilings, handmade cedar joinery, abundant natural light and an open floor-plan, this home is instantly impressive. The main lounge space is enormous and connects seamlessly to the dining and open kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a 900mm Smeg cooker, stainless benches and a huge walk in/butlers pantry. Through massive handmade cedar doors is a billiard room with another lounge space that opens to the backyard and in-ground pool. Yet another living space flows from the main living area and is perfect for younger kids or a home office. Again, French doors connect it to the backyard and in-ground pool.

Four very generous bedrooms all have built-in robes except the main which has a walk-in robe. They all have excellent natural light and share a newly renovated bathroom with open shower, double vanities and bath tub by the window. The laundry, adjacent to the main bedroom would be simple to convert into an ensuite to the main room.

Outside, the property offers plenty of places to sit and enjoy your surrounds – from the alfresco BBQ area at the front to the pool area at the back or maybe even the veggie patch at the side. A large machinery shed with two-bay carport provides ample storage for cars and equipment and the underground concrete tanks ensures water is abundant.
