Lot 3, 261 Standen Drive, Lower Belford NSW 2335

Set on ten rolling acres only minutes to the wineries, restaurants and concert venues of Hunter Valley Wine Country, this brand-new home offers spectacular views to the Barrington ranges along with the convenience of the Hunter Expressway which takes you direct to Newcastle in just 45 minutes and Sydney in 2 hours.

Wide covered porches on the front and back provide a warm country welcome and the perfect place to sit and watch your horses or cattle graze in the setting light. Solid Ironbark posts, soaring cathedral ceilings, hand-made barn doors and polished concrete floors – its hard to know where to start with this one. A massive open plan living space offers spectacular views and beautiful natural light from anywhere inside the house. A huge open kitchen with Smeg appliances, stunning stone tops, a walk-in pantry and soft-close doors and drawers sits at one end of the living space with open dining and living at the other. An additional home theatre provides a separate living space which would also be ideal for teenage retreat, rumpus room, home office or fifth bedroom.

Four very generous bedrooms adjoin the main living space with barn and stable doors, built-in robes with shelves and drawers and plantation shutters on the windows. The main has a massive sleek ensuite with double vanity and one of the biggest walk-in robes you will ever see. No fighting for space in this one. An additional study, laundry with full-cabinetry and another stunning main bathroom with freestanding tub complete a very unique offering. The home is kept comfortable all year round by reverse-cycle air conditioning and a wood-burning combustion fire.

Outside, ample machinery shedding (with a bathroom), additional garaging and an earth dam leave you wanting for nothing. A soon-to-be-completed Coles supermarket is only five minutes away along with some exciting urban renewal projects already underway in Branxton and the convenience of the new commercial centre under construction in Huntlee.

Inspection by private appointment.
