Morning sun reaches over the dewy expanse of the front yard, creating shadows from the ancient fig trees which dance on the lawn. The skies at the rear of the property light up in pastels across a wide expanse of horses, and countryside.
The open and peaceful feeling of the location is transferred beautifully inside the home.
Five large bedrooms, two very large living areas, formal dining, an oversized rumpus and a sixth bedroom in the detached former "honeymoon suite".
So much spaciousness, yet the home still feels full of warmth. For many years this property was a wedding reception venue. Love, that has been so often celebrated here, has imbibed the home.
The historical cottage of Motto Farm Homestead provides the base for the extended home, lending grace and heritage to the ambience of the property. The extensive renovations then provided ample space to hold functions and weddings - with custom fit-out including commercial kitchen with cool rooms, a ballroom and commercial bathrooms.
The recent owners have enjoyed the property as a wonderful family home, where a growing family can take advantage of all on offer; open outdoor spaces, numerous large living areas, intimate lounge area, fenced yards for animal keeping and plenty of parking for guests.
The next chapter for 2279 Pacific Highway is now waiting to be written. This truly is a choose your own adventure story - a good sized parcel of land, with pacific highway frontage just 20 mins from Newcastle CBD. A comfortable family home, with option for endless reinvention.
