Comprising 17.84 hectares of undulating pasture the property was part of neighbouring historic Craigow and benefits from the hundreds of priceless deciduous trees which form a shady parkland canopy around its boundaries.
This theme is continued by the construction during 1986 of the fine Georgian style sandstone homestead which was built under the skill and guidance of the master craftsman and owner who, after years of collecting genuine colonial period building materials, made them the very fabric of this house, convincing the visitor that the building was erected and preserved from 180 years ago.
The new owner however will be comforted by the fact that the plumbing, wiring, roofing, fixtures and fittings are all of a low maintenance contemporary nature.
The homestead is grand in every respect and was designed specifically for its location, ensuring that the panoramic views are enjoyed from the house, offering convenience to the occupants and being welcoming to its visitors.
Approached by a long, canopied, private roadway the formal entry is accessed via automatic gates and a sweeping driveway to the broad veranda and large entry hall which is central to the dwelling, leading through to the paved sun terrace, magnificent gardens and the estuary views.
The high ceilings throughout the house compliment the gracious Georgian windows, solid panel Cedar doors, period fireplaces, polished colonial timber floor boards, wide skirts and architraves and the deep pile floor coverings. Gracious living rooms are very large and offer formal and informal living; the huge farmhouse kitchen is dominated by the magnificent fireplace and solid fuel range which, when lit, heats the water. A St George range and a dishwasher add further convenience to this fabulous kitchen with handy pantry and a utility room.
There is a large study and the four bedrooms have generous built in cupboards. There is a family bathroom and the master bedroom en suite is large with a bath and separate shower. Presentation throughout is of the highest quality.
Outbuildings include an attached carport and an impressive timber structure which houses a garage, workshop, stables and store.
The property is equipped with electric fencing, irrigation water supply and automatic reticulation systems.
The country surrounding this superb property has become an important cool climate wine growing district and well known wine makers and restaurateurs operate in the vicinity.
