A custom designed kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone work surfaces, an island bench, top-of-the range white enamel appliances, an integrated Liebherr refrigerator and a dining zone with integrated seating and French doors to the sea-viewing verandah.
A lower-level living room with wet bar is the perfect addition for entertaining; while an enchanting main bathroom complements a spacious top-floor main bedroom suite secreted away behind antique doors with a dressing room and en suite.
The Court House offers modern self-contained north-facing accommodation opening out to a north-south mod grass tennis court and a roof top deck to soak up the views that will leave guests feeling like they holidaying at a country resort.
Lose yourself in the parklike gardens which burst into life in spring with meandering paths and dry stone walls linking a series of spectacular garden rooms. A romantic Potager kitchen garden laden with fruit trees, vegetable beds with espalier figs, pomegranates and old heritage roses will transport you to the French countryside; while a fire pit wrapped within a Spruce Pine Forest has the feel of a Nordic mountain retreat. Perhaps the most spectacular space is the stunning Japanese Tea House cocooned within a relaxing Zen garden shimmering with Gingko trees and overlooking a three tiered reticulated pond. Beautiful curving hedges, a crab apple walk, apple tree forest, an Australian native bush walk for guests to hike along and an incredible array of Oak and specimen trees all add to the botanic experience.
Aside from the park-like grounds, Madstone Farm provides superb functionality as a productive farm or equestrian facility with six large fenced paddocks with loose boxes and water suitable for horses, cattle or sheep, two stables, a menage surrounded by London Plane trees, dam, 50,000 litres of water storage servicing the garden, 30,000 litres of water storage servicing the house and two concrete floored machinery shed.
With a double remote garage, hydronic heating connected to the wood combustion fireplace and so much more to explore, Madstone Farm is rich in rareness and unique in scale in one of the hinterlands most picturesque settings; hidden yet convenient to everything the area has to offer.
