102 Main Road

Cliftleigh NSW 2321

Horse owners are well catered for with four well-appointed horse stables, two day yards, a dressage arena and a large steel round yard, both with a sand surface.

A large concrete wash bay and several tie-up areas assist with your grooming routine, while there's plenty of room to store your saddles and accessories in the lockable tack shed.

Seven equal-sized paddocks with their own water supply would be ideal for horses or hobby farmers keen to house a small herd of livestock, while a 14mx 20m covered open barn would make the ideal hay or machinery storage shed. The property also features a separate 22m x10m barn with a mezzanine level studio and a lockable central workshop for additional storage or work space.

Those with an interest in horticulture can make the most of the existing income-producing opportunity by continuing to propagate bamboo to sell the edible shoots and timber.

The property produces five different types of bamboo and has two 10m-long poly grow tunnels with their own automatic watering system, while the bamboo nursery and wood yard is fully fenced with timber rail and wire mesh.

A diverse orchard also allows you to produce a sizeable harvest of fruit and nuts each year, with a row of pecan trees, a macadamia tree and nine varieties of mature citrus trees as well as both ruby and normal varieties grapefruit.

Once the day's work is done this property offers plenty of spots to sit back and relax, from the full-length covered alfresco area to the 4-5-person swim spa surrounded by no-maintenance Modwood composite timber decking, which are both located at the rear of the home with picturesque views through to trees to the farmlands beyond.

The custom-designed three-year-old residence is a pleasure to come home to and is designed for entertaining, with seamless connectivity between the main central living zone and the alfresco area, elegantly sophisticated interiors and luxurious inclusions that take its finish to the next level.

A massive children's activity area surrounded by three of the home's four spacious bedrooms offers a dedicated chill-out zone for the younger members of the family while the master suite is located in its own wing at the other end of the house, creating a tranquil parents' retreat with sliding door access to a private deck.

The home features a good-sized study as well as a separate expansive home office, which would make the ideal space for a home-based business with sound proofing, data and TV connection points and separate access from the port cochere at the front of the home, while a large built-in wardrobe would allow this space to be used as a fifth bedroom or guest room.

Timber accents add warmth and texture throughout this home, from the western red cedar lined ceilings and the built-in Oregon timber slab desk in the study to the hard-wearing timber-look vinyl plank flooring.

An abundance of louvered windows and the glass stacker doors in the central living space, which slide back to create a six metre wide opening, provide fantastic ventilation while also ensuring the home is flooded with natural light.

Ceiling fans and a ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning system ensure the home is climate controlled, while a double slow combustion wood-fired heater is a cosy traditional touch, with the ability to heat right through from the living room to the master.

A luxurious gourmet kitchen and butler's pantry with all the trimmings will win over the family chef while also adding to the home's overall air of distinction, while stylish fittings and fixtures ensure the ensuite and family bathroom are both opulent yet practical.

Additional accommodation options enhance the potential of this magnificent property, with the main residence augmented by a separate Viscount transportable building with its own kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, air conditioner and verandah, while the larger barn includes a mezzanine studio with open plan living space, air conditioner, kitchenette, shower and toilet.

An extensive list of inclusions ensure this property has to be seen to be truly appreciated, while its prime Cliftleigh location adds city conveniences to its country charm, located just 10 minutes from the revitalised city centre of Maitland, which is home to several large shopping centres, bustling business precincts and a growing culinary scene with gourmet cafes and well-regarded restaurants renowned for their seasonal dishes.

The regionally significant retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills is also less than 15 minutes away, while the property is two minutes from the Hunter Expressway, which provides a more direct connection to the attractions of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley vineyards and the Upper Hunter, which can all be reached within 30-40 minutes.
